  5. Use Cases for Digital Slides Today • Real-time Integrated Patient Care • Post-Interpretation – Digital Repository • Referred External Studies – Digital Archive

  6. Lessons Learned from Radiology • Enterprise Solutions • Workflow, Capture, Display, Distribution and Storage • Information Technology Support and Sustainment • What is “thought flow” ? • Enhanced Decision Support • Digital Diagnostics on demand • Data Analytics – Automated CAD, 3D, and Image Fusion • Importance Clinical & Technical Standards • Quality Image Display • System interoperability • Clinical Reimbursement

  7. IntroductionWhy providers should care about infrastructure • Speed - Configurable and Reliable Performance • Smart Caching and Data Backups • IT Support: Central Global Storage Dashboard for Dynamic System Administration • Collaboration - Flexible Scalability • Up, Down and across medical specialties • Respond to new data volumes & changes in clinical practice (i.e. CT/MRI protocols) • Diagnostics On Demand supporting Clinical Centers of Excellence • High Availability & Data Integrity • No scheduled downtimes • Automated data migration for hardware upgrades

  8. IntroductionWhat keeps the CIO up at night ! • Affordable system uptime • Eliminate data loss • Scalable without service disruption • Automated data migration for storage and server hardware refresh • Automated disaster recovery

  9. Medical Imaging Storage Challenge • “Always-On” Archive • Mission Critical - Clinical Performance • Reliable Data Integrity • Easy to Manage and Administer • Easy Migration to new hardware • Automated Recovery • Affordable and Scalable Digital Pathology Slide Over 1 GB with compression

  10. Utilization, App Speed & Scalability Data Access, Productivity & Storage Utilization Operating & Mgmt Costs (TCO) Introduction Grids enable three IT functions: • Computation (PC & Server Grids) • Intra and Inter - organizational cycle sharing • Access to computing resources On Demand • Collaboration (Data Grids) • Data Virtualization, Federation & Sharing • Virtual Storage Pooling • Orchestration (Intelligent Provisioning) • Automated SLA management & provisioning • Improved Quality of Service & IT

  11. IntroductionWhy Grid Storage System? Before Grid After Grid Site 3 Site 3 Site 1 Site 2 Site 1 Site 2 ... ... App 1 App 2 App 3 App 4 App 10 App 1 App 2 App 3 App 4 App 10 Grid Storage Platform • “Virtualized” Grid infrastructure: • Smaller, shared & more cost effective storage environment • Adaptive, self healing & self managing • High availability & speed • Enables infrastructure to be managed independent of the application • “Siloed” Traditional architecture: • Difficult & expensive to administer • Low utilization of hardware & storage • Vulnerable to failure and downtime • Bandwidth inefficient • Block level replication

  12. IntroductionPACS and Imaging Architecture PACS Application Study Demographics and Metadata Study Images Application Infrastructure Transactional Data Fixed Content Data Data Store Data Store Fixed Content Data hasunique & specific requirements

  13. Three Tier Medical Imaging Architecture CIS APPLICATION LAYER e.g. Aperio Spectrum Plus, Apollo PACS Clinical Function Image Access IMAGE MGMT LAYER e.g. AcuoMed, Teramedica Evercore Aggregation & Interoperability Image Management Layer STORAGE LAYER Data Protection, ILM Replication, Resiliency & Speed Grid Storage Management System

  14. Centralized Management • Web-based administration • Proactive monitoring • Fault detection & alerts • Real time and historical reports • Multi-tier and multi-site mgmt • Across all storage tiers • Enterprise wide Single operational dashboard for medical image storage across the enterprise

  15. IBM Grid Medical Archive Solution (GMAS) – An enterprise platform that optimizes enterprise storage resources by leveraging automation, grid and virtualization features across all storage brands, tiers and locations Grid Access Manager (GAM) Grid Access Manager Value Proposition: • Protects Data for Life: Digital signatures, Proactive Checking, No Data Loss • Enterprise Solution: All sites (LAN/WAN), All applications, All Storage Tiers and Competitive Storage • Improves Availability and Uptime • Automates Storage Data • Real time failover, automated rebuild, self healing • Challenges: • Affordable system uptime • Eliminate data loss • Ensure data integrity • Scalable without service disruption • Automated data migration for storage and server hardware refresh • Automated disaster recovery
