Candelis

Candelis will debut ImageGrid 1000, a DICOM server appliance.

Designed for imaging centers, clinics, and medium-sized hospitals, ImageGrid 1000 is a storage and database appliance that moves, routes, and stores DICOM images over a network, according to the Irvine, CA-based firm. It includes automated, rule-based, and secure routing of DICOM images and advanced replication features.

Candelis said that ImageGrid's embedded PACS capability replaces complex servers and software, eliminating the need for specialized system administration skills and training. It can be installed in minutes and employs dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) for interoperability with other DICOM-compliant systems, modalities, and viewing software, according to the firm.

The server appliance can also be employed in conjunction with an existing PACS server. In this type of installation, ImageGrid 1000 can serve as an add-on archiving system as well as a DICOM router, Candelis said.

Other features include a Web-based system administration GUI, self-diagnostic and reporting capabilities with e-mail alerts, and built-in serviceability and redundancy with hot-swap RAID-based disk drives. ImageGrid 1000 is available in two configurations: 3 TB and 6 TB of data storage capacity, with an optional expansion to 38 TB.
