Bronx hospital leaps to 10G

摘要

The good news was that the LAN at the North Bronx Healthcare Network was predictable; unfortunately that was the bad news, too. With zero network downtime in five years, the Cisco-based LAN was "a phenomenally stable environment," says Dan Morreale, CIO at NBHN. But doctors and nurses using the system also could count on phenomenal delays when using applications over the healthcare provider's 10M bit/sec hubs and Fast Ethernet backbone. In fact, when running network applications, some NBHN staff members were known for giving computer screens that old familiar cheer for which this New York borough is famous.
