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."
About the Egenera Solution
Egenera systems are highly available, flexible platforms that eliminate the
need to rigidly dedicate physical or virtual servers to applications.
Instead, Egenera's patented Processing Area Network (PAN) infrastructure
orchestration software automatically repurposes and reallocates virtual and
physical servers on demand, with high availability and full disaster
recovery.
Available on multiple hardware platforms including Egenera's own integrated
BladeFrame® system, PAN Manager software by Egenera is an infrastructure
orchestration solution leader in unifying virtual and physical
infrastructure management. Customers worldwide standardize on PAN Manager's
reliable virtualized architecture, which is based on industry standards and

improvement in the flexibility, agility and economics of IT infrastructure
through a reduction in data center complexity.
