MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2001--Datalink Corporation (Nasdaq:DTLK - news), announced today that it has been chosen by Salem Hospital to design, build and support the hospital's information storage architecture. The Storage Area Network (SAN) to be implemented by Datalink will provide Salem Hospital, the largest healthcare provider in Oregon's capital, with data consolidation, high availability, and reduced storage-related administrative costs.
