IBM and Bycast deliver next-generation storage grid solution for healthcare

In medical imaging, as well as for patient records, the shift from film and paper to digital is already underway—a direct response to the need for better access to information that supports more efficient diagnoses. Digital images and documents from all disciplines, including radiology, cardiology and pathology, are vital elements of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and a major contributor to the quality of patient care. Many organizations rely on Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS) to enable the acquisition, transfer, interpretation, storage and transmission of digital medical images.

Bycast and IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences offer a next-generation fixed-content storage grid, an innovative approach that enables the creation of enterprise-wide storage virtualization that can make it easier and faster to store and retrieve images and documents. The Bycast StorageGRID running on IBM hardware creates a unified system that combines multiple, heterogeneous, distributed storage and computing resources into a highly reliable, distributed infrastructure for the storage and transmission of imagery, documents, and even audio and video files.
