The need to improve cyber security and Internet connectivity within a healthcare setting can be addressed with a single solution. SD-WAN is an elegant solution that overcomes numerous challenges and can alleviate the pressure on your IT team to guarantee network integrity.

Traditional networks that rely on routers are not capable of providing the flexibility, resiliency, or capacity to support cloud applications that require remote access. Leading Australian healthcare organisations are switching to Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) utilising Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to better manage their technology needs. This cloud-friendly set-up enables healthcare facilities to manage multiple users across locations while ensuring security is maintained for all endpoints.

Our SD-WAN solution utilises Cisco Meraki technology to deliver proactive monitoring, real-time diagnostics, and 24/7 support to ensure your network performs consistently and without interruption. A team of Spirit experts can assess your current and future requirements, select the ideal technology mix, and install the right SD-WAN solution across your organisational setting.  

Modern healthcare facilities rely on the continuous and secure connection of countless devices and items of medical equipment to run efficiently. Medical data must be available in real time so frontline staff can complete their roles. Coverage black spots, Internet outages, and unsecure networks can be a matter of life and death for organisations committed to providing medical care. Spirit works with leading Australian medical providers to upgrade cyber security, improve Internet coverage, and improve data use and application.

Our SD-WAN products are secure by design, utilising the latest generation firewall to deliver robust protection against cyber threats. This firewall protection boasts anti-botnet, antivirus, web filtering, IP reputation, intrusion prevention, SSL inspection, and IPsec VPN inspection. When coupled with continuous threat intelligence updates, the solution can protect your data from emerging risks and vulnerabilities.

Traffic can be instantly directed toward the next best available link should an outage or link failure occur and is routed based on priority status to ensure data utilises the optimal path to its desired destination. Spirit experts can design and install your SD-WAN solution and provide ongoing support, freeing up valuable IT resources and ensuring your organisation complies with regulatory benchmarks and industry standards.
