MINNEAPOLIS, May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mushroom Networks, innovators in Broadband-Bonding™ and Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) platforms, today announced Borrego Health, a non-profit healthcare provider across Southern California, has selected Mushroom Networks' Truffle Broadband-Bonding SD-WAN platform to upgrade their legacy MPLS network with a Software-Defined Network (SDN) architecture. By doing so, Borrego Health boosted performance and reliability for mission-critical applications while simultaneously lowering costs and complexity for its IT staff by 70 percent.
"In addition to our VoIP and video collaboration applications, we needed better reliability and performance for our Electronic Health Systems (EHS) data," said Dave Baldwin, CIO of Borrego Health. "EHS is a fundamental cloud application for our clinics. Our EHS services can't go down. It literally can be a matter of life and death. As a result, we evaluated many different SD-WAN platforms in order to secure the most reliable solution available. After extensive evaluation, Mushroom Networks was the only one that met our needs."
Borrego Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center operating in San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. It offers compassionate, quality care to all. Patients have access to specialists in such fields as dermatology, mental health, pediatrics, podiatry, prenatal care, reproductive health and women's health. Borrego Health owns 24 clinics and will reach over 30 clinics in 2017.
Borrego Health selected Mushroom Networks' Truffle SD-WAN platform in order to upgrade its legacy MPLS network, delivered primarily over aging copper cabling, which was experiencing significant reliability issues, at speeds from 3mbps to 200mbps. Unlike other SD-WAN solutions, Truffle employs Mushroom's proprietary Broadband-Bonding technology that enables high-performance, high-bandwidth connectivity as well as sustained application-level performance. Broadband Bonding also enables Borrego's network to leverage secondary and tertiary circuits in order to deliver all available bandwidth from all circuits simultaneously, with an always-on, auto-failover design that prioritizes and optimizes mission-critical applications automatically. Using Truffle, Mushroom Networks provided Borrego Health with a completely new SDN architecture, as well as the following benefits:
Mushroom Networks will be demonstrating Borrego Health's solution, as well as its entire portfolio of SD-WAN solutions with Broadband-Bonding technology, in booth #2540 at this year's ATA 2016 telehealth conference and tradeshow, taking place in Minneapolis, MN this May 14-17.
