Legally Compliant Archiving in the Healthcare Sector: PoINT Storage Manager in Use at Diakonie in Südwestfalen gGmbH

Diakonie in Südwestfalen | Logo

With PoINT Storage Manager, Diakonie in Südwestfalen gGmbH archives, among others, data of surgical robots, from X-ray PACS and mammography screening in a legally compliant way in the long term. Our software automatically moves the data to the archive storage level, where the long-lived and cost-effective storage medium tape is used. At the same time, PoINT Storage Manager ensures fast and transparent access to the data for the doctors – essential for reliable medical diagnostics.

Further details about the implementation of PoINT Storage Manager and the infrastructure optimization at Diakonie in Südwestfalen can be found in our current Case Study.

PoINT Blog: Storage infrastructure sustainability through tape integration with intelligent software

Storage infrastructure sustainability

Storage infrastructures must keep pace with the constantly growing volumes of data. Using exclusively hard disk-based storage systems proves to make little sense from an economic perspective. Significant savings can be achieved by integrating tape storage technology: first, in the area of the hardware itself, but also with regard to the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of the data center.

In our current blog article, we explain how you can optimize your storage infrastructure ecologically and economically with the intelligent integration of tape-based S3 storage.

<p>Siegen. Diakonie in S&uuml;dwestfalen gGmbH counters rising hardware costs in the field of archive storage by introducing automated archiving on tape with PoINT Storage Manager. Thus, it also benefits from important functions for legally compliant archiving of medical documents.</p> <p>The Diakonie in S&uuml;dwestfalen stores, among others, important medical data from surgical robots, from X-ray PACS and mammography screening. For diagnostic purposes, this data must be available reliably and quickly. At the same time, it must be archived in a legally compliant manner for the long term.</p> <p>With the redundant storage of data on hard disks, it was possible to ensure the availability of the data. However, there were no more extensive functions for long-term archiving of the data. In addition, the lifespan of the storage medium used was relatively short in view of the long retention periods. This required frequent, high-volume migrations with the associated costs for new storage hardware.</p> <p>In PoINT Storage Manager, Diakonie in S&uuml;dwestfalen found a flexible and scalable solution for legally compliant data archiving. With the introduction of the software, the storage infrastructure could be sustainably optimized. The Diakonie now uses a two-tier storage architecture with primary and archive storage tiers. On the archive storage level, tape is used which, as a particularly cost-effective and durable storage medium, is ideally suited for long-term archiving. PoINT Storage Manager automatically moves the data to the archive storage. There, the software with its integrated features ensures legally compliant archiving and meets the retention periods.</p> <p>"In addition to expanding from one archive (PACS) to four archives, we were able to decouple applications and archiving. We now have more functions available for archiving", says Hans-Georg Ommer, Head of Technical IT at Diakonie in S&uuml;dwestfalen gGmbH. End users can still access the data quickly and transparently &ndash; this is essential, especially for medical diagnostics. Ommer expresses his confidence with regard to growing data volumes: "For future extensions we remain flexible in all directions with PoINT Storage Manager."</p> <p><strong>About Diakonie in S&uuml;dwestfalen gGmbH:</strong></p> <p>Diakonie in S&uuml;dwestfalen, headquartered in Siegen, is the largest health and social service provider in the three-border region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.
