• The Problem:

    Data loss would be a disaster for any hospital and medical center. Data such as surgical videos, x-ray images, ct-scans, sonographic results, cardiac catheterizations, patient files and databases need to be protected and secured. Therefore, system integrators are looking for reliable and durable backup solutions for their customers.

    Many system integrators offered tape autoloaders to their customer base as a backup target. However, tape proved to be too complicated and unreliable for this environment.

  • The Solution:

    To solve these issues, the IT provider turned to RDX Library as a tape replacement and the system integrators integrated RDX Library into their backup solution package including software and hardware. Even though there was a new hardware component in the backup solution offering, no change in the backup concept was necessary by the system integrators at new customer sites due to the high flexibility of the Library 8. Existing customer installations can easily be migrated from a tape autoloader to RDX Library without major changes. The tape autoloader mode of the Library 8 is totally transparent to existing backup and archiving applications. In addition, customers benefit from the backward and forward compatibility and can simply switch to higher capacities according to their needs.
