For the core of their MIS operation, Kaleida Health chose MultiNet
as their preferred TCP/IP stack for OpenVMS. MultiNet runs on
nine AlphaServer OpenVMS hosts that are used for clinical information
systems and their results repository.
"MultiNet is the most reliable TCP/IP stack for OpenVMS on
the market. I have evaluated Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
and decided that MultiNet is more reliable, it never fails" says
David Barnes, Systems Analyst, Kaleida Health.
As an avid user of MultiNet for many years since release 2.5,
Barnes stated "MultiNet is not only reliable, but it performs
well in a mixed operating system environment". Kaleida Health
uses the MultiNet NFS, and FTP server daily to communicate with
UNIX hosts, while reporting and extracting data and moving patient
files. Windows, HP-UX, and other platforms are also used in the
Kaleida Health network.
"SSH and SCP are other examples of how MultiNet is ahead
of the competition. Secure encrypted remote communication and
file transfer are required in order to meet our stringent patient
confidentiality requirements" says Barnes.
Barnes stated "MultiNet has proven that it is a superior product
with its reliability and advanced features. Process Software's
Technical Support is also very knowledgeable and responsive."
