How to choose: answering the main questions

How much storage is required for PACS?

A CT scan is 100–500 MB, while an MRI can be up to 1 GB. A clinic with one scanner generates 3–8 TB per year. Archives are built in tiers: recent studies on SSDs, and annual archives on HDD RAID6.

What is important for an HIS (Hospital Information System)?

Database response for registration and medical appointments: SSD/NVMe, 32–64 GB of RAM. Peak load occurs on Monday mornings; we plan for that, not the average.

Requirements for personal data?

Medical data is a special category: storage within the Republic of Kazakhstan, encryption, access control, and logging. We build platforms to meet these requirements with full documentation.
