Texas hospital taps Iron Mountain for vendor neutral archive
Texas Regional Medical Center has chosen Iron Mountain's vendor neutral archive (VNA) and cloud storage system to manage its imaging data.
The Dallas-based hospital will implement Iron Mountain's VNA to lower overall medical data storage costs, provide caregivers access to images and improve disaster recovery by moving data securely offsite, according to Iron Mountain.
Iron Mountain also announced the addition of retention and lifecycle management functionality to its VNA to help hospitals identify, archive or destroy obsolete medical data. Iron Mountain's VNA manages the archiving process and data are tiered so inactive data are stored over time; destruction is managed based on policies created within the VNA to destroy data that have exceeded the required retention period, the company said.
