“eMD.com, an e-Care subsidiary of BioShield Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: BSTI), has announced a system partnership with IBM that
will enable the Internet healthcare company to grow rapidly and
economically.”
“We’re extremely excited about this relationship with IBM and we
look forward to building a very strong partnership,” explained
Timothy Moses, co-chairman and CEO. “We’ll be using IBM’s System
390. The reasons we chose it were simple — reliability,
performance, security, scalability and cost reduction. Particularly
important is the reliability we need to run a 24/7 operation as
well as optimal security. Since IBM has built an extraordinary
reputation for its top level of uptime (99.99% uptime) and
security, we found this to be one of the easier business decisions
we’ve made.”
“The partnership with IBM combined with the advances of the
System 390 with Linux, an operating system, will allow eMD.com to
create a state of the art system like no other in the healthcare
industry. General availability of the new system is expected
later in the summer.”
