Visit Lex is #LocallyLexington

With COVID-19 making travel more difficult for some, Visit Lex saw an opportunity to highlight Lexington as a safe and fun getaway, with plenty of wide-open spaces, during this time. Focusing on outdoor activities such as horse riding, ziplining and plenty of parks and trails to explore, Visit Lex has engaged travelers to come enjoy the perfect socially distant vacation spot, right here in Lexington.
COVID-19 has forced businesses to make some major and costly adjustments. To help with this, the Downtown Lexington Management District and the Downtown Lexington Partnership created a Reopening and Recovery Grant Program for downtown businesses to assist with things such as the purchase of PPE materials and expenses related to rent and staffing. Kinetic by Windstream also partnered to provide a matching technology grant to recipients, including a technology audit and a solutions roadmap to help businesses select the best technology to continue to connect with their customers during this time.
We’re thrilled that Visit Lex  is one of the many recipients of the DLMD and DLP Reopening and Recovery Grant, along with the matching technology grant from Kinetic by Windstream.
Visit Lex is helping put Lexington at the top of travelers’ minds and helping to promote businesses in the community, not just during COVID-19, but year-round. Visit Lex is truly #LocallyLexington.

Case Study: How Appalachian Regional Healthcare Nursed Their Network Back to Health


The Challenge
ARH has always been first to respond to the changing demands of rural healthcare. As the largest provider of care and single largest employer in southeastern Kentucky, as well as the third largest private employer in southern West Virginia, ARH has continuously invested in new technology and medical capabilities to carry out its mission of improving the health and well-being of all people within their surrounding community.
The rural nature of ARH’s hospitals and clinics had contributed to a discernible challenge of acquiring consistent connectivity and network redundancy to support their employees and patients. So, when ARH began implementing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) application into their network, the organization knew network connections at many locations would not support new high-bandwidth demands. Because locations were single-threaded and lacked the redundancy of having a second connection, outages were not uncommon.
On top of that, ARH was lacking the visibility necessary to monitor networks proactively, resulting in reactive responses to outages and network issues. They needed a solution stat—one that encompassed monitoring and maintenance from a Network Operating Center (NOC) to ensure all locations were always up and running. ARH knew they wanted a solution that would integrate all of their facilities into a single network to streamline infrastructure management moving forward.

Time has done nothing to lessen the validity of these guidelines, but if we’re being honest, most of us pay about as much attention to them as we do a preflight presentation, which is to say not much. And for that, the hacker community can’t thank us enough because business for cybercriminals is booming these days.
