Commvault Clinical Archive brings modern data
management of clinical data to healthcare market
Commvault has launched
Commvault Clinical Archive to
modernise the way healthcare
organisations manage, migrate,
and share clinical data. As hospitals
and healthcare providers look to
control costs and improve patient
care, centralising information
management using Commvault
Clinical Archive breaks down data
silos, reduces storage costs and
complexity, enables better data sharing, and eliminates the costs of maintaining and supporting
legacy applications.
Commvault developed a solution built on the Commvault Data Platform and Laitek’s
Semperdata platform to assure data migration and enable easy clinical data management for
healthcare providers. Through this integration, Commvault Clinical Archive becomes the first
solution that can address data management in both the clinical and business sides of healthcare
in a single platform.
As a result, providers can decommission legacy PACS solutions into a single data
management platform, while making legacy studies accessible to new PACS solutions and
available for bulk migration. Furthermore, Commvault Clinical Archive can be used as a vendor
neutral repository for all clinical information that traditional VNAs strive to achieve. The hardware
independent nature of Commvault’s platform supports a full range of cloud, on premise, physical
and virtual environments, to fit each healthcare organisation’s business and patient care needs.

IBM BRINGS OBJECT BASED STORAGE SERVICES TO THE CLOUD
IBM has announced new object based cloud storage services to help clients better manage their
growing volumes of unstructured data. The new IBM Cloud Object Storage will combine technology
from the recently acquired object storage company Cleversafe with the IBM Cloud to provide
enterprises with fast, flexible, hybrid cloud storage-as-a-service solutions.
IBM will provide enterprises a choice of multiple APIs and the option to store massive amounts
of data efficiently on-premise, on the IBM Cloud, or across the two in a hybrid environment, with the
same level of reliability and consistency of technology across all deployment models.
IDC estimates that 80 per cent of new cloud applications are predicted to be Big Data intensive.
Cleversafe object storage technology enables data intensive clients to scale to exabytes of storage,
or billions of gigabytes.
IBM Cloud Object Storage will be available in a variety of licensing models, including perpetual,
subscription, or consumption. With such diverse licensing options, customers will be able to buy
storage capacity with the flexibility to move data between the enterprise and the cloud as business
needs change.

ProLabs launches
new SFP+ module
that extends
the life of Switch
Hardware
ProLabs has announced the
introduction of a 10GBase-T
SFP+ transceiver which will
allow data centre and network
managers the ability to extend the
life of their cabling infrastructure
with a simple, cost effective
upgrade. This is the first in
the range of ProLabs’ copper
products – 2.5/5G Copper SFP
transceivers for the data centre
and G.Fast copper transceivers
for the telecom industry, which
interface with a standard Ethernet
switch, will also be launched later
in the year.
The 10GBase-T SFP+
transceiver pushes the limits
of copper based technology,
providing 10 gigabits of data
transfer over distances of 30m
or less, and replaces the need
for direct attach cables that have
limitations up to 10m.
For its launch, the 10G copper
transceiver will be compatible
with Cisco, Dell, Brocade,
Arista, Juniper, Extreme and
IBM. ProLabs products allow
the interoperability of over 50
OEM providers without affecting
warranties; all ProLabs products
are 100 per cent tested, designed
to comply with industry standard
MSA (Multi-Source Agreements)
and come with lifetime warranties.
