etrials implemented Peak 10’s virtualized server hosting, which is expected to offer an infrastructure to support virtualized servers as an alternative to a traditional physical server hardware platform lease.
etrials has strengthened the portability and availability for its servers through the utilization of VMWare virtualization, which translates into hardware independence, real-time server snapshots, improved implementation time and high availability clustering, the two companies said.
Chuck Piccirillo, etrials’s vice president of technology, said: As we continue to experience growth in terms of the number of clinical studies we deploy, the volume of critical data in those studies, and increasingly global scale in which clinical trials are being managed, optimizing our system utilization was a priority and virtualization was the solution. For etrials and our customers, clinical data integrity is of utmost importance, which is why we are continuing to partner with Peak 10 to ensure, together, we provide the highest levels of data integrity and achieve the highest availability possible.
Greg Rollet, Peak 10’s regional vice president of market operations, said: We are very pleased that etrials decided to continue entrusting us with their specialized IT needs. But there is an even greater level of satisfaction in knowing that as etrials continues to grow and its customer and competitive requirements become more complex, we have an extensive portfolio of managed services, and around the clock support that can meet their data-intensive and industry-compliant demands.
