ANN ARBOR, Mich.--BUSINESS WIRE--Michigan Multispecialty Physicians MMP, a specialty group of
surgical physicians, has selected Online Tech, a premier Midwest managed
data center provider, for colocation services and
offsite data storage and backup.
“Now the space used for the data center can be used for other productive
uses for the organization”
As companies grow, information technology departments are faced with the
challenge of growing their data centers with limited budgets and IT
resources. Eventually data center operators are faced with the decision
of upgrading their existing data centers, constructing a new data
center, or simply outsourcing to a managed data center provider. This
was the case for MMP.
“We were feeling the pains of a growing company and outstripping our
data center capacity. We were facing electrical, heating and cooling
issues as well as running out of physical space,” says Erik Yochum,
Director of Information Technology for MMP.
By outsourcing their data center to Online Tech, MMP has experienced an
ROI increase on internal IT resources and the added benefit of having
access to an experienced and professional support team. Yochum states
that their IT staff costs are reduced by eliminating overtime or off
hour compensation associated with supporting a data center 24/7. MMP can
also keep up with new technology without the additional hardware
investment.
“Now the space used for the data center can be used for other productive
uses for the organization,” notes Yochum.
By outsourcing to Online Tech, MMP upgraded to a Tier 3 data center with
fully redundant power, network infrastructure and adequate heating and
cooling. MMP chose Online Tech’s high availability power architecture
with no single point of failure in power delivery – assuring a high
level of server uptime. Online Tech also delivers HIPAA
compliant hosting with all of the physical and network security
features required to assure that a medical health organization can
comply with the HIPAA privacy requirements.
