Best Practice Archiving Principle
I recently heard a best practice for the storage of critical data from Gartner that made quite a bit of sense to me. The principle is to maintain three copies of your critical data and have it stored on at least two different types of media.”

The applications can failover to any of the three archives for access.
UDO TechnologyNext Generation enterprise class archival storage

We were able to recover all of the patient images off of the Plasmon libraries... We are now primarily using the Plasmon UDO Archive Appliance for its long term recoverability.”

UDO Roadmap
• UDO2 Released May 1, 2007 • Max data read rate increased 50% to 12MB/s• Drive Key Security• Will be backward read compatible with UDO1 disks• Will use same software drivers as UDO1
Investment Protection…Investment Protection…
Migrations are a non-Event
Open standards based access to dataNo forklift upgrades
No tight coupling of HW to SWNot subject to Intel’s constant churn of HWData not resident on disks which have 3-5 year average lifespan
Data remains “in-place”UDO media has 50+ year lifeSupport mixing of multiple generations of UDO drive technologyUDO technology provides backward media read/shred capabilityNo issues or outside cost associated with proving “chain-of-control”
Policy based data movementNo media handling required Compact data from multiple older media on to newer higher capacity UDO media

Customer Testimonials
“The UDO Archive Appliance was the only solution that met all of our requirements - HIPAA compliance, security, fast access, longevity and cost.” Sanjay Shah, CIO Cabell Huntington HospitalWest Virginia
“The UDO Archive Appliance is the perfect complement to our GE Centricity PACS. Not only does it provide a scalable, cost-effective way to archive our images, it also doubles as our disaster recovery solution.”Ron HaganRadiology Supervisor / PACS AdministratorLourdes Medical PavilionKentucky
“The customer specifically requested that we use UDO technology for their disaster recovery
strategy, stating tape does not provide the media life they need and disk-based archive systems
are too expensive. UDO was the obvious choice.”
Ulrich Uetz, GE Project Manager Medical University of Hannover
Germany“We looked at disk based systems,
but the reliability was in question - you're not getting that copy to take off-site for DR to store in a vault at Iron Mountain®. It's volatile, and
regardless of how much redundancy or how many copies it makes, if something's corrupt
then it's corrupted.” Scot La Clair, Systems Administrator
Newport ImagingCalifornia
UDO TCO Analysis
“As a matter of fact, our analysis indicates that 12 TB of parity protected Centera capacity is 81% more expensive than a comparably configured automated UDO appliance, and a Centera Mirrored configuration is three times more expensive.”
“A closer look at the results reveals that the cost of a Centera solution is inflated significantly due to the price of software acquisition and maintenance. A more careful examination uncovers noticeable power consumption costs for the disk-based Centera system.”
Brian GarrettAnalyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
