September 27, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Managed hosting services provider GNi (http://www.gni.com) has been selected to provide disaster recovery co-location services and Internet transit services for Medical Consultants Network (MCN - http://www.mcn.com), it was announced yesterday. MCN provides “independent third-party medical exams for government agencies and insurance companies”.
MCN’s choice of GNi was based on a number of factors, including being located in an earthquake zone. The company decided to establish an off-site disaster recovery facility for their primary services. Located in the new 365 Main data center in Chandler, Arizona, USA, GNi’s on-site managed services team offered the “responsiveness and expertise” MCN required.
“GNi’s response for requested information was quick and efficient,” explained vice President of Information Systems at MCN, Mr. William Ellison. “They responded to all of our questions and concerns quickly and gracefully and offered us the solution we wanted. Currently we’re leasing a single power cabinet and Internet services; however, GNi made it easy for us to expand. And because they maintain on-site customer support, they can fix any problem immediately, which saves us time and the price of an airline ticket.”
GNi’s service combines multiple ISPs, redundancy, “burstable” support, fail-over, recovery and 24x7 customer support to maximize uptime, eliminate points of failure, and provide reliable service for mission-critical applications with a guarantee of 99.999% network availability. The company has “service level agreements” in 14 service locations across the United States, Europe and Asia.
MCN provides a comprehensive Medical Judgment Network in the United States with over 20,000 providers. The company provides a robust tool allowing real-time, secure Internet access for consultants and clients to review their case status. Services include administration and support, records delivery, transcription, quality assurance, provider history, provider network credentialing, and medical bill review.
