Case Studies

U.S. Healthcare System (Michigan)

ADV NET MANAGEMENT implemented rConfig across a regional hospital network managing over 300 switches and firewalls. By scheduling daily backups and enforcing diff-based alerts, the hospital achieved HIPAA audit compliance and reduced recovery time from configuration
failures by 70%

U.S. K-12 School District (Nevada)

A multi-campus school system partnered with ADV NET MANAGEMENT to deploy rConfig for their Cisco-based infrastructure. Configuration version control helped IT staff maintain uptime during summer upgrade cycles and minimized service disruptions during term times

Canadian MSP (British Columbia)

A mid-sized managed service provider used ADV NET MANAGEMENT’s custom rConfig deployment to handle remote device configuration backups across 200+ client locations. Using the built-in change tracker, the MSP flagged 18 unauthorized changes within the first month, improving client trust and SLA adherence
