SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--Viptela, the Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) company, announced today that one of its customers, Acadia Healthcare, will share their experiences using SD-WAN to transform their business to cloud-based applications at the upcoming Open Networking User Group (ONUG) Spring 2017 Conference. Viptela will also demonstrate its SD-WAN platform at its booth

   

WHO:

Eric Lester is Director of Network Services at Acadia Healthcare, one of the largest providers of inpatient behavioral healthcare services with a network of over 500 behavioral healthcare facilities in 39 US states, the United Kingdom and Puerto Rico. It was ranked on the Fortune 100 list of fastest growing companies in 2016. Eric leads the Network Engineering, Telecom, and Field Support teams responsible for the design and engineering, deployment, and support of network related services at all of the company’s facilities.

In order to ensure users have fast, reliable and secure connectivity to cloud-based enterprise apps, organizations are turning to SD-WAN. In this session, “Transforming to Cloud-Based Applications with SD-WAN,” Eric Lester will explain how SD-WAN technology from Viptela has enabled his organization to:
-- Migrate to cloud-based healthcare applications
-- Ensure 100% network uptime of patient and administrative services
