Storage media manufacturer DISC of Milpitas, CA, has joined forces with PACS and teleradiology vendor eMed Technologies to include DISC's automated storage libraries in eMed's Archive Management product suite. The libraries store from 104 GB to 5 TB of data, making them ideally suited for the huge data storage requirements of medical records and image data, according to DISC.
DISC's 5.25-inch magneto-optical storage libraries will be combined with eMed software as part of the latter firm's Framewave Compression Archive system, which allows customers to store medical images from multiple sites in a central archive containing as many as 1,070 magneto-optical disks. The automated library allows customers quick access to the archived information over wide-area networks and the Internet, DISC said.
eMed Technologies of Lexington, MA, provides systems and services to enable the management and distribution of medical images and related patient information. DISC produces high-capacity CD optical storage libraries for use with medical and other data storage systems.
