Multinational Healthcare Provider Simplifies Platforms and Networking With HP ProLiant Servers and HP NC7170 Network Adapters

Overview Founded in 1971 in Columbus, Ohio, Cardinal Health has grown into a multinational healthcare provider for customers ranging from healthcare manufacturers to patient care providers. Cardinal Health has evolved beyond drug distribution and acquired leading companies across the healthcare industry. As one might expect with this number of acquisitions and mergers, the IT environment under the ever-expanding Cardinal Health umbrella included a wide range of technologies and diverse platforms. A few years ago, the company began a long-term project to bring uniformity across all the business units. With standardization and efficiency as the primary goals, Cardinal Health has put HP ProLiant servers and the HP NC7170 Dual-port Gigabit Server Adapter at the center of this transformation.
