Arraid Products in Healthcare
Hospitals and clinics use complex electro-mechanical devices, such as MRI and CT scanners in the diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses. These devices are driven by general purpose mini-computers, with embedded disk drives and sometimes tape drive data storage.
Scanner time is valuable, both monetarily and for the patients health. Downtime is expensive and to be avoided as much as possible. Unfortunately, while much of the scanner system including the computer and interfaces remain reliable and maintainable, legacy storage products don't. Here, Arraid provides device emulation solutions that protect the Customer's investment by minimizing downtime, and extending the life of the scanner system well beyond that of the original storage device.
For these older computer systems, Arraid provides COTS storage emulation solutions, integrating ARRAIDs proprietary FPGA based solid state Flash Drive (AFD), it can extend the life of mission critical systems and help to insure optimum availability. For SASI/SCSI1/SCSI2 systems we have both JBOD chassis and drop in replacements unsing our solid state SCSI Flash Drive modules. For more current systems, Arraid can provide NAS and RAID storage modules to increase system capabilities and performance.
