Hitachi Rerolls CAS: Page 3 of 3

"We replicate the metadata and retention policies with the file," says Zaheer.

HDS has lots of CAS competition. Besides EMC and other big players, theres's IBM, which recently unveiled CAS solutions with Bycast. (See IBM Scales Up for Healthcare.)

HDS clearly aims to improve its partnerships with this announcement. While the vendor claims about 50, it could use more. Medical records is one lode to mine, and today HDS announced a deal with Carestream Health, a Rochester, N.Y.-based supplier of medical and dental imaging systems. Carestream has specific imaging software that will be combined with HCAL to form integrated solutions for hospitals and other health facilities.
