Colocation Web Hosting Provider, Zogmo.com, Selected to Host Med DataLink
Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - October 19, 2007 - Server colocation and hosting services company, Zogmo.com, has completed the rewrite of Med DataLink's Patient Care System from its former web site. Zogmo is also providing Med DataLink with fully managed colocation services, local Internet and backup services.
Zogmo is also managing nearly all of Med DataLink's technology needs, as well as providing complete code development services. The entire process reportedly took nearly nine months as Zogmo worked with Med DataLink to completely revamp the old system by rewriting the code and overhauling the site's old processes. Med DataLink's old web hosting provider couldn't provide the performance the company needed, or the security to comply with the latest HIPPA requirements.
Linn Boyd, Vice President of Operations at Zogmo remarked, ''For companies like Med DataLink, their Web site may be the only opportunity that the organization has to make contact with its customers. We take very seriously our commitment to making certain our clients' systems are available when their customers need to access it.''
Med DataLink needed their applications to be co-located on servers in a highly secure facility. The servers are located in the same building as Med DataLink's offices, and also have redundant electric power, multiple load-balanced fiber-optic Internet service providers, and redundant real-time data backup systems.
Craig Schweitzer, Executive Director for Med DataLink added, ''The migration of our system and servers - which included a total redesign of our web site - to the Zogmo data center in Houston, went off without a single hitch. Obviously, we cannot afford a major downtime. From the redundant power systems, environmental controls, multiple ISP feeds to the redundant data storage and 24-hour data center support, they've got us covered. With the exception of scheduled server maintenance, we have had a 99.99 percent up time with Zogmo. They promised this before we started and they're still delivering it.''
Med DataLink provides provide HIPAA-compliant data management solutions for referring physicians/practitioners, rendering service providers, supervising clinicians and interpreting physicians. Med DataLink was formerly known as neurosentinel.com.
Recently, Zogmo entered into a contract to host Screen Imaging Technology's ScreenSeis and JavaSeis systems, in Zogmo's data center, located in downtown Houston. Zogmo is providing SITI with a datacenter infrastructure that provides capacity for 624 processor cores in a single rack. SITI provides 3-D wave, equation-based prestack time/depth imaging services and software for oil companies and other service providers, as well as seismic imaging services for oil/gas exploration and production companies. To be effective, the technology requires significant processing power from a cluster of servers.
Founded in 2005, Zogmo is a Houston, Texas-based Internet Service and Colocation Provider. The company offers an array of Fully Managed Hosting solutions, including its Z-Manage service. Z-Manage technicians monitor servers 24/7/365, install and configure server software, and autonomously deploy necessary security updates as they become available.
