Dr DY Patil Hospital & Research Centre selects Juniper Networks for its network upgrade

Sophisticated network upgrades will engineer simplicity and automation across the hospital’s digitisation efforts, streamlining availability of systems such as the EHR, HIS and PACS

Juniper Networks has been selected by the Dr DY Patil Hospital & Research Centre in Pune, for its network upgrade. This will greatly simplify the hospital’s network configuration, management and maintenance and allow it to deliver technology-enabled healthcare with zero downtime.

In line with the country’s push toward a digital India, Dr DY Patil Vidyapeeth University (DPU) was seeking a cost-effective and easy-to-manage network upgrade that could accommodate the healthcare industry’s rapid digital transformation. The requirements included the ability to not only support but also future proof the hospital’s digitisation efforts, especially with initiatives such as the electronic health record system (EHR), picture archival and communications system (PACS) and the hospital information system (HIR).

DPU has deployed comprehensive upgrades from Juniper, including the QFX5100 and EX4600 switches while implementing an inside-out security model through Juniper Connected Security by deploying the SRX1500 services gateway. In addition, the Junos Space network management platform has allowed the small IT team to automate policies, configurations, change management and troubleshooting – all from a central location.

The entire institute is now managed by only two engineers who supervise over 5000+ IT users across the campus.
