Beyond the Data Center: Emerson Network Power Survey Reveals Top IT Concerns Inside Hospitals in North America

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) November 3, 2010

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity, today announced results of its 2010 survey on IT and facility issues inside the hospital. The survey results, which include responses from North America-based professionals in IT management/IT operations, data center management and facilities management, reported budget, power requirements and availability as top concerns.

Other notable results from the survey included:

More than half of respondents upgraded their healthcare facility’s power and cooling infrastructure when implementing new technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)/network communications and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), showing a correlation between the importance of power and cooling infrastructure and the reliance on IT systems.
More than one-half of patient rooms are not supported by any uninterruptible power source, and just 28 percent of operating rooms have emergency power receptacles serviced through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This lack of protection makes critical patient data vulnerable to downtime as there is no ride-through until the hospital’s emergency generators can assume the critical load.
Thirty-two percent of those surveyed had experienced unplanned downtime of their IT systems while 29 percent responded that their data centers did not deploy redundant power systems or didn’t know what type of distribution strategy was being used. This suggests that, despite an increased reliance on IT, there is a need for increasing awareness of infrastructure technologies and strategies.
Despite the recession, 60 percent indicated they plan to add more server and storage capacity in their hospital data centers in the next 24 months, while more than half are planning to update or expand IT infrastructure within an existing hospital. Twenty-seven percent plan to expand the existing hospital, while 15 percent plan to build a new facility.
Regarding cloud computing in the healthcare setting, web servers and web-based applications have the second highest cloud adoption rate at 49 percent (13 percent is specified as internal cloud), among respondents, and 50 percent of respondents plan to implement disaster recovery/backup-as-a-service on an internal or external cloud. Forty-nine percent of respondents mentioned a concern with security and cloud computing.

Quotes attributable to Jeff Sturgeon, vice president of marketing and solutions, Emerson Network Power’s Liebert products business in North America:

“With shrinking IT budgets and rising demand for computing capacity, it’s not surprising that healthcare IT and facilities professionals cited budget, power requirements and availability as top concerns inside the hospital.”
“Although it is a relief to know that those in the healthcare industry recognize the relationship between power and cooling infrastructure and IT system availability, the lack of hospital-wide power protection in the OR and patient rooms is concerning.”
“Patient records in the data center may remain available and protected during a utility outage, but without extending protection into the hospital, medical personnel will not have access to vital data while hospital-based IT devices are temporarily down.”

AltDrive Expands Secure Online Backup Service to Home and Businesses for all of North America

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

AltDrive Secure Online File Backup Service is expanding its offering to the home users and general business communities throughout North America. Inexpensive and simple to setup, AltDrive provides unlimited remote file backup so that recovery is achievable after a disaster. AltDrive’s key competitors are Carbonite, Mozy and Backblaze.

Most people and businesses do not back up their important data regularly or at all. They do not have the time, or its too expensive or complicated. But it happens – mistakes, computer viruses, negligence, fire, theft, hardware problems – when files are lost, often they cannot be recovered. With individuals that can mean loss of important documents or priceless photos and videos. For a business, that can mean loss of everything.

AltDrive addresses these backup concerns with a superb and inexpensive offering with many critical design and business features:

Secure Versioned Online Backup service for Home and Business.

Free, unlimited size backup, 60-day trial – no credit card required.

Provides unlimited remote storage for just $ 3.71 per month for Home customers.

An inexpensive utility style plan is offered for businesses on a budget.

The customer software is dummy-proof and easy to signup, install and administer using wizards.

Low use of computer system resources – usually less than 1% of system memory and CPU.

Does not slow computer usage.

The service automatically backs up all important files to a secure remote location.

Subsequent backups send only changes and are fast.

Files are compressed and then encrypted with a high strength cipher before their transmission to AltDrive.

Customers can control their encryption key preventing file access to even AltDrive personnel.

Default or highly defined backup sets allow for backing up exactly what you want.

Restores files easily and starts immediately, even to another computer.

Works efficiently on 32 and 64-bit Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and Solaris.

Efficient hybrid file system scan – deep checks weekly.

End-to-end data integrity checking for high recovery assurance.

Business customers can customize data retention policy.

Custom branded white-label offering for resellers such as IT professionals and co-location providers.

A generous referral program is provided for those who promote AltDrive.

Encrypted data stored in secure facility with redundant power, HVAC systems outside Seattle core liquefaction zone and constructed to seismic level 3.

The remote server facility utilizes a blended multiple provider network for increased reliability and throughput.

Ability to determine a lost or stolen computers general location and other information to assist in recovery.

AltDrive was designed for the paranoid. It uses a super strong AES-256 CTR mode data encryption cipher with a private key so that even AltDrive personnel cannot view customer’s files – a must for savvy businesses. For convenience, home users can elect to have AltDrive manage the encryption key.

The AltDrive service provides data de-duplication for improved backup efficiency. Some people just can’t help it – they have multiple copies of documents, music, and photos on their machines. AltDrive finds these duplicates and does not back them up, instead making a record to refer to original at restore time. This feature makes backups significantly faster.

About AltDrive

Established in 2005, founded by a serial entrepreneur with security, scalability, and usability backgrounds, and located in Seattle, AltDrive’s mission is to ensure that all computer data is securely backed up and versioned.
