The remarkable advances in technology over the past several years have created a medical revolution. Today’s healthcare technology has dramatically enhanced the way professionals like you diagnose and treat patients. Yet this same technology has also created a challenge — vast amounts of patient data that must be kept securely for the life of the patient. The sheer amount of data, along with ever more stringent government requirements creates a challenge for healthcare organizations. Fortunately, there is a solution that is both cost-effective and more secure than any alternative on the market today — the Alliance UDO Archive Appliance Express (AA Express).
Diagnostic and imaging clinics with limited IT resources can’t waste time and money on solutions such as outdated tape-only backup solutions that are ill-suited for long-term, easy access to patient records. And disk-only systems fail to meet the long-term data retention requirements of the healthcare industry due to their limited life expectancy.
The AA Express is designed in collaboration with leading medical integrators specifically for medical facilities like yours. Unique blue laser technology permanently stores vital patient data on UDO (Ultra Density Optical) media designed to meet HIPAA regulations for longevity and authenticity. Further, the AA Express is the only true long-term archiving product on the market today, with media built to be virtually immune to temperature change, water, humidity and even powerful magnetic fields that would render lesser products useless. With an operating life of more than 50 years and a shelf-storage life of more than a century, it’s easy to see why so many clinics are turning to the AA Express.

Alliance's UDO media give you the flexibility to meet today’s diverse archive requirements. The media are available in Rewritable and two different WORM (Write Once Read Many) formats. All three formats are offered in 30GB UDO1 and 60GB UDO2 capacities.
True Write Once media use a hardware-based WORM technology to ensure that the recording surface cannot be erased or altered. This provides the highest level of data authenticity that cannot be matched by tape or disk technologies using software-based WORM emulation.
Compliant Write Once media has the same operational properties as True Write Once media with the added ability to physically destroy or “shred” individual records that have expired. This enables you to meet corporate governance regulations on data retention and disposition.
Rewritable media allow archive data to be erased and rewritten. They are ideal for more general archive requirements that demand data longevity, while allowing older records to be deleted and media space reclaimed.
