File Storage recommendations

Our technical specialists are happy to help you calculate your file storage needs.

Backup

Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery systems are imperative for any medical practice. You should involve a qualified IT professional in developing systems that work for your particular practice.
Full backups, not incremental backups, should always be made, with a method for regularly verifying the integrity of the backup.

Virtualization

SYSTOC can run in a virtualized environment. Because of the complex nature of virtualization, we recommend that you have a qualified IT professional assist you during setup and to periodically measure performance.
