As a marketer, I am constantly working with blogs, promotional content and white papers. There are always words and phrases that are either new to me or cause confusion due to the existence of variations of the same word. This goes for one of the words I use on a regular basis, and it is even more important since it is actually a service we provide. Server Colocation is the culprit that keeps my editors and word processing software hard at work. My word processor sometimes turns colocation into all sorts of other words. Even as I write this, my program is confused. One would think it would be a simple fix of adding the word to the software’s dictionary, and it is, but only until it is time to edit the document.
This is nothing new. I am used to this, and on many occasions spell check, copy editors and others question and challenge my spelling of Colocation.
Microsoft Word often decides to change colocation to collocation without my consent and without even asking me what was intended. Fed up and tired of my editors and word processing software, I turned to Google. Ah, yes, good ol’ Google. I feverishly Googled “Colocation, Collocation, Co-location”, and to my surprise the first result was a blog by Sune Christensen entitled Co-location? Colocation? Collocation? (At least I’m not the only one with this problem!) Statistically speaking, Atlantic.Net uses the correct term, but I wanted to break it down even further and get to the meaning instead of statistics.
So, after much effort… I unveil my findings! Read the rest of this entry »

Virtualization has created new possibilities and opportunities for the health care segment of technology. Health care IT Professionals specializing in virtualization technologies are now finding more attractive and lucrative opportunities, especially with the new Health Care Reform and health care IT initiatives introduced by the new Administration.
Virtualization is the technology behind cloud computing and it makes such a pool of network resources a genuine possibility.
Managed Server Hosting:
Managed server hosting is a phrase used to describe the way a hosting plan is designed to function. Managed hosting is the better way to host your critical infrastructure, providing high security and fully redundant backup power supplies, 24/7 monitoring and access, round the clock engineers and much more. Managed hosting revolutionized the way organizations established their working presence on the Internet which enabled them to conduct commerce online. Managed hosting handled by the Service Provider is ideal for organizations that don’t have the time, resources or operational expertise to handle server operations, applications and upkeep of their key infrastructure. Organizations that have a need for dedicated resources generally choose the managed server hosting option.
Dedicated Virtualization and the Structure of a Private Cloud:
Private cloud technologies have revolutionized the way the Internet accesses information over the Internet. Using VMware, Xen or Hyper-V, a private network is set up with an operating system that uses very little system resources.
This creates the possibility to include more than one virtual server on one physical hardware server. It creates a more efficient usage of system resources and delivers content faster than other dedicated server solutions. It’s all a matter of receiving as many resources as you need. Server A might only need one core and 3 GB of RAM to function properly, while server B might need a custom-tailored cloud hosting solution. Read the rest of this entry »

Database servers are a cornerstone of modern businesses ranging from Google to 7-Eleven. When you run your credit card at a convenience or grocery store, your purchase is registered into a point of sale system backed by a database. Your credit card company registers the funds transfer into a database server containing your financial records. If you use a discount card, yet another database server comes into play. Databases enable businesses to track inventory, perform margin analysis, automate purchases, and identify customer trends—and to do all of this much more quickly and efficiently than ever before!
It has been a long time since I visited any business that did not rely on some type of database server, if only to track purchases and expenses. But I constantly communicate with businesses that lack a plan to ensure these databases function properly on an ongoing basis.
Hosting database servers at the Atlantic.Net data center helps your database remain a vital component of your business infrastructure, rather than a time-wasting black hole for IT resources.
We recently sat down with our engineering team to provide you a few tips on how we help accomplish just that: Read the rest of this entry »

