StorageTek lands new OEM deals

StorageTek has announced remarketing agreements with PACS firms Agfa-Gevaert Group of Mortsel, Belgium, and Kodak Health Imaging Systems of Rochester, NY. The new relationships follow on a deal StorageTek signed last month with Philips Medical Systems of Shelton, CT.

The agreements will allow Agfa, Kodak, and Philips to resell and license the Louisville, CO-based firm’s technology, integrating it into their products and offering their shared customers centralized managed patient information in a transaction-based data archive. In addition, the companies will be able to offer solutions for sharing multi-departmental patient archives, a process StorageTek believes will reduce overall storage costs.

At the 2000 RSNA meeting, StorageTek demonstrated its 9840 tape drive; the L-Series tape libraries (L 20, L180, L700); and Horizon Library software. The L-Series libraries feature a native network port and built-in Web server. StorageTek claims that the Web-based library management capabilities of the L-Series tape libraries offer real-time library monitoring from any location.

When used with the midpoint-load 9840 tape drives, L-Series libraries can store, retrieve, and manage digital information including text, video clips, x-rays, check images, e-business data, and other important, frequently accessed information, according to StorageTek. The L-Series tape libraries also use the vendor’s 4D Robotics tape automation technique.
