(January 27, 2000)
Milpitas, CA - DISC Inc. (NASDAQ: DCSR), a leading manufacturer of automated
library solutions for enterprise storage, announced today that eMed would
include DISC's storage product line in it's Archive Management suite.
DISC's optical storage libraries, ranging in capacity from 104 GBs to
5 TBs of data create the ideal archive for the medical marketplace offering
long-term, secure storage and fast retrieval of images at a reasonable
price. Relative to RAID systems, Disc's optical libraries provide customers
large capacity storage at a fraction of the cost of online solutions.
DISC's 5.25" magneto optical (MO) storage devices are combined with
eMed software as part of their FRAMEWAVE Compression Archive, allowing
customers the ability to securely store images from multiple sites, thereby
creating a central archive location for images throughout the enterprise.
Disc's scalable library configurations store up to 1,070 MO disks. The
high-performance of the storage devices allow users to quickly review
medical images and related patient information at their review area.
Both DISC and eMed aim to offer unmatched price and performance at any
scale. eMed's products permit the coordinated transmission and review
of medical images, and related patient information, over local and wide
area networks as well as the Internet. Disc's magneto optical libraries
and disks with the highest possible data density (5.2GB per disk) are
used to maximize cost effective image archival. This combination provides
immediate and reliable access to images for healthcare professionals.
"Today the healthcare industry is faced with an increasing demand
for cost-effective image management solutions that support the evolution
of diagnostic imaging from a film-base to an electronic, information-based
enterprise," stated J. Richard Ellis, DISC President and CEO. "We
are pleased to provide eMed with a reliable image archive that is fully
scalable to meet the growing demands of their customers' image-management
systems."
