Władysław Biegański Regional Specialist Hospital in Grudziądz is the most dynamically developing medical facility in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province. At present, the Hospital has 52 branches, employs about 2,300 people, hospitalises 55,000 people annually and performs more than a million examinations. These numbers can only increase in the near future, as the Hospital's authorities take care of the dynamic development of their facility. Recently, works on the development of IT infrastructure have been completed. The value of the main contract amounted to nearly PLN 2 million.

Thanks to APIUS Technologies, the Hospital in Grudziądz underwent a thorough modernisation in the scope of IT solutions. APIUS has built a high-performance and reliable campus network using the latest CISCO Systems solutions, including the virtualisation of backbone switches.

"The scope of the project included designing a solution for the needs of the Hospital, providing equipment, implementation, specialist training for employees and 3-year maintenance period", says Tomasz Kawa who was responsible for the implementation of the project. "After modernising the campus network, the number of problems with network faced by the hospital in the past has fallen to almost zero," adds T. Kawa.

Na potrzeby szpitala zbudowano strefę Data Center opartą na dwóch niezależnych serwerowniach z przełącznikami klasy Nexus. Szkielet sieci oparty jest na technologii 10 GB Ethernet. Węzły krytyczne szpitala są połączone z rdzeniem sieci za pomocą połączenia agregacyjnego Ethernet o pojemności 20 GB. Projekt został zrealizowany przy użyciu takich urządzeń jak Catalyst 6500 z najnowszymi modułami Supervisor Engine 2T, przełącznikami Catalyst 2960S z łączami ethernetowymi 10 GB, przełącznikami Nexus 5000 Data Center i modułami Nexus 2000.
