Jackson, Miss – August 18, 2008 - In the March 2008 issue of Storage Magazine, Jimmy Touchstone, a senior systems administration/engineer at Baptist Medical Center, was featured in a full page spread. The magazine is published by TechTarget, which enables information-technology (IT) marketers to reach targeted communities of IT professionals and executives in all phases of the technology decision-making and purchase process.

Touchstone was featured in an article titled, “IBM and Sun Shine Among Tape Libraries.” He talks about how great a fit the library is at Baptist, and now this one piece of equipment is able to perform several tasks which otherwise would have caused the hospital to purchase more equipment using more resources and costing the hospital more money in the long run.

“It moves, backs up and archives data fast as the speed of light, said Touchstone, “The reason we do it so fast is that we are encrypting our data at the hardware level in our IBM Tape Library and not using software. There is no other hospital in the Southeast region able to do this at this time.“ Being able to WORM and encrypt, not only is Baptist protecting patient information, we are also protecting our doctors and employees with secure and complete compliant records.”
