Scale-out Storage Solutions for Healthcare

Simple, Efficient, Scale-out Storage

The EMC Isilon OneFS operating system combines the three layers of traditional storage architectures—file system, volume manager, and data protection—into one unified software layer running on an EMC Isilon storage cluster.

With an EMC Isilon OneFS single pool of storage, healthcare organizations can eliminate operation of multiple volumes and manage their big data storage without the risks of downtime and volume-size limits.

Separate, Secure Storage Pools

EMC Isilon has teamed with Vormetric to deliver a highly scalable clustered network-attached storage (NAS) solution with encryption and key management capabilities. This solution protects sensitive information and facilitates compliance with a variety of security requirements. With unique encryption keys, separate department picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) or separate facilities in various partitions can securely manage image data.

Path to VNA

The next evolutionary step in managing complete hospital image data is the new concept of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA). This type of data management system consolidates medical images from multiple imaging departments into a master directory. The consolidated VNA replaces the individual archives associated with departmental PACS.

EMC Isilon storage solutions support VNA functionality with features such as data duplication, automated tier-to-tier media migrations, security, and metadata management—all within a system that’s fully scalable and highly efficient.
