SmartPick Backup Introduces Backup Appliances for Offsite Backup of Exchange Server data

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2010

SmartPick Backup, a San Jose, California based provider of data backup appliances and services, announced the release of version 2 of their SmartFiler Appliances that enable automatic offsite data backup of Exchange Server data. Version 2 integrates SmartFiler Appliances with Symantecs Backup Exec System Recovery product to enable offsite data backup of Exchange data without tapes.

The unique aspect of the SmartFiler Backup Appliance solution is that it allows customers to own their offsite backup solution, free of monthly service charges. The initial version, introduced earlier this year has been very successful in the SMB market place for backing up file system data from servers and desktops in a heterogeneous network.

We are excited about our new solution that enables small and medium businesses to backup their Exchange data offsite without any manual intervention; a perfect solution to backup and restore entire Exchange Mailbox Store or individual mail boxes and folders, says Swami Nathan, President of SmartPick Backup. He adds, By partnering with Symantec, customers can now take advantage of the industry leading Backup Exec System Recovery product with the focused offsite solution that the SmartFiler Appliances bring for large amounts of data.

The SmartFiler Backup Appliances solution solves a challenging problem of backing up large amounts of data, typically greater than 50GB, offsite. SmartPick has been successfully providing online data backup products and services for small and medium businesses from 2003. With the shift by companies to store all data in a digital form, be it health records, financial information, email trails for compliance etc., it has become increasingly difficult to do a daily offsite backup, primarily due to the volume of data involved. The SmartFiler backup appliances are ideal for situations where more than 50GB of data need to be backed up daily onsite and offsite.

The SmartFiler Backup Appliance solution is the most cost effective offsite backup solution in the market today. Though it is built with enterprise class software and features, it provides a cost effective, yet elegant solution for small and medium businesses, says Suren Lalapet, Director of Marketing at SmartPick.

Symform Announces World"s First Cooperative Storage Exchange

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 3, 2010

Symform, Inc, a pioneer in decentralized cloud-computing solutions for SMBs and IT Service Providers, today announced the worlds first Cooperative Storage Exchange. The Symform Storage Exchange(TM) is available immediately via Symform reseller Partners worldwide.

The Symform Cooperative Storage Cloud works on the principle that each local computer contributes inexpensive local storage in exchange for valuable cloud-based storage. This data protection solution is 10 times cheaper and 10 times faster than traditional online storage solutions. Unfortunately, bandwidth availability constraints prevent some SMBs from fully participating in the Symform solution. That ends today.

Starting immediately, Symform is enabling its reseller Partners to sell their excess local storage to those customers who are unable to contribute. Partners, in effect, become micro data centers that are distributed around the world. The storage trading isnt done directly; instead one side is selling excess storage to the Symform cloud while the other is purchasing it as needed. This revolutionary approach will allow SMBs and their MSPs with bandwidth or other constraints to participate in the Cooperative Storage Cloud while allowing those customers who have excess capacity to monetize their infrastructure.

Symform turned the backup model upside down and created a game-changer for the industry, said Marc Ross CTO for IT Foresight. This creates an important new offering and revenue opportunity for MSPs with sufficient IT infrastructure. A key principle for IT Foresight has always been to find ways to bring enterprise class approaches and architectures to the SMB space via an affordable, secure and scalable solution or service mix. For the backup and recovery space, Symform makes this possible today!

Our reseller Partners and their SMB customers are the cloud so this is a natural and exciting next step in our evolution, said Kevin Brown, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Symform. MSPs can now monetize their IT infrastructure in a global marketplace like never before. They save money for their customers, facilitate a global, distributed storage system, and earn additional profits. Talk about making an MSP smile.

About the Symform Cooperative Storage Cloud(TM):

The Symform Cooperative Storage Cloud(TM) enables small businesses to implement a backup and disaster recovery solution that is more secure, ten times cheaper, and ten times faster than traditional online backup services. The company was founded on the realization that millions of small businesses have computers with an excess of inexpensive storage capacity, power running 24×7, and unlimited Internet bandwidth especially nights and weekends. The Symform team has developed software that aggregates this relatively unreliable and un-trusted capacity over the Internet and transforms it into a secure and reliable global storage system. The heart of Symforms software is a proprietary technology called RAID-96(TM).

