Iperius Backup vs. Medicai Archive (VNA)

Iperius Backup is a very simple and cheap but absolutely effective solution for small infrastructures. You can use it both on Windows clients and servers, it can integrate with ESXi, MySQL, MSSQL, etc. I think the best way to use it is with their cloud space (Iperius Cloud Storage) that allows you to take care effortlessly of your small customers' data. When it comes to more complex infrastructures, I prefer relying on something different (Nakivo Backup and Replication, Promox Backup Server).

Incentivized

Medical Imaging Centers with multiple locations and tons of imaging data being generated Hospitals with radiology departments and multiple imaging modalities.

• Less than 15' to set up
• It has its own cloud storage solution
• It has a monitoring console
• It's very cost effective

Incentivized

• Archive Medical imaging
• Access Medical Imaging
• Backup and Restore Imaging files

• Lack of clear documentation
• Rsync not supported
• Apparently NFS shares are supported but it's not clear how to use them
• Iperius Console should be improved (it's almost a read-only dashboard and you need too many clicks to get where you want to go)

Incentivized

• Better explain what they do

The company used several free solutions (e.g. Cobian Backup et al.) but they were outdated and there was no standardization, nor a simple way to monitor all the backup jobs. Iperius had all the key features needed for the task and the project is very much alive (regular new releases).

Incentivized

Newer technology stack, better cost for storage, better retrieval of old imaging files

• One standard solution for small customers
• One console to monitor backup jobs

Incentivized

• 50-70% decrease in storage cost
• 10x faster retrieval of medical imaging from archive
