Jackson Clinic Maintains Healthy Business Operations With Vision Solutions' EchoStream for AIX
Continuous Data Protection Sustains Multi-Specialty Medical Group's Electronic Medical Record Systems and More

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - April 16, 2009) - Vision Solutions, a leading high availability
and disaster recovery
solutions provider in IBM Power Systems markets, announces The Jackson
Clinic relies on EchoStream for AIX to maintain healthy business operations
for its nine medical clinics throughout western Tennessee.
"We needed a replication solution that easily and reliably backed up our
data to a second IBM System p server," said William Butler, Jackson
Clinic's system and MIMIX administrator. "We chose EchoStream for AIX
because of its advanced continuous data protection functionality that
allows us to go back in time to recover lost or corrupted data."
About six years ago, the clinic went completely paperless to digitally
store all medical records, X-rays, patient charts, MRIs and appointments.
The medical practice's paperless environment involves highly sensitive data
and time-critical communications, accentuating the importance of a reliable
data protection solution. Any interruption or loss of important data -- or
access to applications -- could be a life or death challenge for the
clinic. The Jackson Clinic now has continuous data protection (CDP) which
provides the widest range of recovery points for restoring data. If data is
lost accidentally or maliciously, they can now return to the exact point
before the loss, achieving easy, instant recovery.
Comprised of more than 100 physicians and specialists, the medical practice
also uses EchoStream to comply with HIPAA requirements for data protection
and availability. According to Butler, one of the most important benefits
of Vision Solutions' technology is the high confidence level in knowing
critical data is always protected and always available. Plus, with
EchoStream's flexible, user-controlled options, the clinic now has the
capability to reverse all data issues back to any point in time (down to
the second) within the prior 24 hours.
Vision Solutions' EchoStream ensures the practice
management and electronic medical record systems are available at all
times. When load-intensive reporting needs to be completed, Butler uses
EchoStream's "TimeView" feature to easily perform the task on the remote
backup machine. TimeView allows the user to create a virtual yet fully
functional read/write copy of the data on the target system. Using this
TimeView copy for reporting, testing and other operations, Butler conserves
resources on the production server and does not disrupt the ongoing
replication between the servers.
"With EchoStream for AIX protecting our business, we have the confidence
for out-of-the-box thinking," adds Butler. "If we can dream it, we can do
it."

replication in AIX environments using EchoStream technology. Please click
