RamSoft, ERadiology to provide web hosting app

RamSoft has partnered with ERadiology to offer a hosting application that leverages digital imaging technology for equipment purchase and maintenance.

The joint venture combines Toronto-based RamSoft’s PowerServer products with Nashville, Tenn.-based ERadiology’s off-site, web-based hosting service complete with disaster recovery, according to RamSoft.

The ERadiology application melds RamSoft’s software with an application service provider (ASP) hosted in redundant SAS70-certified data facilities. This combination ensures environmental controls, fire suppression and redundant fiber-optic networking to secure clients’ data, RamSoft stated.
