Healthcare Solutions
Next generation energy efficient disk-based storage systems
Recent shifts to more electronic - based information and clinical results have resulted in a dramatic increase in the demand for secure disk - based storage. Nexsan has a set of solutions ideally suited to the management and storage of fixed content. Our 20,000+ storage installations include a significant number of healthcare customers such as the National Institute of Health, MD Anderson, Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser Permanente, Abbott Labs and Mt. Sinai to name just a few.
Nexsan storage systems have been designed to meet the requirements of the medical and healthcare industries; in addition to providing a highly reliable and scalable storage platform, our Assureon Archive solutions provide accessibility, are completely scalable and include long term retention and lifecycle management of medical information. Additionally, Assureon addresses the security of data, including HIPAA compliance, and the built - in replication and integrity checking that a long term archive requires.
Assureon is a robust and cost-effective alternative to EMC's Centera (see comparison) in the huge market for fixed content information . Assureon has many technological and cost-saving advantages including the ability to scale significantly without impacting performance. Nexsan's Assureon goes way beyond those early disk-based archiving products by including more capabilities, stronger security, faster performance and a highly affordable price point.
