Abstract

The match of research activity, paediatric healthcare services offered by the IRCCS Burlo and internet access of long-stay patients produces a complex situation regarding IT security, network architecture and management. Often at the most inopportune time computers and other electronic devices quit working so the IT Staff has to ensure the proper functioning of equipment needed by the hospital’s activity, the access to the network ensuring both intranet and internet protection and a strong access control to prevent as much as possible any fault or data loss. By the IT staff studies came to light the needs of a network infrastructure built ad hoc for the Burlo environment and a strength and secure server farm able to grant a strong service continuity in order to gear secure and reliable workstations. This paper shows how the IT Staff has reached that, implementing some Network Management System and capitalizing on virtualization capability.
