Accelerate digital transformation of healthcare
“Technology sets the vision for the hospital,” says Shimi Ben Baruch, vice president and CTO at Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
Shaare Zedek is a leading research and teaching hospital in Israel, running 30 departments and 70 outpatient clinics that provide innovative treatments and therapies to 1,000,000 patients per year. It is a model for large-scale emergency medicine and a leader in applying AI to patient care.
Reliable, automated operations
Shaare Zedek Medical Center moved from a legacy Layer 2 data center architecture to a modern EVPN/VXLAN IP fabric, automated through Apstra. Juniper QFX5120 Switches serve as the data center core, delivering 100-Gbps of capacity to support clinical and administrative applications as well as massive research data sets.
The hospital operates around the clock and the data center cannot be shut down for maintenance or upgrades. The IT team used Juniper Apstra intent-based networking software to automate and validate the network design and deployment.
As requirements evolve, IT can use Apstra to implement network changes faster and with change control and validation.
Enable availability of clinical and administrative applications
With Juniper Apstra software, Shaare Zedek has been able to deploy a new core network fabric faster, maximize data center uptime with network visibility and automation, and streamline network operations.
When problems do arise, they can be resolved more quickly, thanks to Apstra, which continuously self-validates and automatically resolves issues to assure compliance.
