Merge Healthcare Selects Dell as Preferred Provider of Cloud-Based Services
October 06 2011 - 7:04AM
Merge Healthcare (Nasdaq:MRGE), a leading provider of enterprise
imaging and interoperability solutions, announced today that it has
selected Dell as a preferred provider of cloud computing services,
storage and enterprise hardware products to simplify information
access, management and archiving among its portfolio of image
interoperability solutions.
Through its secure cloud-based Unified Clinical Archive
solution, Dell manages more than 4 billion medical images and
studies for healthcare organizations. Utilizing its cloud-based
health information technology, Dell will host Merge Healthcare's
Project Honeycomb, the nation's largest medical image sharing
network. With Project Honeycomb, providers can upload,
download, view and share diagnostic quality medical images – at no
cost.
For providers who want on-premise image management, Merge has
certified its iConnect Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) on Dell's DX
Object Storage platform, providing intelligent access, storage,
protection and distribution for the fixed digital image content
managed by Merge Healthcare's iConnect VNA. The data and storage
management features inherent in Dell's systems combined with
Merge's iConnect offering will enable healthcare providers to
manage their critical medical images in a highly secure and
efficient manner.
Merge will integrate its solutions within the DX platform, using
Dell's capabilities to provide a highly-available, cost-effective
VNA offering. By utilizing the data management features of the DX,
iConnect VNA will offer advanced features such as federated
storage, business continuance and nested image retention and
deletion strategies.
"The combination of Merge and Dell enables secure and scalable
onsite and cloud-based solutions that strengthen the coordination
of patient care among healthcare stakeholders," said Jeff Surges,
CEO of Merge Healthcare.
"Dell is pleased to work with Merge to enable our customers to
support innovation in healthcare through more efficient use of IT,"
said David Zirl, Ph.D., area vice president for Dell Healthcare and
Life Sciences solutions. "Digital medical information is growing at
an unprecedented rate. Advanced on-premise and cloud-based
solutions can break down traditional information silos by allowing
healthcare organizations to securely manage, store and share that
data as needed to coordinate patient care."
