One of the most interesting aspects of this whole BYOD area is that the level of response and IT support will spike. In the area of the connected wired or wireless medical device on the network…there will be a need and requirement that these devices continued to provide the same “quality of service” that was previously validated and verified through a FDA 510k approval. You could say that improvements to the “network design” actually may lower risk. Lowering risk is good when more and more medical devices are part of the network. It seems that one company Enterasys while flying under the radar is now flying at the speed of sound. Their High performance ASIC – CoreFlow2 allows control at the “silicon level”, while their M2M monitoring provides proactive management. What this all means is IT staff can be used more efficiently. In some instances I have heard that wireless voice over IP help desks calls have been reduced 90%. So…it turns out that a nice OPEX and TCO business model can be tied to this.
