For general businesses, information loss and slow data access can hinder business operations. However, for healthcare providers, data availability is a matter of life and death. This makes 24x7 data availability and instant access the first requirements for healthcare storage. Moreover, to handle growing PACS and EMR data, healthcare storage solutions must provide flexible scalability. When data intensive medical images and patient information requiring long-term preservation are generated, the storage solution has to scale performance and capacity to process and accommodate increasing data volumes.
