Verizon Business initiates cloud services in India

November 29, 2009

http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/verizon-businessinitiates-cloud-services-in-india/377972/

In December 2008, when three major undersea cables faced problems, India’s internet and voice traffic slowed considerably. However, Verizon Business’s clients in India did not face problems as the company’s strategy of building a seven-way mesh infrastructure in the region paid-off, said Blair Crump, group president, Worldwide Sales. Verizon Business is a unit of Verizon Communications.

The company, says Crump, began deploying its mesh network following the Taiwan earthquake and now has 38 global mesh nodes, including 21 in the Asia-Pacific that extend from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and the US. Mesh networking envisages each node in the network acting as an independent router (whether connected to another or not) and allows continuous connections and reconfiguration around broken or blocked paths by “hopping” from node to node until the destination is reached.

It now is building on these strengths. “We see India as a very important country. That is why we are building the Europe India Gateway (EIG) submarine cable system,” Crump told Business Standard.

A consortium of 16 telecom companies, including Bharti Airtel, signed an agreement to construct the EIG cable system, a submarine cable that will span 15,000 kilometres from the UK to India, in May 2008. EIG is projected to be completed by the second half of 2010 and is expected to cost around $700 million and have a capacity of 3.84 terabits per second (1,000,000,000,000 bits per second).

The cable joins the list of planned cable projects that will connect Europe, the Middle East and India. The New Europe-Egypt cables include the Middle-East North Africa (MENA) cable, owned by Orascom and having a capacity of 5.76 Tbps; Hawk, owned by Reliance Flag (2.56 Tbps); TE North, owned by Telecom Egypt (10.24 Tbps); and IMEWE, owned by a consortium (3.84 Tbps).

“Undersea meshing creates additional paths to seamlessly re-route traffic in the event of multiple cable breaks or network disruptions. The meshing is made possible by installing communications equipment in network facility buildings linked to the submarine cables. With recent mesh deployments in Mumbai and Chennai, Marseille in France, and Singapore, coupled with an ultra long haul build throughout France, Verizon Business now can send critical customer traffic and business applications in any direction around the world,” said Crump.

Since receiving international and national long-distance licences (ILD/NLD licenCes) in India in January 2008, Verizon Business has “seen significant expansion in the Indian market”. Crump also says that with its cloud computing or Computing as a Service (CaaS) model, it is “helping companies refocus their IT strategies to better support their current and future business objectives”.

Verizon Introduces Telehealth Collaboration Services for Health Care Industry

New IT Consulting and Collaboration Services Help Physicians, Hospitals, Clinics and Insurers Consult Via Video

November 23, 2009

Time, distance and cost often hamper efforts to link patients with the right health care expert, causing further concern for those needing to consult with faraway doctors. Verizon is answering this need with new services for physicians, hospitals, clinics and insurers that enable providers to "see" patients through video consultations, as well as other collaboration services.

Verizon's portfolio, Telehealth Collaboration Services, enables health care providers to consult remotely with patients and other providers, offer continuing medical education and training to medical professionals, as well as help health care administrators avoid costly and time-consuming travel through the use of collaborative technology.

As part of its consultancy, Verizon Business IT professionals work with health care organizations to assess their collaboration readiness, as well as design, implement and provide ongoing support for a broad range of Web and audio conferencing services, and video capabilities from desktop Web cams to high-definition and immersive video. Verizon's telehealth solutions are tailored to each health care setting to deliver security, performance and reliability.

Telehealth is well-suited to helping health care organizations expand access to specialist services, such as mental health, cardiology and critical care experts - especially for patients and physicians in rural and remote areas. It can also enhance remote patient monitoring with near real-time access to patient medical information, enabling more frequent and rapid interventions.

"Health care providers increasingly are tapping the power of IT, and our telehealth solutions offer an effective way to meet a wide range of challenges, including the expansion of access to care, speeding diagnoses and driving efficiency," said Rajeev Kapoor, global managing director - Verizon Connected Healthcare. "These new IT capabilities will help hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices modernize the delivery of health care - a critical need throughout the U.S. health care system today."

According to experts, use of telehealth services is on the rise in North America. Datamonitor, a leading provider of online database and analysis services, forecasts that annual spending on telehealth hardware, software and related services will nearly triple over the next three years, from the current $2.4 billion to $6.1 billion in 2012(1).

Verizon Connected Healthcare Solutions

Verizon has broad experience supporting the health care industry, providing services to more than 17,000 enterprise customers in the health care ecosystem. More than 90 percent of Fortune 1000 health care companies rely on Verizon's IT solutions. The new portfolio of Verizon telehealth services is offered through Verizon Connected Healthcare Solutions, the company's practice group that is helping transform the delivery of patient care, better manage costs, enhance access to services, and provide data privacy.

Dell unveils MCC offering

In this World Wide Wrap: Dell unveils MCC offering, Verizon intros tele-health collaboration services, and Panasonic offers computing incentive.

November 26, 2009

Dell unveils MCC offering

Dell is moving quickly to expand its services capabilities in the wake of its $3.9 billion purchase of Perot Systems, rolling out a healthcare solution designed to make it easier for hospital personnel to quickly access patient medical records, reports eWeek.

Dell is introducing its MCC (medical clinical computing) offering, a virtualised desktop environment that gives healthcare professionals access to patient information and applications from any device in the hospital.

The goal of the offering is to lessen the amount of time these professionals spend trying to find that right device that has the data they are looking for. Instead, doctors and other healthcare workers can get onto any device, including desktops, laptops, handheld devices and thin clients, and access the centrally stored information and applications.

Verizon intros tele-health collaboration services

Verizon has introduced a portfolio of tele-health collaboration services which enable healthcare providers to consult remotely with patients and other providers and also brings medical education and training to medical professionals, says TMCnet.

It enables healthcare administrators to avoid travel by using collaboration technology. Most often, time, distance and cost prevent patients from linking to the right healthcare expert, especially in cases where patients have to consult with doctors situated at far off places.

Verizon's Telehealth Collaboration Services will enable providers to actually see patients through video consultations and collaborations services. This is useful for physicians, hospitals, clinics and insurers, say company sources.

Panasonic offers computing incentive

Panasonic Computer Solutions, manufacturer of the Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers, has unveiled an incentive programme allowing healthcare organisations to trade-in mobile clinical assistant (MCA) devices that are not meeting their needs for $1 000 off the purchase of a new Panasonic Toughbook H1 MCA, states NewsBlaze.

"Think of this as a 'Cash for Clunkers' programme designed for the mobile healthcare technology market," says Greg Davidson, healthcare senior business development manager, Panasonic Computer Solutions Company.

"Healthcare organisations are excited about MCA technology, but have told us they are disappointed with some of the initial products because they did not meet the needs of the market from an ergonomics and durability standpoint.”
