Boston-based Iron Mountain has launched an upgraded version of its Digital Record Center for Medical Images at this week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Atlanta.
Digital Record Center for Medical Images is a cloud storage service for backing up and archiving digital medical information. Iron Mountain's upgraded hybrid cloud service adds an optional onsite storage component to complement its existing cloud service, allowing healthcare organizations to configure the service to meet specific access and disaster recovery requirements.
The service uses a pay-as-you-go model, so customers pay for only what they need and avoid the large capital expenses required for long-term storage, according to Iron Mountain. The company also now includes new options: Mirrored Cloud, storing two copies of each medical image offsite; Hybrid Cloud, storing one copy onsite and one offsite; and Hybrid Cloud2, storing a single copy onsite and two copies offsite.
Digital Record Center for Medical Images features a data shuttle service that allows organizations to move large volumes of data to Iron Mountain's data center faster than they could over the Internet, and optional onsite storage, so that in addition to cloud storage, facilities can store a copy of archived data onsite, Iron Mountain said.
