Caring for the Community... Celebrating our partnership with Hospice of the Chesapeake
Over 200 area golfers took to the fairways earlier this month, raising about
$100,000 for Hospice of the Chesapeake. DataLink sponsored lunch at the 16th annual golf tournament and our very own Mylon Staton and Tyler Staton participated on the organizing committee that put on this great fundraising event at Queenstown Harbor Golf Course.

DataLink has been the Hospice's trusted technology partner for many years. When it set up an Inpatient Care Center on the Pasadena, MD campus, the Hospice recognized a need for physical security measures to better safeguard patients, personnel and assets.

DataLink was called in for solutions that included...
  • Intrusion Alarm System to guard against unauthorized entry to the building, patient quarters, and medical supply rooms.
  • Video Intercom System to provide continuous video surveillance of exterior entrances.
  • Multi-camera Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system to keep a 24-hour eye on the campus.
  • Central Management Station allowing video to be viewed in real-time and stored on a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for later playback.
The Hospice's secure environment offers peace of mind for patients and visitors, and helps volunteers and staff focus on delivering excellent patient care. As the Hospice continues to grow to serve our local community, DataLink technology and support will be there too.

Cyber Security worries? How Compliance Gap Analysis and Risk Assessment can stop the Bad Guys
An ongoing challenge for every business is how to improve their cyber security posture. We get your business on the right track with Compliance Gap Analysis and Risk Assessments.

Compliance Gap Analysis - Keeping up with Compliance is a moving target and can seem overwhelming. If your organization must comply with government mandates, DataLink can provide gap analysis and remediation, quarterly scanning, and annual audits to help you achieve compliance objectives and better position your company for secure, sustained growth.

Risk Assessments - DataLink first works on establishing your customized security baseline definitions using the typical IT Infrastructure as a framework and model:
  • User Domain
  • Workstation Domain
  • LAN Domain
  • LAN-to-WAN Domain
  • Remote Access Domain
  • WAN Domain
  • System / Application Domain
After a well-defined risk assessment, we provide step-by-step recommendations so your organization can properly address gaps and implement required security risk mitigation solutions.

We Make IT Easy... How Centralized Computing for your Multi-site Business simplifies your life
The basic idea behind centralized computing is to permit multi-site enterprises to run their IT operations without the complexity and expense associated with running traditional data centers and infrastructure, while also supporting distributed users. 

Instead, they can rely on service providers like DataLink to fulfill their processing, storage, server, networking and support needs. DataLink offers two Cloud services that simplify enterprise IT - Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS).
  • Infrastructure as a Service - With this arrangement, we implement and maintain an Enterprise-class IT environment. We set up and maintain servers, network equipment and related services. Clients can opt for a fully managed or co-managed arrangement, supporting such things as operating systems, desktops and applications. Web-based management tools enable you to self-provision resources - scaling them up or down - or we can handle everything on your behalf.
  • Desktop as a Service - Our experts coordinate, provision, and support your user endpoints - PCs, laptops, tablets, mobile devices. DaaS minimizes upfront hardware and software costs, while enhancing security. Best of all, your DataLink IT experts handle ongoing, daily user demands so you can focus on strategic IT initiatives.
