ProAct delivers storage solution to GE Medical Systems' ASP-service in the Nordic

GE Medical Systems chooses storage solution from ProAct Datasystem AB ProAct delivers storage solution to GE Medical Systems' ASP-service in the Nordic Several hospitals have chosen a so called ASP solution from GE Medical Systems. The ASP-solution means that GE Medical Systems will take care of the image management, storage and distribution, and that the photo archive will get a practically unlimited and secure data storage resource that is transparent to the user. The solution handles all digital image management in the hospitals. The unique feature of the system is that now, all imaging can be handled on disc systems that can be very large. The approximated production for a larger hospital or county council is up to 15 TB over a three-year period. To be able to handle the massive need for storage, GE Medical Systems has chosen a storage solution based on a SAN (Storage Area Network) solution from ProAct Datasystem. -We chose the solution from ProAct partly because it has the best price/performance and partly because we already have a well functioning installation, says Henrik Plym-Forshell at GE Medical Systems Information Technologies. For customers who choose not to buy and own their IT systems, GE Medical Systems offer storage as a service. The customer then only pays for the use of the system, avoiding the many problems ownership of a system can involve. GE Medical Systems guarantees integrity, security and availability to the information and performance to re-collect the information. - The cooperation between GE Medical Systems, which used to be ProAct Medical, and ProAct is strong and our solutions complement each other, says Henrik Wahl, CEO ProAct Datasystem AB.
