CN Partners chooses Interxion�s Secure Data Service backup solutionMedical industry requires privacy and availability of patients� dataAmsterdam, July 12, 2005�Interxion, the leading provider of carrier-neutral data centre and managed services in Europe, today announced that it has been selected to supply a managed online backup and restore solution Secure Data Service to CN Partners Automatisering B.V., a Hilversum, Netherlands, based IT services provider to the medical industry. Secure Data Service guarantees CN Partners high level of security, efficiency and availability required by this heavily regulated industry. Since 1979 CN Partners supply hardware, specialised software solutions and managed IT services to the medical industry. Currently more than 350 GP practices in the Netherlands are using CN Partners� software and services. In this market, where the privacy of patients� information is extremely important, CN Partners is required to meet strict data privacy standards. CN Partners have chosen Secure Data Service (SDS) - Interxion�s online backup and restore service - that creates fast, successful backups and ensures data is instantly available. Backups are carried out in real-time over the Internet to a highly secure vault at Interxion�s data centre with 128-bit encryption ensuring complete confidentiality of the patient�s data. SDS features delta blocking and common file elimination technologies allowing incremental backups to be completed in a short backup window whilst minimimising bandwidth requirements. Cees Kreuning, Managing Director, CN Partners, said: �Our customers require an efficient and intelligent backup solution that would enhance the safety and availability of patients data and meet our regulatory requirements. They want to minimise the effort and time taken to complete the backups and pay only for the amount of services they actually used without having to invest in hardware or software upfront.� �With over 50 percent of tape based data restores failing due to media degradation and process glitches customers cannot always be sure that their data will be available. In addition it is inconvenient to change tapes and risky to take them home every day as is common practice. The SDS online backup service from Interxion is simple to use, and ensures that the backup and restore process runs smoothly allowing our customers to concentrate on their core business,� concluded Cees Kreuning. �In the medical industry it is critical that patient data is backed up safely and efficiently. We are very proud that after careful evaluation and rigorous testing CN Partners have chosen Secure Data Service as their managed backup and restore solution,� said Anthony Foy, Group Managing Director, Interxion. - Ends - About Interxion: For more information see www.interxion.com Press contacts: Ali Moinuddin |
