St. Paul, MN (October 18, 2012) – Patterson Dental has announced DDS Rescue, a business continuity solution that includes an onsite failover server, cloud backup, and 24-hour system monitoring. DDS Rescue is designed to duplicate programs and data so that in the event of an issue (eg, server failure, theft, or a natural disaster), a dental practice can be back up and running in as little as 10 minutes through the use of the failover server, or the office can view patient information online if necessary.

Patterson Dental is offering DDS Rescue to its customers in addition to its PattLock online backup system. “With multiple in-office and in-the-cloud backup solutions now available as part of Patterson’s best-in-class technology offering, practices can choose the best fit for their needs,” said Josh Killian, vice president of digital technologies. “Plus, we assist our customers in selecting the best option for their practice, so that in the unfortunate event of an issue, their data will be restored as quickly as possible.”

For more information or to order DDS Rescue, customers should contact their Patterson Dental territory representative, local Patterson branch or call 800.294.8504.
