Westerly-based Heartlab, Inc. announced that it is increasing the capacity of its StoreSafe DVD archive. Heartlab will use double layer DVD technology from PowerFile, Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif.
“PowerFile’s double-layer DVD technology will enable Heartlab to provide hospitals with even faster access to more patient records,” said PowerFile chief executive officer Kirk Dunn. “PowerFile DVD libraries are much more cost-effective over time than tape and disk. The new double-layer DVDs will enable Heartlab customers to store and access nearly twice as much data in the same compact, modular, rack-mountable unit.”

PowerFile became the first vendor to incorporate double-layer DVD technology into its DVD storage libraries when it introduced its R200DL DVD read/write library. Double-layer DVDs have two information layers that can be written and read independently. Data on both layers is accessed from the same side of the disc, enabling the discs to be labeled for efficient media management. Like single-layer DVDs, double layer DVDs can be read in any DVD-ROM, the company said in a release.
Heartlab’s new generation StoreSafe DVD archive is based on the R200DL double-layer DVD design. It allows hospitals to archive and access nearly twice the number of cardiology images and information at twice the speed of previous Heartlab models. The new StoreSafe archive is the same size as previous generations of the product. In addition to double-layer DVDs, StoreSafe can also archive and access data and images on single-layer DVDs.
