Case Study: Princeton Radiology Sees Better Patient Care With PACS Backed By Compellent SAN
Princeton Radiology's IT team knew that data storage needs could grow even more rapidly with the implementation of a GE Centricity® picture archiving and communication system (PACS). "To accommodate such a massive amount of capacity, we clearly needed to replace the direct-attach disk drives we were using," says Alan Howard, director of information technology at Princeton Radiology. "The new infrastructure had to provide the capacity we require today while scaling easily for future growth."
Long-term data retention was not the only challenge. Princeton Radiology was not realizing the storage performance and reliability it needed for the medical staff to access images and records quickly to ensure top-notch patient care. "We need to share information with hospitals and medical practices around the country instantaneously," says Howard. "Our best-case backup RPO [recovery point objective] was 24 hours, which was totally unacceptable."
After evaluating storage solutions from several other hardware vendors, Princeton Radiology selected the Compellent® Storage Center™ storage area network (SAN) for its ability to efficiently accommodate storage growth and provide cost-effective data protection.
