Attendo to receive virtualised disk system from Proact
Proact, the biggest independent storage integrator in Europe is to supply a virtualised disk system to Attendo. Attendo is the largest company in the field of health and care services in the Nordic countries.
Proact is providing consultancy services to Attendo on its infrastructure and equipment acquisitions and the configuration of its EMC disk system. Attendo’s IT environment will be duplicated in addition to virtualisation. While implementing the virtualisation of its environment, Attendo has also replaced several of its other systems with a view to reinforcing the company’s internal policy, whereby many IT operations and services have been outsourced over time.
“Attendo has grown significantly, and acquisitions for each requirement have always been made quickly. It took time for us to see the big picture as we were working with a number of partners. We decided to begin reinforcing our internal policy, which involved us starting to manage several outsourced services ourselves,” says Esa Nurmio, IT specialist at Attendo.
Proact’s solution included mirrored EMC VNX disk systems as well as a VMware Horizon View environment with selected elements.
Attendo has more than 130 offices in Finland.
The company provides services such as care for the elderly, as well as mental health patients and the mentally impaired. Attendo’s services also include human resources and healthcare services as well as health services offered to municipalities. This is why a high level of data security must always be maintained for patient security.
“I chose Proact due to their outstanding technical expertise. I am responsible for server maintenance, networks and data security. Although I am very familiar with the technical side of the system environment, I want to use consultants whenever I need to. I need to understand the big picture and the strategies within the building, and resolving challenges in partnership with a technically strong consultant provides motivation.”
