ImageGrid ILM / Tape Library

Candelis has integrated its ImageGrid™ RIS/PACS Appliance with LTO tape library for the seamless back-up of data for disaster recovery (DR) purposes and/or compliance with HIPAA requirements for data redundancy. The ImageGrid™ ILM Software allows any studies archived on an ImageGrid™ system to be easily and seamlessly migrated to tape, while being actively managed in ImageGrid's embedded database.

While ImageGrid™ PACS appliances provides customers with cost effective, scalable and always-online access to studies, the optional tape library can also address specific needs:

 

• Ability to back-up of patient studies as part of efforts for compliance with HIPAA

 

• Implementation of an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) strategy whereby older or "aged" studies are migrated to tape for long term archiving. In these cases, ImageGrid's Storage Retention feature can be used to delete permanently migrated studies from the RAID 5 archive to accommodate new studies.
