NexGen Networks and NexGen Healthcare warn that outdated systems are holding back innovation, security, and cloud transformation—and offer a modern path forward.

There is a growing and dangerous risk many enterprises and healthcare systems continue to ignore: legacy infrastructure.

The truth is, many organizations are still operating mission-critical applications on infrastructure that’s 10 or even 20 years old. It’s not just inefficient—it’s a ticking time bomb. - Edward Lawson, SVP of Business Development at NexGen Networks

From outdated MPLS networks and non-virtualized data centers to aging network hardware, legacy systems are increasingly incompatible with the demands of modern cloud applications, AI workloads, and hybrid work environments. Even worse, they introduce major risks—from security vulnerabilities and compliance failures to data bottlenecks and service outages.

A Breaking Point in Enterprise and Healthcare

In enterprise environments, the cost of downtime due to legacy systems can be millions per hour. In hospitals, it’s even more critical—where slow networks or unintegrated systems can delay diagnoses, reduce patient throughput, and compromise data privacy.

Recent reports show:

• Over 60% of hospitals still rely on at least one core system running on legacy infrastructure.
• Enterprises pursuing AI and cloud initiatives cite outdated networks as the #1 bottleneck.

Modern Connectivity: A Safer, Smarter Future

NexGen’s Cloud Direct Connect solutions offer private, SLA-backed access to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle—delivering ultra-low latency, security, and performance across enterprise and healthcare workflows. The company also enables hospitals to modernize EHR access, imaging platforms, and real-time clinical data exchange—while meeting all HIPAA and HITECH requirements.

Whether it's a bank processing secure transactions or a hospital pushing high-resolution scans to the cloud, the need is the same: speed, security, and reliability, emphasizes Lawson. Legacy infrastructure can't keep up—and we’re here to help organizations make the leap without disruption.
