Mon, February 9, 2009 RG Stone Hospital Deploys Pain-free Server-based Computing Solution using GraphOn GO-Global
SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--GraphOn Corporation (OTCBB: GOJO), a leading worldwide developer of thin-client application publishing and Web-enabling solutions, announced today that RG Stone Urology and Laparoscopy Hospital has deployed its GO-Global software to implement a server-centric computing solution providing access to centrally-running hospital information applications from a variety of local and remote client devices.
Based in Delhi, India, RG Stone Urology and Laparoscopy Hospital operates 16 state-of-the-art urology and laparoscopy facilities throughout India. The hospital provides advanced, non-invasive kidney stone treatment for patients throughout India and from around the globe.
"What RG Stone needed was an easy, inexpensive and efficient way to centralize their Windows-based hospital management applications in real time so that all information was available to all authorized users at the click of a button," said Ashish Kamotra, CEO of ADAPT Software, GraphOn's distribution partner in India. "The hospital wanted to eliminate the need to run applications and update data from many different locations."
RG Stone initially evaluated Citrix and Microsoft Windows Terminal Services (WTS), but found these products to be overly complex and expensive, and therefore a poor fit for their requirements.
"We had heard that GO-Global was very easy to deploy and use, so our IT staff performed a simple proof-of-concept to test the viability of the solution," explained Mr. Hanish Bansal, Executive Director at RG Stone. "GO-Global quickly proved itself to be an easy-to-manage application publishing solution that is both economical and results oriented."
The GO-Global plug-and-play solution reduces the complexities of server-based computing. The hospital was able to instantly "publish" its Windows applications onto the network without having to make any changes. The applications can be accessed from any authorized location, platform and operating system – just as though the applications were running on the local clients. Application issues and updates can be resolved at the secure central server site, rather than having to visit individual desktops.
GO-Global also proved to be an economical solution. While Citrix is based on per-seat licensing, GO-Global licensing is based on concurrent usage. This approach reduced the overall cost of ownership for the hospital.
Today, RG Stone's SQL-based hospital management applications run on a centralized Intel Multi-Flex Quad Core Server with 16GB RAM under Windows Server 2003. Client devices throughout the many locations include laptop and desktop PCs running a range of operating systems such as Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Vista.
"GO-Global has provided us with all of the security features that we were looking for without being complex," said Mr. Dayashankar, RG Stone's IT Head. "The solution is quite fast and implementation time was very quick."
