Leading Medical Device Manufacturer Selects Enterasys to Optimize Network Efficiency
DJO, headquartered in Vista, CA, is a global provider of medical devices that provide solutions for musculoskeletal health, vascular health, and pain management. As the company continues to expand, it was in need of a network restructuring that would optimize efficiency while supporting business-critical applications such as JD Edwards and Oracle, as well as provide network connectivity and security with unparalleled service and support to more than 1,200 users and 1,000 devices across multiple locations.
After evaluating a number of network vendors, including Cisco, Enterasys was chosen to enable the company’s small IT staff to support mission-critical front-end and back-office enterprise applications and deploy voice over IP (VoIP) and implement IP video surveillance – all while staying within network compliance guidelines of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
“From the very beginning, Enterasys demonstrated a clear understanding of our needs and our delivery timeline, and showed us the service and support that other vendors could not. Further, we were able to use Enterasys equipment in our multi-vendor environment with no problem, allowing us to maximize our investment in existing assets,” John Iraci, Vice President Enterprise Infrastructure, DJO said.
Today, DJO’s fully optimized network consists of Enterasys Matrix® N-Series and Enterasys XSR™ Security Routers at the network core, Enterasys® SecureStack™ C-Series switches at the network edge, and RoamAbout® wireless switches. Thanks to Enterasys NetSight® centralized visibility and control management software, a network systems staff of only one full-time and one part-time employee oversee the entire network of more than 2,000 users and devices. When auditors come knocking, Iraci says his staff is secure in knowing they have a compliance automation strategy based on the visibility provided by Enterasys.
“While we are very satisfied with the performance of Enterasys solutions, we are even more pleased with the personalized, high-touch service and support we’ve consistently received from the Enterasys team,” Iraci said. “Ultimately, that was what won and continues to keep our business. Not only do we save between 20 and 25 percent on total cost of ownership over other leading vendors, but we also have the security of knowing that any time we pick up the phone with a question or a concern, Enterasys will do whatever it takes to answer our questions or solve any problem—even those caused by other vendors’ equipment.”