GoGrid Enhances Partner Exchange Platform With New Image Rights Management Technology

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011

GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced its new Image Rights Management (IRM) technology, now available for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) participating in the companys partner exchange program. Enhancing the value GoGrids Exchange marketplace provides to ISVs, the company’s new IRM technology delivers an innovative license protection system that enables partners to safeguard their intellectual property and effectively monetize their existing software solutions using cloud-based subscription models.

Once a partner application is live in the GoGrid Exchange marketplace and available for GoGrid’s customers to deploy through value-added subscription plans, the IRM system automatically tracks instances where the application is actually running within the GoGrid cloud. The system then authenticates whether or not the application is operating on a validly deployed cloud server for which GoGrid is collecting the required subscription fees on behalf of the partner. If the proper authentication requirements are not met for an application in use, partners can protect their intellectual property and take appropriate actions such as shutting the application down, delivering a light version of the software, or instructing the customer to purchase a valid license from an external website.

“Architecting cloud computing infrastructure involves a variety of different technology solutions and our customers need a simple process to access, adopt and implement industry-leading applications for critical functions such as internet security, backup, monitoring, load balancing and compliance,” said Jeff Samuels, chief marketing officer, GoGrid. “The GoGrid Exchange featuring our IRM system brings new opportunities for software providers to expand their reach by connecting with our customer community in the GoGrid cloud. Enabling independent solutions providers to easily share and offer their existing software with licensing models that support the elasticity of a cloud environment is an important factor in driving cloud adoption and fueling industry innovation.”

The GoGrid Exchange A Cloud Solution Ecosystem

The GoGrid Exchange is a multi-dimensional marketplace of cloud solutions where Partner-created “golden server images” are sold, bought or shared across the GoGrid community. In the Exchange, solutions partners can sell or share GoGrid server images that are preinstalled and preconfigured with their software and documentation. In turn, GoGrid customers provision virtual machines based on any selected golden server image. These include GoGrid Server Images (GSIs), Partner GoGrid Server Images (PGSIs that partners have built) or Community GoGrid Server Images (CGSIs that community members have built). Customers purchase monthly subscriptions or simply use server images that are free. Customers can also share personalized GoGrid Server Images (MyGSIs) they create themselves for their own specific cloud usage.

Featuring its new IRM system, the GoGrid Exchange provides ISVs with a simple process for cloud-enabling their existing software applications while also protecting their intellectual property. With the GoGrid Exchange, customized Partner GSIs are listed in a catalog located on the GoGrid portal that customers can browse and select the value-added server images they want to include when provisioning their virtual machines. Because Partner GSIs can be provisioned in minutes, customers can drastically reduce the time it takes to get new applications and solutions up and running in the cloud. As a partner’s server image is deployed, the IRM system tracks where the application is running and authenticates whether or not it is operating on a valid server. If proper license authentication is not confirmed, the application can take appropriate actions such as shutting itself down as well as notify the vendor. GoGrid manages the Exchange payment process and provides customers with one monthly bill that includes GoGrid’s infrastructure fees and any additional Partner GSI fees. The collected value-added fees are then reimbursed to the partner on a quarterly basis.

In GoGrid’s environment, customers can also contribute their cloud expertise to the broader community. GoGrid encourages collaboration throughout the ecosystem and offers a new feature that allows customers to quickly and easily share the customized GoGrid Server Images they create. Customers simply customize a GoGrid Server Image with the applications, settings and tools they need and then access the sharing feature to make their images publicly available to the entire GoGrid community by one click of a button. Customers can use this feature, knows as Community GSIs, to quickly transfer images from one account to another, share unique images with office locations in other regions, increase adoption of open source code, save time by leveraging the work of other community members and stay on top of cutting edge applications and trends.

CloudPassage, Gazzang, Zeus Adopt GoGrid IRM

GoGrid today announced that three of its Exchange partners, CloudPassage, Gazzang and Zeus Technology, have adopted the GoGrid IRM system to authenticate the licensing rights for their cloud solutions available in the GoGrid Exchange.

