BATON ROUGE, LA--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2014) - Venyu , a leader in business continuity , cloud-based virtualization , and battle-tested data recovery , today announced that Hendrix Orthodontics has adopted VenyuCloud to provision virtual servers, comply with HIPAA regulations and run its full suite of dental applications. The full case study can be viewed here .
Located in Kennett Square and West Grove, PA, Hendrix is a small, growing orthodontic practice facing many of the same Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) challenges associated with most large businesses. The company faced a choice: Undertake an expensive infrastructure upgrade -- likely to recur every five years -- or evolve into a more centralized, secure and HIPAA-compliant IT environment. Hendrix elected to transition approximately 50 PCs and three data servers from its unsupported Windows XP operating system into the cloud, in addition to hosting its company files, patient records, charts and x-rays.
"Based on everything I'd read, the global transition to a cloud-based environment is inevitable. Despite this, people kept telling me the complexities associated with my type of data made the cloud option impossible," said Dr. Jeff Hendrix, Hendrix Orthodontics. These fears were alleviated when Hendrix turned to VenyuCloud.
VenyuCloud enables secure and highly-available IT-as-a-Service (IaaS) to create a scalable and HIPAA-compliant outsourced infrastructure. The model lets companies like Hendrix pay only for the processing power consumed, all while leveraging the power of VMware virtualization, full redundancy and high-availability.
With the help of Venyu, the practice began moving all core data applications to the cloud, including documents and files, billing, video presentations -- as well as specific industry tools, such as: Carestream OrthoTrac Office, Dolphin Imaging and Aquarium, Ormco Insignia with Damon System, QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, and Invisalign.
"What's truly amazing is that storing and accessing x-rays and patient records to and from the cloud is seamless; taking only seconds no matter where we are. The infrastructure is much faster and more reliable than our previous in-house server solution," Hendrix noted.
Within several months, the practice fully consolidated multiple data servers into one cloud-based system and all workstations are now simple machines which require no maintenance. In addition, VenyuCloud delivers an elastic service so Hendrix can easily adjust the bandwidth and processing power to meet specific application requirements.
"VenyuCloud made it simple to manage what used to be a highly cumbersome process. In the past, I used to walk in circles across both offices to upgrade and reboot our PCs and servers. With Venyu, those problems are now obsolete," Hendrix concluded.
"Hendrix is a perfect example of how a small business can avoid the costly and repetitive process of upgrading IT hardware and software," said Scott Thompson, CEO, Venyu. "Leveraging the cloud for IT needs, companies can devote more time to concentrate on their core competencies by effectively and efficiently outsourcing their IT burden."
