Project Spotlight

As networking systems and infrastructure age, they become more susceptible to outages – which can lead to disruptions in services for entities, like hospitals, that rely on them.

Over the past year, University of Kentucky Information Technology Services (UK ITS) partnered with Eastern State Hospital leadership to implement several, multi-phased network upgrades that replaced wireless access points (APs), switches and firewalls with minimal service disruptions for hospital staff and patients. The goal of the upgrades — to make the network faster, more reliable and easier to manage and support.
