In the midst of the Information Age we face the reality that ever more digital content is being created, stored and distributed, and there’s no end in sight. With as much as 90% of that data being unstructured, such as documents, spreadsheets, images and the like, storage as usual will not suffice in this new reality as organizations demand simpler, more affordable, scalable and reliable storage for digital content. The increasing demand requires a scale-out architecture that delivers infrastructure that supports private and public storage clouds and can seamlessly scale to meet evolving business needs.

  • VNA: A Better Way To Archive
    1/16/2015

    Given today’s broad healthcare challenges, it’s hard to be neutral about Vendor Neutral Archiving (VNA). Given its ability to translate data to a standardized format and enable communication across disparate IT systems, hospital departments, and enterprises, the VNA addresses today’s most crucial healthcare issues – enabling patient data communication across the continuum of care, creating a more complete patient record, and supporting Meaningful Use. Moreover, after years of little control over PACS and other important data, a VNA puts providers back in the driver’s seat and relegates vendors a secondary position.