CloudPassage is now offering its software-as-a-service security as a Partner GSI within the GoGrid cloud. With CloudPassage, GoGrid’s public and hybrid IaaS customers can manage their own cloud security by leveraging a single solution that is purpose-built for the cloud and delivers multiple layers of defense for cloud servers. CloudPassage and GoGrid joint customers benefit from greatly reduced attack surfaces, lower risk of compromise and improved compliance.

“As a SaaS provider, CloudPassage views the Image Rights Management technology as critical enabler of the cloud ecosystem. GoGrid recognized our need to protect licensed VMs and innovated around that need,” said Carson Sweet, co-founder and CEO of CloudPassage. “This has made it much faster and easier for us to pursue an even broader set of SaaS distribution and delivery channels.”

Gazzang is making its transparent data encryption solution for MySQL databases available on GoGrid as a Partner GSI. Gazzang ezNcrypt encrypts and protects data a rest for MySQL databases using industry-standard encryption algorithms and patent-pending advanced encryption key management. By joining the GoGrid Exchange, Gazzang helps GoGrid’s customers secure their data at rest to meet internal and regulated data security requirements. The solution is available as a GoGrid Partner GSI on Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS and Debian Linux distributions. Now GoGrid customers can select and launch Gazzang ezNcrypt server images with ease using the GoGrid console and within minutes have a MySQL server with encrypted databases using strong encryption and secure key management.

“Gazzang’s ezNcrypt as a GoGrid Server Image combines the security of data encryption at rest and key management with the ease of use of GoGrid to deliver a cost-effective security software as a service,” said Eddie Garcia, vice president of development. “Our GoGrid pre-configured images make it easy for anyone to deploy secured servers running transparent database encryption for MySQL. With GoGrid’s partner GSI and IRM technology, Gazzang will continue to expand its product line of GoGrid-enabled solutions.”

Also available on GoGrid, Zeus Technology has released its application traffic management software as a Partner GSI. With its participation in the GoGrid Exchange, Zeus provides GoGrid’s customers with access to its affordable and easily deployed load balancing technology, enabling them to deliver fast, secure and available web applications. The combination of Zeus and GoGrid allows customers to easily apply business rules to the behavior of their online applications within the GoGrid cloud. The Zeus software solution deploys with ju

Colorado Telehealth Network Signs Contract with GNAX Health to Provide Statewide Medical Image Archive and Exchange

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 26, 2012

The Colorado Telehealth Network (CTN) developed a program that will enable hospitals, imaging centers, clinics and other health care providers in Colorado to safely store and share medical images through a private cloud hosted and managed by GNAX Health on CTN. CTN and GNAX Health are working with the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO) and Quality Health Network (QHN)the two Colorado Health Information Exchangesto image-enable their physician portals so that images and diagnostic reports will be available through the HIEs. GNAX Health will also allow CTN to offer disaster recovery and business continuity solutions. In addition, electronic medical records (EMRs) can be integrated with the infrastructure to provide physicians a single interface for viewing all medical images, which is a requirement for Stage 2 Meaningful Use.

Nine CHA member hospitals worked with CTN over the past eight months to develop the imaging program with input from hospitals across Colorado. After a thorough RFI process and evaluation of five solutions, CTN selected a solution provided by GNAX Health through a strategic alliance with Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook. The unique requirements of the CTN program required a specific set of capabilities that is best addressed through this strategic alliance. Several use casessuch as the ability to search, retrieve and exchange medical image studies federated across CTN and view images quickly from the cloudled to this best-of-breed approach.

This pioneering agreement between CTN, GNAX, Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook further solidifies our network as a national leader in health information technology and connectivity, comments Ed Bostick, CTN Executive Director. We are confident this new image-storing service has the functionality and advantages our clients deserve, and promises to significantly enhance patient care coordination and quality across Colorado.

The solution combines Acuo’s Universal Clinical Platform (UCP) with Client Outlook’s eUnity clinical image visualization, sharing and collaboration toolset, hosted within GNAX’s health care-focused cloud infrastructure and tier-4 data centersall supported by a cohesive customer support program. This collective solution provides necessary components critical to building a statewide vendor neutral archive and, subsequently, a highly secure disaster recovery and business continuity solution for medical imaging without the infrastructure and costs associated with a traditional model.

