Infortrend EonStor CS Scale-Out NAS Suits Medical Picture Archiving and Communication System

Infortrend Technology, Inc. developed EonStor CS scale-out NAS to perfectly suit medical PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) by satisfying its requirements of high file OPS and high throughput for random read requests of medical images as well as by providing highly expandable capacity to store continuously increasing patients’ data.

The giant amounts of high-resolution digital image data produced in medical diagnostics require storage solution able to provide fast access to patients’ data and safely store expanding medical archives. Thus, a reliable and easily managed storage system is essential in medical institutions. EonStor CS storage cater to such demand, especially for the growing medical data management of medical PACS.

The NAS can linearly increase performance and expand capacity up to 100+PB by adding more nodes. Deploying CS solution allows hospitals address the sheer volumes of ever-growing medical data. With high file access performance, CS lets doctors find and open required medical images almost instantaneously. Moreover, the system provides data protection and HA to ensure integrity of medical data and prevent PACS downtime from HDD or storage system failures. For easy system management, CS comes with a centralized management software EonOne, which allows users to monitor and manage the entire cluster via web-browser.

“For modern medical organizations, CS is an ideal basis for deploying PACS with I/O-intensive workloads, as it provides exceptional read performance for medical file access, simple management, and high storage capacity, helping doctors provide high-quality medical services to their patients,” said Frank Lee, senior director of product planning.
