Hoornstra Training Aids in NATCO Readiness

NATCO Computer Technician Walter “Butch” Hoornstra recently completed training to set up and implement software that would mirror and replicate certain company data to a backup AS400 system. The training was through Vision Solutions of Irvine, Calif., and was held at Salt Lake City, Utah.

The seminar included basic terminology, an overview of iTERA High Availability, and step-by-step instructions essential to replication. NATCO Business Manager Steve Smith said, “In the event of a disaster, NATCO can rely on this machine to be a production server at another location for all our needs to operate fully.”

Hoornstra recently joined NATCO after working independently in the computer field locally for more than a dozen years.

NATCO is an independent family-owned and operated telephone company providing telecommunications services in six exchanges: Bull Shoals, Diamond City, Flippin, Lead Hill, Omaha, and Pyatt. NATCO Technologies, a division of NATCO, provides Internet and satellite service to residents of the Twin Lakes area, including southern Missouri.
