Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 14, 2011
GNAX extended its ability to offer healthcare providers direct connection to its Healthcare IT Ecosystem through Level 3 Communications, Inc. Level 3 extended its network infrastructure in Georgia with the construction of a full network point of presence and fiber node at Global Net Access’s (GNAX) AtlantaNAP Data Center, the main healthcare IT hub in Georgia. GNAX hosts a range of healthcare customers, including two of Georgia’s largest hospital systems.
GNAX/AtlantaNAP is one of the largest healthcare data centers in Georgia, recently announcing a health information exchange (HIE) that is free all healthcare providers. Additionally, the direct connection to Level 3′s advanced IP network offers a majority of Georgia healthcare providers access to regional, scalable solutions capable of meeting the increasing industry need for more efficient communications services.
“Our customers demand network access and solutions that are capable of meeting their ever-rising need for swift and secure data redundancy,” said Jeff Hinkle, President and Chief Operating Officer for GNAX. “Directly connecting our facility to Level 3′s network brings innovative ways to allow customers to access our HIT Ecosystem efficiently and cost effectively, and underscores our dedication to offering our customers the best solutions possible for network access and advanced communications services.”
The key is to get connected first, continued Mr. Hinkle. Once you are connected into this ecosystem from a network perspective, you have direct access to a multitude of healthcare technology services, not only from GNAX but from our partners and other healthcare technology providers who we service in our data center as well.
According to the June 2010 Cisco, Visual Networking Index, recent industry estimates show that healthcare data is more than quadrupling every two years, and Level 3′s high-capacity backbone network and targeted services are well-equipped to manage this increasingly dramatic rise. Level 3 offers a variety of network solutions designed to meet the growing communications needs of the healthcare industry, including strategic planning for future network requirements, managed and efficient storage solutions, disaster recovery capabilities, and optimized network planning to improve organizational efficiencies.
“Atlanta is an important market for Level 3, and building direct access into the AtlantaNAP Data Center demonstrates our commitment to providing first-rate solutions to the healthcare industry, while serving Atlanta businesses, universities and communities on a local level,” said Allan English, Level 3′s general manager for Georgia. “We are delighted that AtlantaNAP customers will be able to improve their information access and security using the direct connection to our Tier 1 network and robust service portfolio.”
Level 3 leverages its extensive fiber-optic network, metro assets and a locally focused sales and sales support organization to deliver world-class services to enterprise customers and service providers throughout the United States.
