Healthcare

Compute and storage for medical imaging, hospital information systems and clinical reporting, sized on study volume and retention policy.

• Imaging tier: All-flash
• Archive: 60 bays
• Controllers: Active-active
• Support: On-site

The challenge

Healthcare IT sits where heavy compute meets strict process. PACS and RIS store and serve terabytes of DICOM that radiologists need immediately, hospital information systems run around the clock, and how long records are kept is set by policy rather than by IT. Equipment also shares space with sensitive medical electronics, and every purchase goes through an empanelment or tender process that asks for specific documentation.

Our approach

NetBytes sizes hospital infrastructure on the things that actually govern it: study volume by modality, the retention policy in force, and which systems are not allowed to pause. Flash tiers carry current studies and priors, ZFS rack storage carries the archive, and dual active-active controllers keep clinical access up through maintenance. Platforms are EMI/EMC tested for environments shared with medical electronics, built under ISO 9001, 27001 and 14001 processes, and supplied with the compliance pack an empanelment or tender asks for.

What makes this workload hard

• Imaging Retrieval Speed PACS and RIS serve terabytes of DICOM that clinicians need immediately. Flash tiers are sized on study volume by modality, not on a headline capacity figure.
• Systems That Cannot Pause Hospital information systems run around the clock. Active-active controllers and clustered hosts let maintenance happen without an outage the applications notice.
• Retention Set Outside IT How long images and records are kept is decided by policy and is rarely negotiable. Archive capacity is planned against that, with room to grow.
• Clinical Electronics Nearby Equipment shares space with sensitive medical devices, which is why EMI/EMC tested platforms matter more in a hospital than in an office.
• Procurement and Audit Empanelment and tender processes ask for compliance statements, datasheets and declarations in specific formats, often at short notice.
• Security Inside the Premises VMS and surveillance infrastructure within the hospital carries its own retention and access requirements alongside clinical IT.

What we deliver

• HIS, PACS, RIS, LIS and EMR platforms Server platforms sized to the clinical systems actually in use, and to their I/O profile rather than to a capacity number.
• All-flash imaging tiers 2U U.3 NVMe arrays for studies and priors a radiologist needs immediately, exposed as iSCSI LUNs or NFS datastores.
• Long-term image archive SNS rack storage to 60 bays with ZFS integrity, snapshots and replication, sized against the retention policy in force.
• Non-stop clinical access Dual active-active controller storage with 32GB cache per controller, so a component can be serviced without an outage.
• Radiology and reporting workstations ECC memory and professional GPUs with ISV-grade drivers, and NVMe boot kept separate from scratch.
• Documentation for tender and empanelment Compliance statements, datasheets, technical annexures and declarations in the formats the process asks for.
