Everything we do is shifting to our devices. You’re using more devices to accomplish more every day. This transition away from paper is great news for the environment, but it requires more bandwidth all the time to support these devices, and that means you’re asking more from your backbone cabling than it may be able to support.
If you upgrade your switches to get faster speeds, but your backbone cabling doesn’t support those speeds, you won’t see any improvement. Your structured cabling needs to support the speeds you need; all the upgrades down the line won’t make a difference unless it does. It’s like having a Ferrari with a Model-T engine.
Our healthcare customers are seeing this issue frequently as they increase the amount of work done on devices. A big factor for many hospitals is the shift to electronic medical records. Everyone involved in patient care is using the network to enter data all the time. Without reliable, up-to-date structured cabling the shift to paperless record keeping can lead to enormous frustration for medical and administrative staff. What are the symptoms? Slow response is an early warning sign and in our hyper productive world, slow response is not acceptable. Read a new case study to see how KTS helped a local hospital solve this problem.
Everything is getting faster, if your network is having trouble keeping up, KTS can evaluate your structured cabling and help you phase improvements to fit your timeline and your budget. We do this all the time. Is it time to pay some attention to your backbone? Contact us.
