Green Data Center Conference

EasyStreet’s Rich Bader and Jon Crowhurst are presenting a workshop at The Green Data Center Conference in San Francisco on May 24. It is titled: Proven Green Technologies and Design for the Real-Sized Data Center. Following is a synopsis of the workshop:

We’ve all heard about green technologies in humongous data centers – Amazon, Google, Facebook and the like – but what about the thousands of smaller ones, like yours? Speaking from plenty of real-world experience, Rich Bader and Jon Crowhurst discuss how to design and deploy cost-effective green technologies in data centers of 10K-square-feet or less, whether existing or still on the drawing board. They’re co-founders of EasyStreet Online Services Inc., a leading Northwest IT services provider, where Rich is president and CEO, and Jon heads up the technical side. They’ve implemented energy-efficiency upgrades in existing facilities and recently commissioned a new data center the Oregon Department of Energy cites as the state’s most advanced green facility. Join Rich and Jon for a fact-filled interplay on both business and technical considerations of green data center technologies you can try at home.

EasyStreet Lunch & Learn: The Outsourcing Continuum

Many thanks to Mike Scheuerman, Senior Consultant with Mass Ingenuity, for his informative presentation at EasyStreet on March 17 about the due diligence involved in outsourcing some — or all — of your IT infrastructure. Some 20 local IT folks signed up to attend this event, during which Mike discussed the concepts covered in his internet.com IT Management eBook, “The Outsourcing Continuum.” Mike covered issues such as:

  • What is IT doing today in support of the corporate business strategy?
  • Does the IT organization provide good business value or is it just keeping the lights on?
  • What does IT really cost today?
  • Will outsourcing save money or provide more value for the dollars spent?

Additional helpful publications can be found here on Mike’s web site.

Oregon Health Network (OHN) Celebrates Network Operations Center at EasyStreet

OHN-NOC-1b

Imagine an OHN-member hospital in Wallowa having a video consultation with a doctor at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. Suddenly there is a network problem and the connection is lost. A Network Management System alerts the technicians at the OHN Network Operations Center (NOC), located at EasyStreet Online Services, and they work with the service providers on both ends of the connection to get the problem resolved as quickly as possible.

The state’s first broadband telehealth network has become a reality and this accomplishment was celebrated at EasyStreet on Friday, December 4. Nearly 75 stakeholders were in attendance and, as the saying goes, “a good time was had by all.”

OHN is a non-profit organization comprising healthcare, technology and telecommunications experts gathered together to create the first broadband telehealth network in Oregon. A membership-based organization, OHN strives to connect and serve all organizations and partner communities (providers, educators, government and business) who are critical to improving the quality, delivery and access of healthcare education for all Oregonians, regardless of location.

You can read more about the technology behind the telehealth network here.
