Modern Healthcare Networks: Secure, Compliant, and AI-Ready

Transform healthcare networks with AI, automation, and observability, secure patient data, meet HIPAA, and cut costs without vendor lock-in.

Read Solution Brief

Healthcare Networks Must Be Compliant, Secure, and Future-Ready

In healthcare, compliance and security aren't optional, they're the foundation. But that doesn't mean your network should lag behind in innovation.

From high-resolution imaging and telemedicine to AI-assisted diagnostics and real-time patient monitoring, bandwidth demands are growing fast. At the same time, IT teams must protect sensitive patient data, meet strict compliance requirements, and run lean operations without compromising service.

The challenge: How do you scale bandwidth, enhance observability, and adopt AI, without breaking compliance or budgets?

Do These Questions Sound Familiar to You?

1. How can I keep my healthcare network fully compliant while still innovating and adopting AI?
2. How do I get true end-to-end visibility, across hospitals, labs, cloud, and remote sites, without expensive, hardware-locked tools?
3. How do I simplify network operations for a small IT team while closing the AI and skills gap?
4. How can I future-proof my network to scale bandwidth and performance without unpredictable budget spikes or replacing OEM-approved hardware?

Healthcare Networking: From Complexity to Compliance-First Simplicity

Healthcare Challenge

How Aviz Solves It

• AI-Driven Efficiency with Complete Data Privacy: Skilled IT staff are stretched thin, and generic AI tools can't work securely across the entire network without exposing data.

• Private, On-Prem Network Copilot™: A vendor-neutral, on-prem AI platform that automates troubleshooting, routine tasks, and compliance checks, delivering 30–40% ROI while ensuring zero data leaves your premises.

• Compliance-Grade Network Observability Without Vendor Dependency: Compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, and other mandates requires deep, packet-level visibility, traditionally tied to costly, hardware-locked systems.

• Deep Observability with Aviz Packet Broker & Service Nodes: Monitor every packet across hospitals, labs, and remote care sites, in both data centers and POPs, enabling HIPAA compliance reporting, faster audits, and better security posture, all on your existing hardware.

• Maintaining Uptime While Modernizing Infrastructure: Life-critical care requires always-on networks, but vendor-locked upgrades can cause long outages and budget spikes.

• Standards-Based Fabric with SONiC: Scale bandwidth on-demand, avoid forklift upgrades, and reduce maintenance windows with a proven, multi-vendor, software-first approach.

• Fragmented Operations Across Sites: Disconnected tools and hardware silos slow troubleshooting and response times.

• Unified, Vendor-Agnostic Automation: Manage all network layers from a single pane, across Cisco, Dell, Arista, NVIDIA, and more, enabling consistent automation and faster rollouts.

Case Study: Proven at Scale in Healthcare

A leading global healthcare provider partnered with Aviz to deploy a fully compliant, vendor-neutral observability stack alongside a private on-prem Network Copilot™. The result? Faster troubleshooting, lower costs, and AI-driven operations, all without risking patient data or regulatory compliance.

Deep Network Observability in Healthcare

• Objective: Deploy a cost-effective Deep Network Observability (DNO) solution to feed their security tools and identify high- and low-risk traffic.
• Strategic Issue: Existing packet broker lacked DPI capabilities, limiting application visibility.
• Problem: The customer had deployed NVIDIA in a multi-vendor core and data center network but needed a vendor-neutral solution to provide missing deep network observability.
• Solution: Switched to the Aviz Deep Network Observability solution to enable Deep Packet Inspection, identify high- and low-risk traffic, and forward it to security tools.

Hardware Partners

Why They Chose Aviz

• Cost Optimization Solution: Legacy and existing packet brokers are overpriced and don’t offer a cost-effective, comprehensive Deep Network Observability solution.
• Go-To Tech Support: Aviz offers 24/7 outstanding support, empowering customers with the confidence for seamless, hassle-free deployments.

Key Results

A healthcare provider deployed a Deep Packet Observability solution that significantly reduced costs compared to traditional packet broker solutions. This platform optimized expenses, simplified operations, and delivers a future-proof, vendor-agnostic approach.

Deep Network Observability

• Objective: Enable a cost-effective Deep Packet Observability solution compatible with diverse hardware and virtualization platforms.
• Strategic Issue: Troubleshooting bottlenecks: manual analysis for root cause identification is inefficient and highly time-consuming.
• Problem: The existing environment uses legacy NOS for its edge and a multi-vendor core and data center network. It requires a vendor-neutral solution to enable end-to-end visibility.
• Solution: Covenant Health selected Aviz to enable deep network observability using Aviz Packet Broker to tap traffic from multiple points and send it to monitoring tools.

Why They Chose Aviz

• Open and Vendor-Agnostic Architecture: Enables consolidation of observability functions on white-box switches and standard servers, removing dependency on proprietary platforms.
• Cost Optimization and Lifecycle Extension: Lowers development costs, minimizes upgrade frequency, and reduces power and hardware footprint, delivering a future-proof, efficient observability platform.

Key Results

MTTR was reduced by enabling a simplified packet broker solution to feed traffic to monitoring tools, achieving long-term scalability with 24/7 expert support.
