WHAT:

Healthcare companies need to deploy cloud apps, hospital-partner networks, telemedicine and healthcare exchanges. However, these services are directly dependent on an underlying network infrastructure that was designed for the pre-Internet era. A new approach called Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is transforming legacy wide area networks (WAN) by making them more agile, adaptable to business requirements and secure. This session will explain the essential building blocks of SDN and how it can dramatically reduce WAN operational costs while improving performance and time to activation for new services. Attendees will hear real-world examples that illustrate how they can address their top networking challenges, including:

 
-- Guest Wi-Fi offload
-- Securely onboarding healthcare partners

-- Supporting video bandwidth requirements for tele-medicine and cloud apps

-- Meeting HIPAA security and compliance requirements
 

WHERE:

Westin Chicago River North, Chicago
 

WHEN:

Tuesday, March 17, 9:40 - 10:10 AM
