Finally, because of the physical nature of film, storage facilities today must be located in close proximity to the hospital site. Off-site and redundant storage of electronic media entail extra costs for personnel, equipment and physical space. The local server quickly and securely sends images over the Internet or VPN to InSiteOne's digital warehouse servers and RAIDs. The local server can also retrieve images from InSiteOne's digital warehouse on the fly from workstations on the hospital network. These warehouses offer infinite storage, redundancy and disaster recovery.
Clients pay only for the archiving that is used.
Security of the network, storage facility, communications, and storage access is addressed in several layers including firewalls, filtering, digital signatures, encryption, and access control technologies. By leveraging advancements in high-speed Internet and VPN technologies, InDex easily links multiple and remote facilities and delivers services to the medical community on a national level quickly, reliably and securely. These technologies provide a means of transcending traditional physical barriers, which enables InSiteOne to offer its services to a wide geographical market. InSiteOne has formed some initial technology partnerships with more to be announced as the InDex service is rolled out.
