The database of collected information is physically housed at the facility of Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR). The company owns and manages its own servers and NYSMSC data is stored in a MS SQL Server 2000 Database.

The technology is both efficient and stable, per the industry standard. Back-up schemes to preserve the data, however, are more comprehensive and efficient to ensure no data loss. NYSMSC data is backed up continuously during the day (every four hours) and backed up to tape each night. UDSMR also provides improved disaster recovery in the unlikely circumstance of data loss.

Carl Granger, MD, Executive Director of UDSMR is also an investigator with the NYSMSC site 01, Jacobs Neurological Institute.
