December 1, 2008 | BridgeHead Software has announced the availability of HEAT (Healthcare Enterprise Archive Topology), a set of intelligent solutions for cost-effective long-term retention and compliant management of health care data. HEAT comes in three bundles which are available to suit the specific requirements of small, medium and large health care organizations.  It consists of three tiers of storage, a Sun Fire X4240 server running Windows, a Sun Fire X4540 server and a Sun StorageTek L500 Tape Library integrated with and managed by BridgeHead’s Enterprise Data Archive (EDA) software.  This close integration of software and hardware means that compliance concerns can be met but also the solution is self protecting ‘out of the box’ as it automatically protects and backs up the archived data and metadata.
