SIOS Technology Partners with Emerging Digital Concepts - Provides High Availability for Emergency Dispatch Interoperability for National Capital RegionalSAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SIOS Technology Corp., an industry pioneer in providing intelligent application availability, today announced it has partnered with Emerging Digital Concepts (EDC) to provide high availability data protection for their mission-critical NG-CAD-X CAD-to-CAD (C2C) Exchange in the Azure Cloud. More than 10 years ago, EDC pioneered and built the United States National Capital Region (NCR) C2C Exchange, which enables hundreds of emergency dispatchers in all participating jurisdictions to exchange computer aided dispatch (CAD) information, coordinate multi-agency responses, share real time incident information, and understand locations and availability of thousands of front-line units, including fire rescue, EMS, EMT and other resources. Failover clustering enabled by SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition was added to the system as part of a recent cloud migration. The NCR Data Exchange Hub (DEH) C2C Exchange software leverages a clustered Microsoft SQL Server database operating in Azure Cloud. SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software provides high availability (HA) protection for the C2C Exchange and facilitates ongoing maintenance without the need for scheduled downtime. The Challenge The Solution Failover SANless Clustering in the Cloud The Results Since implementing SIOS DataKeeper in the NCR C2C Exchange, there have been no downtime issues involving the database or data loss between nodes. Chris Wiseman, EDC President, CEO, and Co-Founder added, “There have been a few unexpected, uncontrollable networking issues and the database failed over quickly, allowing the C2C Exchange to operate without prolonged reduction in service to end users. The SIOS software enables us to ensure data availability and to use lower-cost SQL Server Standard Edition. That adds up to better service and significant, continuing annual savings for our stakeholders.” On the Horizon “We are proud of the role that SIOS DataKeeper has played in EDC’s pioneering work in the development of the DEH,” said Masahiro Arai, Chief Operating Officer, SIOS Technology. “We look further to continuing our partnership to protect the availability of the mission-critical systems first responders rely on.” Upcoming Webinar: Tweet this: @SIOSTech partners with Emergency Digital Concepts to ensure efficient emergency dispatch services for @ACCNatlCapital #CAD #applicationavailability #cloud #azure https://bit.ly/3dAWBTz About SIOS Technology Corp.
