Challenge

With multiple Vantage Oncology locations and more planned, the company's network was quickly becoming unmanageable because of a complex legacy system. Vantage Oncology looked to partner with a tier-one provider to help the company avoid this impasse and manage growth effectively.

Solution

Vantage Oncology evaluated four potential vendors and chose multi-protocol label switching (MPLS)-based Qwest iQ^® Networking Private Port service for its 24 centers across the U.S. In addition, Qwest provided a wide range of Cisco equipment for the centers and for the corporate location in California.

Network architecture provides control to support compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
