The Healthcare industry is a dynamic and complex environment demanding ever-evolving
requirements from the local network. Mergers and Acquisitions, and
expansions are constantly challenging IT administrators to build new, flexible
networks. New applications, new technologies, and new tools are creating
an increasing need for more bandwidth. At the same time, health care
costs are rising quickly, and patient relations, including privacy concerns
as well as the rapidly expanding record-keeping requirements, are becoming
more important and difficult to manage. All these factors combine to create
difficult challenges for the IT staff.
MRV provides solutions to these problems through a variety of products.
Our modular and fixed-form OptiSwitch™ Ethernet switching and routing products are flexible and scalable, providing
a cost-effective method of aggregating data from offices and treatment rooms.
These switches all provide high-security through 802.1Q VLANs and other methods.
The OptiSwitch family also provides full Quality-of-Service to allow delay-sensitive
applications, like remote video or remote surgery to operate without fear
of conflict with other, lower priority data. Our products are also easy to
deploy and manage. The MegaVision
Web™ Network Management System provides a complete solution for managing
all MRV and other 3rd party products with a Web-based interface.
In many cases, hospitals operate on multi-building campuses. Today,
many of these facilities, even though they are very close together, are inter-connected
through a low-speed WAN connection, using T1 or E1 technology, or are not
connected at all. It is difficult and often impractical to run fiber-optic
cabling from building to building. When this is the case, the MRV TereScope™ line of Free-Space Optics (FSO) products provides a quick and easy solution
for delivering huge bandwidth quickly, at very attractive prices, between
buildings. With only line-of-site as a requirement, FSO technology
creates a high-speed network interconnect (up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds),
making two or more facilities act as a single large network.
For Healthcare networks, reliability is a mission-critical (sometimes life-critical)
requirement. MRV provides extremely reliable, robust equipment, together
with a vast array of redundancy technologies, from dual fiber-optic interfaces
and hot-swappable line-interface cards to fast fail-over protocols such as
Rapid Spanning Tree. MRV products provide a complete, cost effective,
secure and reliable solution to the challenges facing Healthcare networks.
