The client
A Women’s Clinic moved into a new unit in the Twin Towers, in Sete Rios (Espaço 7RIOS), Lisbon — one of the capital's most modern and prestigious business spaces — and chose DataRoad to design and implement the clinic's entire IT infrastructure.
The challenge
A modern clinic relies daily on fast, secure and always available computer systems. It was necessary to equip the new unit with a robust network for around 50 workstations, with state-of-the-art WiFi coverage, segmentation and security appropriate for sensitive clinical data, reliable backups and permanent support to guarantee continuity — all ready for the clinic's launch.
