We never had any problem with them. Dell is another story. We have had such a nightmare with a Dell system (not through JJWild) that we would never get another one. All of our Magic systems are IBM servers. We have had only had an occasional hard drive go. 1 phone call and a tech and drive are here within 4 hours. <http://www.columbiamemorial.com> Michael LaForge Network Administrator Columbia Memorial Hospital 71 Prospect Avenue Hudson, NY 12534 <http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=71+Prospect+Avenue&csz=H udson%2C+NY+12534&country=us> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tel: fax: (518) 828-8030 <http://www.plaxo.com/click_to_call?src=jj_signature&To=(518)+828-8030&E [EMAIL PROTECTED]> (518) 828-8370 Want a signature like this? <http://www.plaxo.com/signature?src=client_sig_212_1_card_sig> ________________________________ From: Mike McEldowney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 10:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] New hardware platform for Meditech Magic Danny, I had a similar machine to what your replacing, and wish I could have kept it. In the 8 years the machine was running we only lost 2 tape drives and 3 hard drives. We upgraded to Dell servers from JJWild with an EMC CX disk array. In less than 2 years since the install we have replaced 5 tape drives and 4 hard drives. The Dell/EMC machine is junk. Expensive junk. I have also had service issues with EMC. Every time we called in a hard drive for replacement we got invoiced for the call even though the array was under a service contract. I have been fighting them for more than 18 months on the issue and just got it fixed ( so they tell me, we'll find out the next time a hard drive goes toes up. ) I will not buy from JJWild or EMC again. I would suggest finding another vendor, such as Park Place. They handled the service on our old system and I was very pleased with them. I won't be renewing the service on this new machine with JJWild/EMC, I'm switching to Park Place. Mike McEldowney Director of ICS Delta Regional Medical Center >>> "Danny Miles" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 7/12/2007 11:05:04 am >>> We are beginning to plan for a hardware upgrade for our Meditech Magic HIS and I was wondering if anyone would be so kind to share from experience what vendors/servers/storage you have had success with in running the Meditech magic system. We currently have the DG Aviion 1400 servers with EMC clarion disk storage. I would appreciate any and all responses.
