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.
