About Bay Dermatology
Since 1988, Bay Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery has offered central Florida patients the region's highest quality care for advanced treatment of all skin, hair and nail disorders. Our Board Certified dermatologists specialize in diseases of the skin, skin cancer, psoriasis therapy, and ultraviolet light therapy, as well as a variety of cosmetic procedures. All of our procedures are performed with the utmost care and we take great pride in the personal, one-on-one attention we give to our patients.
 
With offices conveniently located in Port Richey, Tampa, Largo, Spring Hill, St. Petersburg, Palm Harbor and Homosassa, Bay Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery is the only practice of its kind serving all of Pasco, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Hernando and Citrus counties.
 
In 1998, Bay Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery opened Bay Skin Care. Here, a professional team of licensed aestheticians works in association with our physicians to promote skin health and offer a wide variety of services and medical grade skin care products. Our aesthetician services are available for post-operative care for cosmetic, laser and other surgical procedures.
 
Bay Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is also a teaching facility affiliated with NOVA Southeastern College of Osteopathic Medicine. Routinely, medical students, interns and residents rotate through its offices learning the most up to date and state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment modalities in dermatology.
 
In July of 2012 Bay Dermatology expanded with a Psoriasis & Vitiligo Center in the St. Pete Beach office. This one-of-a-kind treatment center offers the latest laser treatments, biologics and topical/oral medications. No longer do you have to hide from your skin disorders, we're here to help.
 
The providers at Bay Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery are happy to see you for a consultation to discuss any questions or concerns you might have regarding dermatologic procedures.
 
  
 
 
IT Profile:
Bay Dermatology has over 150 users, 7 locations and 170 endpoints with 8 servers located in a Data-Center managed by a local IT firm. The company's interconnects between locations were simple VPN over T1 or cable modem connections.
 
Challenge:
Juan Rosa, the IT Manager for Bay Dermatology, called Data-Tech because he was dealing with daily performance and connectivity problems with his network and servers.  The user experience was poor and failing to improve.  Prior to calling Data-Tech, Juan attempted remediation with his current provider, but a cost-effective, high performance solution was not realized.
 
Diagnosis:
After meeting with Juan, Data-Tech was able to quickly diagnose the technology limitations at the root of Bay Dermatology's daily tech issues. Data-Tech determined that the server farm was way underpowered; too many users and resources were combined on servers without the proper resources assigned.
 
The infrastructure design for Bay Dermatology was fundamentally wrong, inefficient and allowed for multiple single points of failure and compromised performance. This resulted in a subpar user experience. The software platform was also outdated and failed to provide the flexibility needed for high performance of a large scale operation. Bay Dermatology had multiple locations connected by old, outdated and unreliable technology.
 
The management and monitoring tools provided by Juan Rosa's IT service provider were also low quality, outdated and failed to provide adequate information and support tools necessary for the large scale operations at Bay Dermatology.
 
The final challenge was to provide a smooth and quick migration from Bay Dermatology's current Data-Center and IT provider to Data-Tech's privately owned Data-Center and IaaS platform.
 
Solution Provided:
After meeting with Juan and identifying the issues his users were experiencing, Data-Tech understood the solution needed to be fast, reliable and cost-effective.  Juan gave Data-Tech a budget to work with and parameters on what would provide an outstanding experience for his users.
 
The first challenge to address was that the current infrastructure was on outdated hardware; a root cause of its limitations.  Data-Tech needed to provide an infrastructure solution that was lightning fast and reliable, but also within the budget provided by Juan.  Leveraging our Infrastructure as a Service Platform, Data-Tech was able to deliver a state of the art infrastructure built on Dell's Blade Servers. With a blazing fast 100% Solid State Drive subsystem, Hex Core Processors and 5 times the estimated RAM requirement, this system would not only provide immediate response but would be scalable and reliable for years to come.
 
Data-Tech's Cloud Services Software Platform is built on Microsoft's 2012 Operating System and leverages the Hyper-V virtualization technology. This platform provides Bay Dermatology with the performance, reliability, dynamic scalability and management tools required to deliver the performance expectations of both Bay Dermatology users and doctors.
 
During the diagnostic phase, Data-Tech also determined that the connectivity between Bay Dermatology's offices and the Data-Center were not adequate.  Data-Tech's CyberCATS Team of engineers explained to Juan that no matter how fast we made the infrastructure in our Data-Center, the users would not have a great experience unless we could provide the offices with reliable high speed connectivity. Data-Tech was able to leverage our partnership with Bright House Networks to provide Bay Dermatology with tremendous discounts on an all Fiber Metro-Ethernet private network, integrated to our Data-Center at a price that was within the budget.
 
Data-Tech utilizes the latest software platforms for monitoring, management and automated maintenance of our infrastructure.  Our Data-Center Support Team manages over ten thousand end points and tens of thousands of users using Kaseya, PRTG and 2X RAS server for management and deployment. By extension of being hosted in the Data-Tech Data-Center and being a part of our IaaS Platform, Juan and Bay Dermatology receive access to these enterprise level management tools.
 
Data-Tech leverages 2X RAS Server for cloud services connectivity.  On the old platform, Bay Dermatology was provided Citrix for connectivity. The Citrix platform was expensive, cumbersome to manage and outdated. Upgrading the Citrix platform would have pushed the project out of budget. Using the 2X RAS Platform, Data-Tech was able to deliver a superior Cloud Connectivity Platform that is easy to manage and provides more tools and scalability.  This solution allowed for the full version including the Web Platform, while still managing to come in under budget  You can find out more about the 2X RAS Platform at http://www.2x.com. Data-Tech is a Premier business partner of 2X Software and is able to provide direct engineering support and premier pricing discounts.
 
Once the infrastructure was built and tested, Data-Tech designed a detailed and efficient migration plan.  The CyberCATS team at Data-Tech is very experienced in Data-Center migrations for clients, whether moving from Premise to the Cloud or from one Data-Center to another. There was a high degree of confidence in migrating Bay Dermatology's 150 users and 7 locations to our Data-Center and the new, state-of-the-art-infrastructure.
 
The migration was scheduled for Friday at 5pm and needed to be completed by the following Monday at 8am when Bay Dermatology opened it's doors to patients.  It was a tremendous success.  On Monday at 8am, Bay Dermatology was up and running on the new platform provided by Data-Tech.  Printer and user login challenges were expected and remedied, and overall, Bay Dermatology was fully operational, with very few end user issues.

PRTG Network Monitoring
Knowing When Things Break Is Good. Knowing Before They Break Is Even Better.
 
PRTG Network Monitor includes more than 200 sensor types for all common network services, including HTTP, SMTP/POP3 (email), FTP, etc. But what is a sensor? One sensor within PRTG is one particular, individual monitoring entity. It monitors e.g. one network service, one URL, or one port of a switch.
 
With PRTG Data-Tech can alert you to outages before your users even notice them, including via email, SMS, or pager. Even better, after you use PRTG to track request times and uptime for a few months, you can optimize your network such that the pager never rings again. PRTG can print reports showing how good a job you are doing. (Tell your boss that your 100% uptime last quarter deserves a raise. We'll even print you the report to do it with.)  See more at: http://www.paessler.com/prtg
