El Camino Hospital Deploys Gomez to Ensure Web Site Performance
Monitors Performance and Availability of Hospital's First Web Applications from the "Outside-In" LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Gomez, Inc. (www.gomez.com), the leader in Web application experience management, today announced that El Camino Hospital has deployed Gomez's Web performance monitoring solutions to ensure the performance and availability of two recently launched Web applications - its public Web site and its physician application site. Nationally recognized as a leader in technology adoption, Silicon Valley-based El Camino Hospital's new public Web site serves as its online "front door" to patients, physicians and its community and garners over 2000 visits a day. Its new physician application site handles the submission and credentialing of new doctors. Both Web applications mark the first phase of El Camino Hospital's strategy to create and deliver new Web portals to better serve its community. By deploying Gomez, El Camino Hospital is able to monitor the performance of these two Web applications from the "outside-in" using measurement nodes across California. This enables it to track how fast and available its sites perform from the perspective of its end-users throughout the state. If performance drops below acceptable thresholds, El Camino Hospital receives alerts with granular detail about the problem and its root cause, enabling the hospital to quickly address the issue before end-users are impacted. Additionally, given its plans to develop more online services, the hospital now has a baseline of its Web performance against which to measure performance optimization. "El Camino Hospital has a reputation for adopting state-of-the-art technology that benefits our patients, staff and community. So ensuring that our new Web applications perform well was at the heart of our strategy from the outset, "said Greg Walton, CIO of El Camino Hospital. "Deploying a professional solution like Gomez helps us verify and improve the quality of our online services for all end-users.
