Agfa becomes authorized dealer of InSiteOne products

Agfa Healthcare and InSiteOne Inc. this week solidified an authorized dealer agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, Agfa customers gain access to InSiteOne's InDex line of secure integrated DICOM storage systems. These complement Agfa's variety of on-site systems for capturing and storing digital medical images, which include RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks), storage area networks (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), content addressed storage (CAS), MOD, DVD, and tape libraries.

The new agreement enables Agfa and InSiteOne to assist clients in meeting their long-term image storage and archiving requirements on a fee-per-study basis without the need for facility management and long-term hardware scalability.
