Storage Management
Pre- PACS Ready Data replication
All DICOM studies sent to Perennity are stored locally A copy can automatically be made to secondary storage
NAS (Network Attached Storage) Silent Cube for long term archiving External cost-effective HDD Network share on a server All we need is a UNC path !
Study deletion is performed by the Dicom Server
You may still decide how many days you want to keep the images Expired images were formerly deleted by the Dicom Burner Makes more sense to delegate deletion process to the Dicom Server
Perennity Level 1B (archive only) does not have the Dicom Burner
History is always kept in the database
Used to be an option
