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.
Five Quick Tips For Improving SQL Server Performance
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 at 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!
Electronic Medical Records Made Easy With Managed Hosting
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.
Electronic Medical Records in a Data Center Environment
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 Compliant Hosting and HITECH compliance and security requirements is expensive, time consuming, and difficult.
ITT Technical Institute Tours Data Center
We were contacted by the ITT Technical Institute to help turn theory into practice for one of their classes. We welcomed this opportunity to help educate the future Engineers of Central Florida.
We set up Daniel Poremba, Professor at the School of Information Technology, and his class of roughly twenty with Preston C, the Senior Linux Engineer at Atlantic.Net. Preston took the class on a tour of Atlantic.Net and explained the significance of each component from the fastest cloud Server to the industrial grade generator and UPS’s.
Atlantic.Net Sponsors Orlando’s 3rd Annual Walk-For-Wishes
I would like to thank our staff and our local community who pulled together to help support the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s 3rd annual “Walk-For- Wishes” at Lake Eola in Orlando Florida.
I woke up thinking that the weather was going to ruin this event, but I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful, usually unpredictable, Florida weather which contributed to a fantastic evening walk! Attendance for this event far surpassed my expectations and this truly was a fun-filled event! There were food, fun, games, and giveaways! The best surprise of all was a special appearance by the Orlando Predator cheerleaders who got the crowd involved in an impromptu show of football skills, something I couldn’t do in heels! Before the walk, 98.9 WMMO played the best hits of yesterday and today, and a tough competition of “Corn Hole” ensued! I am sure some of the folks took advantage of the FREE 10 minute massages by another sponsor!
HIMSS Conference- A fresh Prospective on Healthcare IT
With the passage of Healthcare Reform by Congress, there is a lot of talk about healthcare in the IT business community. Healthcare already accounts for about $2 trillion in federal spending each year; almost one out of every seven dollars spent in the U.S is related to healthcare. It looks as if billions more will be funneled into the healthcare IT segment, thanks to the new federal initiatives that require health care providers to maintain medical records electronically. This explains why almost every technology vendor out there is evaluating and exploring opportunities within the health care sector.
We sent Sam G. to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Expo (HIMSS) in Atlanta, Georgia earlier this month to do some investigating.

Server Disposal: How to Dispose of Old Computers and Servers
Several weeks ago it was decided across the board that I needed a fast computer for my daily activities here in our corporate office. I contacted our NOC, told them what I wanted and a few days later a shiny new desktop sat atop my desk. I took care of all of the necessary transfer of data and whatnots and politely asked the guys, “So what do you want me to do with this dinosaur? Toss it?” They looked at me like I had a third eye and quickly informed me that there are “proper” ways to dispose of your computer. Gently removing it from my death grip they carried it out of my office, never to be seen again.
Atlantic.Net and the Orlando Magic – A Winning Combination!
Earlier this year, Atlantic.Net announced a formal partnership with the Orlando Magic. Atlantic.Net became the official server host of the Orlando Magic, powering key IT infrastructure of the Orlando Magic. Everyone at Atlantic.Net was very excited and proud to be named the Official Server Host of the Orlando Magic and to protect their data in our world class data center facility.
The Excitement around town!
As you can imagine, all of Orlando is gearing up for the first home game of the Eastern Conference Finals. It seems like everywhere you turn around town, you see “Go Magic!” signs and Godzilla-sized banners of Hedo Turkoglu, Dwight Howard, and Rashard Lewis adorning the downtown skyscrapers.
Great Opportunities!
Thanks to the partnership, we were able to network with the international basketball players and had a lot of fun! As a proud partner of the Orlando Magic, we are often involved in special events with the organization. At one of the recent events, we had the opportunity to hangout and get to know our team during a fun filled night of casino games and shenanigans.