GNAX Health is also providing a web-based image exchange service for CTN, called SDEX (Secure DICOM Exchange) that is integrated into the foundation of Acuo’s UCP and utilizes the Client Outlook viewer. It meets the challenge of complicated workflows by integrating with the provider’s employee and patient identification systems to securely access and simplify patient searches. Studies can be retrieved from any of the connected PACS, local edge devices or from the cloud archive, making the location of the image transparent to the end user in addition to reducing the total amount of storage required (because images do not have to be copied in all locations to be accessible).

This is a great example of a successful public-private partnership. This collaboration led to a unique strategic alliance that produces a solution unlike any others in the market, said Jeff Hinkle, chief executive officer for GNAX Health. “This offering tightly integrates world-class clinical content viewing, abstraction and life-cycle management applications, data migration, cloud-computing and customer support services into a single bundle, greatly simplifying the process of administering enterprise medical image access, exchange and management while reducing IT costs.”

“This consortium brings an innovative solution based on IHE standards to CTN,” noted Jeff Timbrook, chief executive officer for Acuo Technologies. “We’ve worked closely with GNAX and Client Outlook to develop an implementation approach that will save CTN significant time and effort.

The benefits of the program to Colorado health care providers and patients are numerous. Patients of participating providers should no longer be required to transport their own imaging studies via CD or film. Consequently, such patients should no longer undergo duplicate studies, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.

CTN leverages the reciprocal collaborative nature of the solution to make it affordable for all providers in Colorado. The services are available to all CTN members through flexible deployment models that fit each providers needs. The program is financially sustained through a subscription model based on the number of studies ingested and the amount of cloud storage required. Because the program is scaled across the entire state of Colorado, it provides cost savings for both large and small providers. The small hospitals receive an enterprise vendor-neutral archive and exchange solution at a fraction of the cost while gaining access to specialists at larger institutions for their patients. Large providers also benefit from the collaboration with critical access facilities because they can service patients they may not otherwise be able to as easily.

Two hospitals are expected to begin implementation this year, with several additional hospitals slated for 2013.

CTN, along with GNAX Health, Acuo Technologies and Client Outlook will summarize the journey to this strategic alliance-based solution during a presentation at RSNA 2012 in Chicago. RSNA attendees can see the presentation on Monday, November 26th at 10:30 a.m. in the South Hall Exhibitor Showcase Theatre, booth 4064.

XSolutions Introduces Hosted Exchange Services in Wake of Hurricane Sandy

Pomona, New York (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

XSolutions is extolling the value of Hosted Exchange Services as a key part of any companys Disaster Recovery Plan. Hurricane Sandy not only caused wide-spread power and internet outages, it rendered many business sites uninhabitable, causing managers and employees to work, as best they could, from other locations. However, the effects of the storm not only damaged buildings, but also shut down or damaged onsite servers. Therefore, even if employees had internet connections at alternate sites, they could not use their company email to communicate with each other or their clients.

Email is one of those services that we all take for granted, says Joseph Imperato Sr., Managing Partner at XSolutions. When it goes down, we all quickly find out how much we depend on this communication medium. Having a Hosted Exchange is a way to make sure that this vital communication link doesn’t go down with your location and equipment.

A hosted Exchange Solution runs a companys email servers in hardened data centers that are prepared to function during and after the worst of catastrophes. Since the email servers are located in the Cloud, they are not subject to the problems a companys physical location experiences during super storms like Sandy. Additionally, these hardened data centers have built-in redundancy and backup processes so it is very unlikely that they would go down for any length of time except to switch operations over to a new location if needed.

XSolutions offers Hosted Exchange Services to its customers for the above reasons. It is a turnkey process with XSolutions managing the solution from end-to-end. Any issues that may occur are taken care of by XSolutions so customers dont have to worry about their email ever again.

Hosted Exchange works seamlessly with a client’s onsite equipment configuration. Clients access their email in the normal way. The difference is that should the companys sites and servers become inoperable, email is still accessible from any other location with internet access.

XSolutions has recently reevaluated its data center partners to ensure that they meet its high standards for security, redundancy, and ability to operate seamlessly during and after catastrophic events, says Joseph Imperato Sr. We are confident that no matter what happens to a companys facilities and onsite IT equipment, they will be able to fully utilize their email to continue communicating with employees and clients. As Super Storm Sandy showed us, communication is vital to Disaster Recovery.
