A hospital customer needs to expand their capability to process and store medical images. A recent
acquisition of another hospital and additional CT scanners has doubled their need for additional
storage for these images. They are currently storing most of images on dedicated systems that are
directly associated with the radiology departments on small SAN-based storage arrays. The IT
director indicates they want a central repository for holding images until they are archived to long
term storage. This central repository must be accessible by file sharing protocols so that the
radiologists can access images at their workstation, even after an image has been initially read at the
original scanner. This repository needs be able to add additional capacity without downtime. Which
type of solution should you recommend?
A.
mid-range SAN with EVA storage
B.
X9000-based Network Solution
C.
iSCSI P2000 based SAN Solution
D.
IAP Archive Solution
