Sandata, Inc Awards Computer Design and Integration LLC a $1.9 Million High Availability Project

CDI’s proposal of the HP N-Class Server and XP-256 were selected as the only
cost-effective solution in January 2000

Computer Design and Integration LLC, Wan HP Exclusive Reseller, announced a strategic win at Sandata, Inc. Sandata, Inc. is the creator and provider of SANTRAX, the nation’s leading internet-based time, attendance and resource utilization monitoring system for home health care field employees. Prior to this win, Sandata’s systems were proprietary only.

Mike Koslosky, IS Director-Systems Support Organization at Sandata, states "We selected CDI because of their technical expertise. Anthony Ferrante, CDI Sales Manager, and Ed Karasinski, CDI Technical Consultant, helped to architect and design a High Availability solution to give Sandata 7x24 system accessibility." CDI is assisting in moving the Santrax application from an NT platform to an Oracle based solution running on the N-Class Business Server, to provide for quarterly expandability and reliability as Sandata expands and grows.

A division of Sandata, National Medical Health Card Systems, Inc. (NMHCS) has been providing prescription benefits for clients since 1981. NMHCS effectively manages and integrates prescription benefits programs with technology. NMHCS is a pharmaceutical prescription card solution that originally required 2 separate hardware platforms – NT and DataGeneral. It has migrated from the old legacy environment to the new state of the art application, PHI. PHI is an OLTP & DSS environment using Oracle 8.15 as the database. PHI is currently installed on the N-Class running HP-UX 11.0 utilizing MC ServiceGuard for High Availability.

Because of the high volume of transactions and the growing business, Sandata has selected the XP-256 for all storage requirements. The XP-256 has approximately 2 TB of available storage to accommodate for the multiple applications that will be connected to the storage array. Mike Koslosky stated, "the XP-256 allows the ability to quickly expand storage and connectivity with minimal to no disruption of service to my end users." The N-Class server was selected because, "it is the only cost-effective solution to support the 100,000 plus calls per day that are managed by Santrax," confirmed Mike Koslosky.
