Medical professionals around the world are taking advantage of the speed and efficiency available from leading data storage technologies. Patient records are being digitized for security and preservation. Radiographic diagnostic images are delivered digitally to a display screen before committing to film for faster access to critical information. All of this digital information also makes it easier for doctors to share information to better help their patients.

But privacy concerns, insurance implications and regulatory requirements like HIPAA all make protection and control of medical data a compelling moral and legal concern. LSI storage technologies help solution providers address those concerns effectively and efficiently with excellent performance and robust data protection features.

The foundation to any LSI storage solution for the medical data center is its MegaRAID 6Gb/s SATA+SAS controller card family. The second-generation of 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers cards drive performance as high as 3.0GB/sec, fast enough to load more than 30 large (100MB) digital radiography images every second. The latest generation of MegaRAID 6Gb SAS and SATA RAID cards drive performance as high as 3.0GB/sec, fast enough to load more than 30 large (100MB) digital radiography images every second.

But fast access to patient records and imagery is only part of the challenge. SafeStore software, one of the LSI advanced software options for select MegaRAID controllers, is designed, through simple and intuitive configuration menus, to protect data from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of hard drives that may contain confidential patient records.

Beyond the products and features, LSI, as a supplier of leading edge data I/O technology, works with other important technology suppliers to test compatibility across a wide range of servers, operating systems, hard drives, solid state drives and external storage enclosures. Solutions built around LSI offer high levels of reliability you can count on for the long term. With extensive compatibility testing, strong data protection features like SafeStore software and I/O performance that can help drive productivity, LSI becomes the clear choice for addressing patient and professional concerns about fast, reliable access to vital data.
