Melbourne Health and BioGrid Australia Turn to New Database to Host Medical Images 2008-04-01 Oracle

BioGrid Australia recently made available a set of historical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images from the past 15 years which had only been available on archival tapes, to help researchers understand how to treat epilepsy. However, the organization had no database or associated infrastructure that could cope with the specific image types or privacy requirements of the new service. After evaluating several solutions, BioGrid Australia selected Oracle Database 11g to host and manage data used by the service. Oracle Database 11g's ability to natively process the industry-standard Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image type and metadata played a critical role in BioGrid Australia's final decision.

Wellness Product Company Switches From Linux to Windows Server to Support Growth 2008-03-25 Microsoft Tips

Zone Labs, known for its Evidence Based Wellness products, had an unsupported IT mix of Linux, Apache, Tomcat, JBoss, and Java 2 Enterprise Edition, with financial data in QuickBooks. With no automated inventory control, no disaster recovery mechanism, and only limited security capabilities, the environment was unable to support significant business growth. To prepare for continued growth, the company switched to Microsoft software, including Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft Dynamics GP. Today, Zone Labs has an integrated IT environment that helps improve business processes and employee productivity. The move to the Windows-based environment has helped make the company's IT systems more manageable, reliable, and secure, and has improved its ability to find the necessary skilled resources, applications, and vendor support.
