A common situation that exists is the great majority of these integrators do not work with MEDITECH, and that often creates a hole in the hospital's infrastructure upgrade plans.&nbsp;</p> <p>New Age Technologies specializes in MEDITECH migrations and Data Protection services. We don't sell servers or storage hardware, so there is no conflict with the existing systems integrator. We frequently partner with companies that sell the hardware components, and even the delivery services for the non-MEDITECH portion of the project, and we work with their team to enable them to deliver the complete solution.&nbsp;</p> <p>We focus on successfully moving MEDITECH systems to a virtual platform as well as the design and implementation of the storage and backup solutions for MEDITECH. Our delivery methodology is structured to incorporate a high degree of quality control and communications to the users who are impacted by the migration to minimize their downtime.</p> <p>If you are a systems integrator or an organization that needs MEDITECH migration services, we can help.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p> <p><a href="http://newatblog.com/happy-with-your-systems-integrator-but-need-t">Permalink</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~4/mT9-EmV7P9g" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/217845/mugshot.jpg http://posterous.com/users/1gxbv3KOPaF Shannon Snowden shannonsnowden Shannon Snowden http://newatblog.com/happy-with-your-systems-integrator-but-need-t Wed, 18 May 2011 07:09:00 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~3/_RrGVhDfT6c/that-didnt-take-long-microsoft-changes-positi http://newatblog.com/that-didnt-take-long-microsoft-changes-positi <p> <p>I had a follow-up <a href="http://searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com/news/2240035847/Microsoft-changes-tune-on-Exchange-2010-VMware-HA-support" target="_blank">conversation with&nbsp;</a><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><a href="http://searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com/news/2240035847/Microsoft-changes-tune-on-Exchange-2010-VMware-HA-support" target="_blank">Beth Pariseau at SearchServerVirtualization.com</a> on the quick change of position from Microsoft about the VMware HA support.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Bull-fighting-01" height="370" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2011-05-18/fenrvIgFEFfbuHvjqyCvDDefdhyqtzrJwJdqvrGqDCrepxBmJEuEwzkBqpEu/bull-fighting-01.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /> </div> <br /></span></p> </p> <p><a href="http://newatblog.com/that-didnt-take-long-microsoft-changes-positi">Permalink</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~4/_RrGVhDfT6c" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/217845/mugshot.jpg http://posterous.com/users/1gxbv3KOPaF Shannon Snowden shannonsnowden Shannon Snowden http://newatblog.com/that-didnt-take-long-microsoft-changes-positi Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:42:42 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~3/WumHzFZGiOY/vmware-desktop-certifications-and-fasttrack-c http://newatblog.com/vmware-desktop-certifications-and-fasttrack-c <p> <div><div style=""><p>The new VMware Desktop certification is intended to identify individuals with the capabilities and experience needed to move software applications from traditional desktops to virtual desktops. So far, one certification, the VMware Associate 4 - Desktop is currently offered and VMware recommends taking the VMware View Install Configure Manage course to prepare, which is certainly a great course for those, who are experienced with vSphere, but not with VMware View. For a more advanced look into VMware View, especially for anyone who may be interested in seeking further VMware Desktop Certifications (the soon to be release VCP - Desktop and VCAP - Desktop), I recommend taking the new VMware Desktop FastTrack class which combines contents from the following three classes into one: - VMware View:Install, Configure, Manage<br />- Application Virtualization with VMware ThinApp<br />- VMware View: Design Best Practices</p><p>The VMware View Desktop - FastTrack class is a 5 day, 10 hour per day class, which New Age Technologies is currently offering in Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, and Nashville.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Additionally, VMware now offers FastTrack classes for vSphere. &nbsp;The vSphere Advanced FastTrack class combines two advanced classes, the vSphere Troubleshooting and vSphere Manage for Performance classes. &nbsp;The vSphere Automation class combines PowerCLI class with vSphere Install Configure Manage class. &nbsp;These are the best classes to take to prepare for the new VCAP-DCA exam.</span></p><p>Here is a link to our schedule: <a href="http://www.newat.com/training_schedule/">http://www.newat.com/training_schedule/</a></p><p>Here is a link to VMware Certification portal: <a href="http://mylearn.vmware.com/portals/certification/">http://mylearn.vmware.com/portals/certification/</a></p></div></div><div><div><div>--&nbsp;</div><p /></div></div> </p> <p><a href="http://newatblog.com/vmware-desktop-certifications-and-fasttrack-c">Permalink</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~4/WumHzFZGiOY" height="1" width="1"/> http://newatblog.com/vmware-desktop-certifications-and-fasttrack-c Fri, 18 Mar 2011 06:19:00 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~3/cN1hyDEdLW8/discussing-microsoft-exchange-dags-and-vmware http://newatblog.com/discussing-microsoft-exchange-dags-and-vmware <p> <p>I had a chance to talk with&nbsp;<span style="font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Beth Pariseau</span>&nbsp;at Searchservervirtualization.com this week about the ping pong match between Microsoft and VMware about Exchange DAG and VMware App HA.

From our practical experience in the field, there are two schools of thought at the decision-maker's level that are quite common. Many companies see XenServer as part of the XenApp/XenDesktop stack while others want to keep only one hypervisor, and it's vSphere. </p><p>- Shannon</p></div> </p> <p><a href="http://newatblog.com/xenapp-xendesktop-drive-xenserver-growth-podc">Permalink</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~4/WwJmHrxjDYQ" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/217845/mugshot.jpg http://posterous.com/users/1gxbv3KOPaF Shannon Snowden shannonsnowden Shannon Snowden http://newatblog.com/xenapp-xendesktop-drive-xenserver-growth-podc Mon, 20 Sep 2010 12:57:00 -0700 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NewAgeTechnologiesTeamBlog/~3/igCUuso-Iqs/muse-international-newsletter http://newatblog.com/muse-international-newsletter <p> <div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/newagetechpcs/obeIrgmkrzgcnGCGyniavdsrGpahcsuDhAfqvalcowDooDDbevengskpvADq/media_httpihconstantc_izdAp.gif.scaled1000.gif"><img alt="Media_httpihconstantc_izdap" height="108" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/newagetechpcs/obeIrgmkrzgcnGCGyniavdsrGpahcsuDhAfqvalcowDooDDbevengskpvADq/media_httpihconstantc_izdAp.gif.scaled500.gif" width="500" /></a> </div> <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=6j7gzvcab&amp;v=001rBBS2uM5H38uHIXT1NiL07sLw-8aABW0V-3oJ7iXECkndbP6oA2eIdOfkWTDPwVaLjdh2Sc22fv1H1fkkAPF6Hs_HNc79I0VviJLbtP_yDslW3KADZOCh-fSPsWjKQEAMvLEobcBIldnsMm61sXv0YS_XwU58W77Xd44jKzQzAALRTxzgJli7y0IGvM9eBcjf5ADRvhpqLqBUBJQbMy-Ah2VkbsT8LHi72QX9C7kEkCW4uN1C-D0EsgADBTSPR1asWoaSZiQxvCKpJdEwhlsQqov8dYRG3ZvCYwxOqgGdlQKcatp9Uqdvpp1inxParekDVuMBEORy5beFmOlCkgMPg%3D%3D">campaign.r20.constantcontact.com</a></div> <p>New Age is now sponsoring the MUSE International Newsletter.

Typically customers will save 50-70% overall on IT costs by consolidating resource pools. Therefore, unused processing power from each physical server becomes a part of the resource pool, and CPU&rsquo;s that were typically running at 5-15% capacity on independent servers can now be used at 60-80%. Ultimately the user is unaffected by the change.
