ALPHARETTA, GA and WOBURN, MA – October 11, 2011 – Edge Solutions, a woman-owned IT solutions provider, today announced a new partnership to resell and deliver BridgeHead Software backup, recovery and archiving products. Edge Solutions provides cost-effective custom IT solutions to companies of all sizes, specializing in healthcare, including managed services, storage management solutions, virtualization, internet security, and overall IT infrastructure solutions representing leading IT manufacturers.

The partnership enables Edge Solutions to deliver comprehensive data and storage management solutions from BridgeHead Software to healthcare facilities throughout the southeast. BridgeHead Software helps hospitals in securing, accessing, managing and protecting their healthcare data across the enterprise – both clinical and administrative. Its scalable, future-proof platform separates data from the applications that create it and the storage on which it resides. This helps to eliminate data silos, enables interoperability, reduces the cost of data and storage management and allows hospitals to better utilize their existing and future hardware resources – all while providing a comprehensive data protection capability.

“We are honored that Edge Solutions has added BridgeHead’s healthcare data management software to their portfolio. Edge Solutions has a solid track record of providing complex technology solutions to private and public hospitals, and we very much look forward to working together to deliver enterprise data and storage solutions within the markets they serve,” said Laura Hurlbut, BridgeHead Software’s director of channel management.

“We are pleased to offer a complete storage solution to address the increasing data explosion in the healthcare space. BridgeHead Software improves access to data and provides better utilization of the hardware solutions we also resell,” states Bobby Thomas, Edge Solutions vice president of sales.

Edge Solutions and BridgeHead Software will be showcasing their joint, HP-based healthcare data management solution at booth #31 at the Georgia Healthcare Faire and Regional Conference at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday, October 12, 2011. Visitors to the booth may be selected to participate in a storage preparedness assessment valued at $10,000.
