Extreme Networks, Inc. (EXTR) Answers the Call from Global Healthcare Leaders to Advance Patient Care and Operate Mission Critical Environments

Extreme Networks, a technology leader in high-performance ethernet switching for cloud, data center, and mobile networks, is assisting hospitals and healthcare service companies with its cutting-edge network solutions to develop network connectivity and enable cloud and mobile applications and services. The integration of Extreme Networks’ solutions is targeted towards improving patient care and streamlining processes by creating safe facilities that enable fast and secure sharing of data and medical images throughout the entire healthcare process. In fact, benefits from this collaboration are expected to be realized from patient rooms to doctor offices to operating rooms.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Tasmania’s Department of Health and Human Services, New York’s Jacobi Medical Center, Massachusetts’ Lowell General Hospital, and San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center of South Central Colorado are all included the group of prominent healthcare organizations currently collaborating with Extreme Networks.

Extreme Networks healthcare network solution empowers hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical providers, and care facilities of all types to be more competitive and deliver excellent care.

The Extreme Networks healthcare solution leverages high-speed ethernet that scales to 40/100GbE and offers Layer 2/3 services to develop resilient, reliable performance. Additionally, software functionality from ExtremeXOS® has been improved to deliver the substantial performance and capabilities required to operate in any environment, from massive cloud and data center applications to intelligent, converged enterprise edge networks.

Medical imaging expert Barco offers a fully networked digital OR supported by a capable 10GbE Extreme Network as a part of its Nexxis visual display solutions. This ‘OR-over-IP’ Open Fabric Ethernet approach improves patient care by enabling more advanced medical imaging in an increasingly complex environment and ensures centralized control of the entire OR. Extreme Networks 10 GbE network switch is the backbone of this digital OR system architecture ensuring distribution of this mission critical video, audio, and data with near-zero latency, in and beyond the OR.

“Extreme Networks was the right choice for our digital operating room solution because of its low latency speed and reliability and service options,” said Johan Stockman, VP Strategic Marketing Surgical Imaging for Barco. “We needed a next generation Ethernet fabric switch that could immediately accommodate our requirements where accuracy, availability and stunning images are the everyday expectation.”
