Case Study: Hackensack Radiology Group improves patient care with Nexsan storage

Hackensack Radiology Group protects patient images with Nexsan’s 24TB archive and 7TB cache

Hackensack Radiology Group (HRG), a leading regional provider of diagnostic radiology services, faced a significant data storage challenge due to rapidly advancing imaging technology. Larger image files from new mammography and CT studies placed an enormous burden on their traditional storage infrastructure, demanding a solution that could scale for capacity while providing immediate, secure access to meet patient care needs and HIPAA regulations. They partnered with storage vendor Nexsan to address their primary image cache and long-term archive requirements.

Nexsan implemented a multi-product solution featuring their Edge NAS with a SATABoy for a fast primary cache and two Assureon secure archive systems for long-term storage. The Assureon systems provided automatic replication between HRG's two facilities, ensuring data integrity, disaster recovery, and immediate image availability. This solution provided HRG with a cost-effective, scalable, and secure archive that met all compliance needs and guaranteed business continuance, allowing them to immediately resume patient care even if one site became unavailable.
