Reliable storage systems for

The healthcare sector

Growing data volumes

New generations of devices and new requirements generate more data in shorter time.

Flexible storage systems that grow with requirements.

Compliant archiving

Data in hospitals and radiology departments must be archived in a compliant manner for decades.

Certified hardware WORM storage for PACS/CIS/RIS.

Protection against ransomware

Hospitals and institutions are increasingly being targeted by ransomware attackers.

Modern backup including Air Gap – completely without tapes.

Current situation

PACS, HIS and RIS are generating increasing amounts of data in hospitals and radiology departments. What used to be stored as files in huge basement rooms must now be stored digitally yet securely for the long term. Lawmakers and the GDPR prescribe strict guidelines for audit-proof and data protection-compliant storage.

There is also the rapidly increasing threat of ransomware attacks, which can also seriously affect hospitals. The consequences of such an attack can be minimized by a modern backup strategy with high availability, maximum security and cutting-edge technologies.

FAST LTA is the market leader for compliant archive storage in German hospitals and is also becoming increasingly well-known in the Benelux countries. Since 2008, together with our software and system partners, we have been helping the healthcare sector deal with growing data volumes, legal requirements and the dangers of data loss and manipulation.

Our systems are flexibly scalable.

Whether you start with 2 or 200 terabytes, whether you need to expand to 4 terabytes or 2 petabytes: Our systems adapt flexibly to your data growth and can be scaled at any time – even retroactively – simply by adding new media.

We have a flexible and fair licensing model. As you grow, existing volume licenses are credited: The larger the system gets, the lower the cost per TB.

Our systems are certified.

From the very beginning, we have attached great importance to legal compliance and compatibility during development. This is why our archive storage systems also carry KPMG’s audit-proof archiving certificate, among other things according to GDPR compliance.

However, interaction with your PACS, HIS or RIS is just as important. This is why our archive systems undergo extensive certification and compatibility tests with our software partners. In this way, we ensure a trouble-free connection and ensure trouble-free operation for years to come.

Our systems protect your data.

In times of ransomware and flood disasters, sensitive data needs special protection. Our systems are designed to last decades and incorporate various data protection technologies.

Depending on the storage medium, we use different data storage methods to prevent data loss due to batch errors. Written data is regularly and automatically checked for creeping errors (“bit red”) and automatically restored. Our linear file system with erasure coding and quadruple redundancy, along with continuous snapshots, effectively protects against tampering and accidental deletion.

And replicating data to a second location prevents complete downtime due to disaster or theft.
