Follow on Google News | Mosaic Completes Nation-Wide Linux Migration Successfully with NoMachine NX40 branch offices now run on a Linux network with NX providing secure hosted desktops and application delivery to reduce IT costs and enhance performance
By: Katie Glossner For this migration project, Mosaic deploys “high-function” NX provides a user-friendly solution allowing Mosaic to reduce costs, improve performance and guarantee the security of HIPAA data. NX drastically reduces expenditure for Mosaic, providing low overall cost compared to other solutions on the market and reduces hardware cost allowing for the reutilization of their old PCs as “high-function” The adoption of NX for this conversion to hosted Linux desktops has also greatly improved the performance and speed of remote sessions since very little bandwidth is required per user. Due to NX's unique compression, Mosaic has been able to greatly increase the number of concurrent users from each facility, without affecting the quality of local network connectivity. Using the NX Advanced Server and NX Advanced Server Nodes allows Mosaic to easily balance their sessions and add nodes increasing session resiliency, server response time and resource utilization. Serving nearly 250 communities in the US and with partner programs in several foreign countries, ensuring the security of medical records and data across the network is a necessity for Mosaic. NX allows Mosaic to meet all HIPAA requirements with SSH encryption, guaranteeing the privacy of the health information across any network. All agencies from Arizona to the headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska were included in this migration, with the last remote agency in Connecticut being migrated in November 2009 . The transition has now been finalized and all 40 offices throughout the country are successfully running their applications on the new NX solution. There have been approximately 1,500 total NX users and nearly 500 concurrent users at any given time. Feedback from NX users at Mosaic has been overwhelmingly positive as they realize the true power of collaboration and the convenience of having ready access to their data from anywhere. Even as staff travel to international destinations, they can still connect to the system and access the central NX Server cluster instantly. “The NoMachine Client and Server implementations have been key to our project success,” says data storage and security administrator for the Mosaic National Office, Thomas Keown. “With NX, we have centralized our massive amount of data and are now provided the control, back-up and security we require to meet HIPAA requirements. The costs are relatively minimal, but more importantly, NX technology has worked flawlessly from the beginning.” To read the full updated case study, please visit http://www.nomachine.com/ About NoMachine Based in Rome, Italy, NoMachine is the creator of award-winning NX software, an enterprise-class solution for secure remote access, application delivery, and hosted desktop deployment.
