Overview
Central South University Xiangya Hospital
Country: China
Industry: Healthcare
Solution: i2NAS
The hospital needed to migrate archived data from its old PACS storage to new PACS storage devices, synchronize data between the two, and implement disaster recovery protection for multiple PACS systems. These systems handle rapidly growing medical imaging data in compliance with regulations for the retention of electronic medical records and related materials.
Customer Challenge
- Massive PACS image archives — Required bulk migration from legacy storage to new PACS devices.
- Continuous availability requirement — PACS systems could not experience downtime during migration.
- Cross-platform compatibility — Needed to synchronize data between heterogeneous storage devices.
I2 Solution
- i2NAS large-scale data disaster recovery management software — Migrated old PACS archive data to the new system.
- Bidirectional synchronization — Maintained real-time data consistency between old and new PACS storage.
- Disaster recovery takeover — Enabled quick PACS system recovery via the DR platform in case of failure.
- Client-free deployment — Eliminated the need to install agents on NAS devices.
Solution Effects
- Decoupled PACS image data from underlying NAS devices for flexibility.
- Achieved seamless, cross-platform data synchronization.
- Resolved limitations of NAS devices lacking real-time sync capabilities.
- Ensured uninterrupted PACS services and overall hospital business continuity.
