ISG Technology Announces New Data Center in Topeka

/in , , , /by

ISG Technology announced today a new Data Center facility being constructed in Topeka, KS.  The new 17,000 square foot building will house both a 10,000 square foot Data Center as well as ISGs local Topeka operations.  The Data Center will be the fourth in ISGs network of Data Centers and is scheduled to be online in early 2013.

The Data Center will offer businesses the ability to co-locate production systems, have off-site disaster recovery or the option of running their business systems in ISGs Cloud.  For those companies that require additional security, the new Data Center will be able to offer private cages and suites.  This provides an added layer of protection to business critical data.

Midwest businesses understand the importance of having an off-site solution for critical business data, states John Gunn, President of ISG Technology.  Whether it’s a fire, power outage or even a server failure, businesses can’t afford to be down. The addition of this Data Center will give businesses access to another state-of-the-art facility for their disaster recovery needs.

In addition to co-location and disaster recovery, the new Data Center in Topeka will be connected to ISG’s Cloud Services Data Center using high bandwidth connections.  With Cloud Services, a business can run specific applications or their entire business system on ISGs virtual server infrastructure.

This is one of the biggest shifts in the IT industry as businesses look to move away from managing and upgrading their own IT equipment so they can focus on running their business, states Gunn. ISG is a proven and trusted Data Center Services partner. While there are many companies announcing their intentions to provide Cloud Services, the Topeka Data Center is a continuance of ISGs nearly decade long commitment to the cloud. We’ve been managing our clients off-site business data for more than 10 years.

ISGs full suite of Data Center Services includes infrastructure as a service to host and manage a businesses complete IT environment, web and email hosting, data backup services, disaster recovery, collocation services and more.

ISGs new Data Center in Topeka will be an addition to their existing network of Data Center facilities.  Currently, ISG operates an underground Data Center in Columbia, Missouri, a Data Center in Wichita, Kansas and offers Data Center services at 1102 Grand in Kansas City.  The Data Centers will be connected by fiber, allowing for communication and DR capabilities between all facilities.

The Topeka data center represents our first major infrastructure investment in ISG that leverages ISGs existing expertise in cloud computing and managed services, added Ben Foster, Chief Executive Officer of ISG Technology & Twin Valley Communications.  ISGs ability to offer small & medium businesses the full spectrum of solutions ranging from complete off-site computing to premise-based solutions has been enhanced by our strategic relationship with Kansas Fiber Network and its partners.  For the first time, clients will be able to deal with one IT vendor for their bandwidth and equipment solutions.  As our clients continue to recognize the potential of the cloud on their business, we will continue to invest in the technology infrastructure that will give them an advantage in their markets.

Salina, KS; April 14, 2011:  ISG Technology announced today that the company has been selected as one of the Kansas and Missouri HITREC preferred partners, as selected by Associated Purchasing Services (APS).  ISG was named as a provider of Technology and Consulting Services.

The HITECH Act, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), provides funding for eligible hospitals and physician clinics to purchase technology that will allow them to move to Electronic Health Records (EHR).

EHR provides electronic access to a patient’s medical records, giving doctors the instant access they need to provide critical care, says John Gunn, President and CEO of ISG Technology.  We see an opportunity with EHR to improve the quality of care given by healthcare providers as well as reduce costs and improve efficiency.  ISG is proud to be a part of this exciting change.

In order to implement the HITECH Act, each state has created a Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center (HITREC).  These HITRECS act as an outreach to help eligible providers achieve and attest to meaningful use of their EHR systems. The HITRECs in Kansas and Missouri contracted with Associated Purchasing Services (APS) to vet vendors and service providers.

APS brings together the purchasing power of all its Participants, establishing contracts with vendors such as ISG who provide exceptional service, pricing and terms, Linda Gerber, Contracting Division Manager, said, For our Participants, it eliminates the labor involved with negotiating and managing individual contracts and helps to expedite and simplify the HIT purchasing phase.

APS selected preferred partners based on a number of different criteria, giving healthcare providers confidence in selecting their technology partner.  APS leverages resources to provide technology and services that would otherwise be unattainable for stand-alone healthcare organizations.
