The NHS has placed technology at the heart of its strategy since the 1970s and one organisation has uniquely provided an unprecedented level of support, spanning over two decades, for the technological dynamics of what is now the National Program for IT. Celebrating its 25th year of business, CSA Waverley is considered to be a trusted driving force behind provision of hardware and system migration supporting Connecting for Health and the NHS’s most robust system, called NHAIS. The infrastructure provider has delivered over 2000 migrations Nationwide. The client Department of Health agency, NHS Connecting for Health, is responsible for implementing new...

The new technology is reported to offer encryption three times more secure than alternatives. Since NHS chief executive, David Nicholson, mandated encryption technology as a default data security mechanism across all public authorities, CSA Waverley has analysed the market to find a solution. With hardware drive and software encryption technologies both having their flaws, CSA Waverley has unearthed a third mechanism that is receiving quality feedback throughout the US and Europe. The business has partnered with DISUK to bring this technology to the NHS and public sector organisations. ...

The company aims to help NHS organisations realise more efficient delivery of services by speeding up understanding and deployment of virtualisation. The move follows a survey that found 70% of IT managers understand virtualisation yet nearly 60% said they haven’t tried or implemented it. The company sites a lack of practical understanding and hands on experience versas theory as well as departmental budget constraints as the main barriers to adoption. Jon Leary, a CSA Waverley Consultant, said: “The business benefits of virtualisation are well documented, from reducing power...

The company believes this grass roots approach is perceived to offer considerable savings but only if the encryption level is delivered appropriately and there is widespread communication of overcoming further dangers, such as virus risk, associated with using USBs. The company has seen sales of these encrypted devices rocket in the later half of 2008 and expects the trend to continue well into 2009 as public health organisations are ordering tens of thousands of devices at a time. The trend is supported by research from IT reseller Probrand that shows encrypted pen drive sales were up 10% for th...

The design of the cluster is critical to avoid single points of failure – the resilience of the cluster is only as strong as the ‘weakest link’. The closer the designer wishes to get to the “five 9’s” (99.999% uptime), the more numerous and expensive the components. New technology does make clustering a reality, but at what cost? If the objective of the designer is to gain application availability, then a more effective and efficient solution can be built using the techniques of virtualisation. The functionality of products like VMware protect from server failure. The management element, VirtualCenter, constantly monitors server hardware performance and availability. In ef...

Compliance and disaster recovery are firmly at the top of the boardroom agenda as public sector, and in particular NHS organisations, face the challenge of managing and protecting ever increasing amounts of critical data. This is dictating that organisations have to work more efficiently and effectively in the area of data protection. The partnership will see CSA Waverley’s acute understanding of NHS challenges and i365’s expertise in data protection and retention management, help the NHS address the complexity of data growth and the demands of regulatory comp...

This imperative, combined with growing demands to tackle disaster recovery and security more effectively - not least in light of the seemingly endless stream of data breach stories hitting the headlines lately - means that the pressure is now on to sort these key issues out despite progressively limited budgets. But for once, there is a straightforward way to kill all of these birds with a single stone. Rising numbers of organisations are recognising that backing up their valuable corporate data on tape is no longer adequate and instead are turning to disk-to-disk backup as the answer to their prayers. As a result, uptake of this tried a... CSA Waverley info http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1820832 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:09:49 +0100 1820832
