The Metropolitan Nashville Hospital Authority now has data and voice services from tw telecom, the company that also does their data and internet services.
“The Hospital Authority needed to upgrade communications capabilities to meet the growing needs of Metropolitan Nashville,” said Robert Stillwell, CPA, Chief Financial Officer for the Metropolitan Nashville Authority. After a thorough RFP and search we saw that tw telecom could provide the solutions and expertise required for this transformation. As essential care facilities for the residents of the City of Nashville and Davidson County, we see tens of thousands of patients each year and this improvement to our infrastructure will support our mission to provide seamless, high quality care to our patients.”
The Authority now has two 10Mbps Ethernet circuits, a point-to-point data connection, a 500Mbps Ethernet connection to an off-site disaster recovery and business continuity location, and voice services at Nashville General Hospital and other locations.
“We were very pleased with tw telecom’s Internet and data services, and these additional services were the next component required for our upgrade,” said Ken Irwin, Telecom Manager for the Authority. “Today we have a single provider that delivers a converged, SONET-protected communications solution to the Authority. Having one provider streamlines network management capabilities as well as providing real expense savings that ultimately benefits taxpayers.”
