Comparison Chart for All PACS Models
No two PACS are alike, but the following specifications provide a clear view of each
product's unique features and adherence to current industry standards. Our PACS Digital
Digest compares each technology's configuration, integration with other systems,
protection against data loss, and important market information. Use DOTmed's comparison
tool to create a custom report, or see our expansive chart comparison for all
participating companies. Make sure to visit again as more companies will be including
their information in the weeks and months to come.

| Redundancy/Storage: | AMICAS supports most storage infrastructures but recommends SAN as the foundation of the PACS. Within the SAN AMICAS also recommends varying RAID levels based on the function of each partition. | We use RAID level 5 for image archiving, a local mirror on USB drive and disaster recovery to corporate office and offsite. | We have a mixture of tape back-up solutions, redundant servers and off-site archive options. | Open architecture allows a variety of scalable storage solutions including long-term media: LTO and 9840; spinning disk, DVD jukes, tape jukes, remote storage services; EMC Centera, enterprise solutions (EMC, Hitachi, IBM etc.) | All products are supplied with an automatic back-up process. This is either removable hard drives or USB hard drives. Our process provides TWO back-up copies of all images. We use redundant archives on our larger PACS products and can also support RAID 5. | Short Term Storage: can be replicated or distributed for business continuance. The storage can be deployed as direct attached RAID 5, SAN or NAS. Long Term Storage: can be replicated or GE can provide complete off-site storage for complete disaster recovery. The archive can be NAS, CAS, DVD or Tape. GE offsite ASP storage solution offers fully outsourced management and is offered in selected countries only. | CoActiv Patent-Pending QUAD-REDUNDANT ARCHIVING, which stores all exams live & on-site as well as in two redundant off-site but on-line TIER-IV datacenters as well as burning multiple 25-year archival DVDs, one of which is returned to client for local shelf storage and one retained by CoActiv for additional redundancy. | Any network storage device can be used for storage e.g. server based storage, NAS, SAN. | We use a number of devices, including large RAID systems and we do long term archives on digital library tapes or DVDs. There is a national authority for information technology in Italy and we use optical devices and digital signatures to create Italian-compliant archives. | Site Configurable | Raid 1 or 5 is supported depending on hardware configuration requested. | Primary and secondary systems deployed, RAID 5 storage, co-location service | In system RAID.
