Modern healthcare site connectivity
How can a growing healthcare group build a reliable IT infrastructure across multiple locations – securely, scalably, and in compliance with regulations? Especially for organizations with numerous branches, high requirements for availability and data protection often intersect with historically grown and heterogeneous IT environments.
In this deep dive, together with our customer AUXILIUM, a leading and rapidly expanding provider in the healthcare sector, we use a specific project as an example to demonstrate how modern site connectivity in healthcare can be implemented – with secure VPN connections, a centralized security architecture, and high-performance firewall concepts. We walk through the key challenges, the solution approach, and the practical implementation process – from planning through rollout. The session also includes best practices, lessons learned from day-to-day project work, and time for questions.

With 30 years of professional experience in various IT areas such as storage, IT security, networking, and SD-WAN, Christoph Spitzer has gained a wealth of experience in technology and people management.
Solution Engineer Defense & Public: Niklas Blum works as a solution engineer in the Defense & Public division at LANCOM Systems GmbH. In this role, he primarily supports customers from the public sector and the defense industry, assisting them with the design, implementation, and optimization of secure network solutions “engineered in Germany.” With his technical expertise and practical approach, he is a competent contact for complex IT infrastructures and customized security solutions.
What to expect in this Deep Dive
This deep dive uses a real-world healthcare case to demonstrate how a group organization with more than 100 locations established a secure, scalable, and future-ready network architecture. The focus lies on overcoming historically grown IT structures, meeting increasing regulatory requirements such as NIS2, and consistently implementing digital sovereignty.
Key topics include:
Secure site connectivity:
Integrating numerous branches and entities into a unified and high-performance network architecture.
Firewall architecture & security design:
Implementing centralized security gateways, secure VPN connectivity, and protecting sensitive healthcare data with modern firewall concepts.
Centralized & decentralized network management:
Combining efficient central control via a management platform with flexibility for individual locations.
Compliance & digital sovereignty:
Meeting regulatory requirements (e.g., NIS2) and building an independent infrastructure “Engineered in Germany.”
Project approach & best practices:
Practical insights into planning, rollout, and operations—including lessons learned from real-world implementation.
The session concludes with practical recommendations and an open Q&A segment
