"NetScout allows us to see what traffic is coming across." Training a Watchful Eye on Streaming Video, Records Management Denver Health's needs have evolved over time to require streaming video for education and collaboration. The IT organization is using the nGenius Solution to ensure quality and bandwidth availability for the streaming video but not at the expense of other essential networked applications such as PACS. Denver Health also recently leveraged the nGenius Solution to enhance communication between the network and application teams, when Siemens' Enterprise Document Management (EDM (Engineering Data Management) An information system that maintains the details of all engineering data while the product is in the design and concept phase. This includes geometry and changes to geometry. See PLM. EDM - Electronic Data Management ) replaced the medical records system and also assumed a greatly expanded role within daily operations. "Overnight, we went from 300 users to 1200 users, and in the first few days the EDM deployment team was very interested to know how the application was doing on the network," says Bradley. "Instead of saying we'd have to check and let them know later, we pulled up nGenius System reports and shared the information with them." "Denver Health's investment in the nGenius Solution reflects their commitment to reducing troubleshooting time and proactive network management," said John Downing, vice president, worldwide sales for NetScout Systems. "Their achievement of 100 percent uptime for two years running is testament to the fact that performance can be assured despite rollouts of major new technologies and applications, and NetScout is excited to be playing a role in their success."
