• The heart of the softcopy read system is the server.
  This is the critial unit that accepts all the incoming image information, sorts it, organizes it, and routs it to its proper destination. It is crucial that this piece of medical equipment is reliable and robust. Each component of the server is individually chosen to maximize its performance. Our choice of server board supports dual Intel? Xeon? processors, up to 1MB L3 cache, a 533MHz system bus, and the Intel? E7501 chipset. The board also includes an Ultra320 single-channel SCSI controller, two integrated Intel? PRO Network Connections, and three independent PCI buses. Our server and storage system is completely nonproprietary and customizable.

• ROCOVIEW server & storage solutions allow highly manageable remote service and support.
  A new version of Intel? Server Management provides integrated remote management, event alerting and logging (including e-mail notification), and proactive fault management. The Intel? One Boot Update feature of the Intel? Server Board SE7501BR2, in conjunction with Intel? Server Management, enables the ROCOVIEW service & support team to remotely update a server's BIOS and firmware while the system is running. These updates become active the next time the server is rebooted and, should there be a problem during reboot, the system will roll-back to the last BIOS and firmware versions and continue booting. These capabilities help keep servers up and running minimizing downtime. We ask that the customer purchase at least a one year service/support contract for each ROCOVIEW server and storage solution at the BRONZE level. This will take maximum advantage of the management features of the servers.  Higher levels of support are available.

• Our server & storage solutions grow with you.
  The Intel? Server Board SE7501BR2 allows smooth growth with support for up to 8 GB of ECC DDR266 SDRAM1 using a dual channel architecture for improved performance, six full-length PCI slots with support for PCI-X adapter cards, and support for the Intel? RAID Controller SRCZCR, which provides a low-cost U320 SCSI RAID solution using the on-board SCSI controller. This means you simply add on units as you grow.

• Server and/or storage?
  The main function of the server is traffic control and the main function of the storage unit is to archive images. ROCOVIEW offers a full line of incremental options for image routing and storage. We offer servers and storage systems alone and combination units. Recommended solutions are highlighted below based on your individual image activity and are determined on the FILM & MEMORY page calculation.