The complexity of our health care system has grown over the years making it more difficult for practitioners to stay informed about their patients health histories. Electronic Medical Records will help solve this problem. This method reduces the amount of paperwork involved in the process; while at the same time increasing access to these records by making them available electronically. EMR/EHR systems enable the practitioner to view a patient’s complete health event summary, historical reports and previous treatment records. This has resulted in an enormous gain in productivity in practices staffed with multiple physicians. The advantages are also evident in regard to patients with multiple aliments and in emergency medical situations.
With the adoption of EMR/EHR there is still plenty of room to increase operational efficiency, cost savings and productivity gains. Electronic Medical Records are gaining in popularity because of the paperless approach. At the same time this creates an effective demand for data centers to host such records in secure facilities. Secure facilities are a must due to the highly sensitive nature of the data being hosted combined with the fact that strict security procedures and practices must be maintained.
EMR can be handled in a variety of ways; some of the common methodologies are: Read the rest of this entry »

Physicians today are faced with many obstacles due to recent regulations created by Health Care Reform. Some practitioners are asking themselves, “How do I provide outstanding quality health care in the face of an increasingly complex regulatory system? Where am I going to find the time and resources to implement an EMR system?” Many doctors are in the precarious position of having to manage and troubleshoot complex IT, EMR and billing systems. Keeping up to date with the latest HIPAA and HITECH compliance and security requirements is expensive, time consuming, and difficult.
Atlantic.Net believes that the business of health care exists to facilitate the practice of good medicine. Efforts should be focused on and directed towards healing the sick, not managing their IT infrastructure. As physicians in the community become tasked with the technical aspect of running their practices, they are focusing less on healing the sick. With more resources becoming available to practitioners, however, the opportunities for their practice’s growth is increasing exponentially. With an increase in patients and a decreased interest in managing their data, many are considering outsourcing their EMR and other IT strategies to Service Providers in order to shift focus back onto the patient.

Cloud computing has been steadily gaining momentum in contending with the managed server and dedicated server markets. For some, there are serious advantages to cloud computing. For others, there are major reservations, but this is understandable since cloud computing is still in its early phases of deployment. For early adopters of cloud computing, there are various platform options available but a lot of confusion and hype involved as well. One has to diligently do their homework when evaluating options. When Atlantic.Net sponsored the Annual Web2.0 conference this year in San Francisco, cloud computing was the topic of conversation among many attendees. Believe it or not, there were almost eight cloud hosting service providers in attendance as well as all the major server colocation and managed server hosting providers and all were showcasing their latest cloud offerings. Even though Atlantic.Net is still beta-testing our cloud product, we are confident that our cloud will outperform and outlast most available cloud products. Read the rest of this entry »

CenturyLink acquiring Qwest is surprising news for the IT and Telecom Industries. For the longest time, I thought Sprint would be a good fit to merge with Qwest but I guess I was wrong!
CentruyLink surprised us all last year when they acquired Embarq, and now Qwest? Although it eliminates consumer choices in some areas, it also makes a strong statement about a smaller company taking over one of the larger conglomerates, a statement that I personally like!

Atlantic.Net has teamed up with the ITEC Conference series as a silver sponsor, to their Charlotte and Miami events and we were invited to attend their marquee event in April. The Blade Systems Insight’s 4th Annual Summit was held at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida on April 18-20, 2010.
I found this event quite unique and informative with many informative seasons about blade server technology. The emphasis this year was on cloud computing, reducing organizations existing server footprints, and streamlining operations while increasing efficiencies and productivity.

9:30 – Wall Street Plaza -
It was a beautiful day in Orlando, with temperatures in the high 70’s and not a cloud in sight! Atlantic.Net, a two-time sponsor, was out in full force to mingle with industry professionals at BarCamp Orlando 2010! I arrived, bright and early, to sign Josh W. up for his very first presentation on Clustered Hosting. This year’s event was hopping with programmers, developers, entrepreneurs, and inventors who were more than eager to share their knowledge and ideas!
This being my first BarCamp, I was a little overwhelmed by the rush of people who jumped at the presentation board. I squeezed myself in, to politely sneak up to the board, and select our speaking time slot and topic. Luckily, I was able to secure our spot on the board, 2:00 – Clustered Hosting by Josh W. of Atlantic.Net! Not too shabby for an old gal.
