Egenera Ensures One Call Medical Data Center Is Always On

PAN Manager Software Delivers High Availability While Reducing Data Center Footprint


MARLBORO, MA--(Marketwire - January 27, 2009) - Egenera, Inc. today announced that One Call Medical (OCM), the leading specialized Preferred Provider Organization, has implemented the Egenera® solution to ensure high availability for immediate access to critical patient data residing in Oracle databases. PAN Manager® software by Egenera allows One Call Medical to quickly provision new servers and manage all data center resources through a single easy to use tool.

Headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey, OCM is consolidating its legacy systems to create a more cost-efficient, highly-available infrastructure that supports expanding data loads and traffic. PAN Manager's built-in redundancy allows OCM to pre-configure and store a full system and deploy a new server on-the-fly to meet evolving business requirements.

"Our legacy systems were over-subscribed, which caused us to purchase additional servers," said Jim Sullivan, Director of Network Operations at One Call Medical. "With PAN Manager, we have adopted a utility computing approach and can now re-allocate existing servers. The Egenera solutions helped us reduce the number of physical servers from 65 to 24."
