ThousandEyes Deployment Closes Network Gaps in a Pediatric Health System

Background

When the network goes quiet, patients feel it first.

For a pediatric healthcare system, a slow telehealth session isn't an IT ticket — it's a missed consultation. The team knew their network had gaps. What they didn't have was the visibility to find them before clinicians did.

OnStak deployed Cisco ThousandEyes end-to-end: 20 agents, 10 alert rules, 5 custom dashboards, and ongoing optimisation built in from day one — giving the healthcare system complete visibility from the device to the cloud.

Three Agent Types. One Complete Picture.

From the device to the cloud — nothing unmonitored.

Enterprise Agents
On-premises. Monitors internal paths, WAN, and outbound connectivity from inside the perimeter.
Endpoint Agents
On user devices. Captures the real clinician experience — LAN, Wi-Fi, VPN, and application performance as the user sees it.
Cloud Agents
Cisco-managed global nodes. Shows how your systems look from the outside — before a remote user reports a problem.
The Solution

Built for healthcare. Configured for what matters.

01

Discovery & Implementation Planning

Network environment assessed. Critical applications and performance thresholds identified. Full implementation plan built before anything was deployed.

02

Agent Installation & Configuration

Enterprise, Endpoint, and Cloud agents installed and configured across all tiers. Full coverage from device to destination — LAN, Wi-Fi, WAN, and Internet.

03

Test Configuration for Critical Systems

Tests built specifically around telehealth and clinical systems — not generic templates. Performance captured across every network layer simultaneously.

04

Alerts, Dashboards & Synthetic Web Tests

Thresholds set, notifications wired up, dashboards built for the people who need them. Two synthetic transaction tests implemented to catch bottlenecks before real users do.

05

Asset Tagging, Knowledge Transfer & Ongoing Support

Labels configured for operational clarity. Team trained to own the platform. Ongoing optimisation built in — not an add-on.

Platform View

ThousandEyes — what the network team sees now.

The deployed ThousandEyes environment gives the healthcare system a live, multi-layer view of network performance — from agent status through to web transaction health. Every dashboard widget is tied to a metric that matters to operations, not just to IT.

Business Outcomes

From invisible to unignorable.

Enhanced Network Visibility
Every path — LAN to Internet — now visible from multiple vantage points. No silent failures. No guesswork when something degrades.
Improved Decision-Making
The right KPIs reach the right people. Network decisions are now data-driven — not based on who complained first.
Proactive Issue Resolution
Alert thresholds catch degradation before it reaches clinicians. The team responds to signals, not symptoms.
Optimised User Experience
Synthetic transaction tests surface bottlenecks in the lab — not in a telehealth session with a patient on the line.
