American Megatrends India has recently done pioneering work on the Kalaignar's Kapitu Tittam by implementing Storage Solution; StorTrends. Kalaignar's Kapitu Tittam is a state health insurance scheme by the current government to provide the health insurance cards for below poverty line families. The storage systems were installed in partnership with Eagle Software.

StorTrends 3200n is a model of IP NAS storage unit of 32 TB capacities along with 3 JBODs offering a raw capacity of 128TB. The primary role will be to record & store all informations and data fed into the computer hard disk. This will facilitate in locating and retrieving millions of data at any given point of time.

Features of the StorTrends 3200n
  * Allows for storage of vital patient information
  * Provides access to a health care provider's data base using plastic cards.
  * Professional health card terminals that read the patients' details from the Health card.
  * Simultaneous update of patient details in the health card as well as database. Consistent, accurate and secured card management system

Commenting on this, Mr. Sridharan Mani, Director and CEO of American Megatrends India said, "The government today has the biggest allocation of funds for IT. This is not just for data storage availability but also for its management. In this sector data centers are the key as their design should be in line with the requirements as laid out in TIA 942 specifications for Tier II Data Centre ensuring an uptime of 99.74%. this makes technologies such as disaster recovery, replication and high availability as the lifeline of any storage installation. Rest assured, our StorTrends solutions offers the best in all these areas."

When Eagle Software started off with the state government insurance scheme, they needed reliable, redundant centralized storage system to consolidate this critical data with vertical scalability to meet the data growth.

AMI India selected the StorTrends 3200n in response to the requirements of Eagle Software. Eagle Software use a field application for collection of various data including the photograph, finger print along with the personal data of the individuals. This data collected in the field needs to be archived in a central storage system for reference whenever required.

StorTrends 3200n of IP NAS storage unit of 32 TB capacities along with 3 JBODs offering a raw capacity of 128TB is the most suited for this project since the data generated is voluminous, the storage system needs to be scalable seamless. Data redundancy, protection and availability are of atmost importance as the data should be available whenever required. And above all the solution is scalable, robust and cost effective storage solution to archive and protect the critical data. AMI India's storage system has generous 128 TB of raw capacity for archival and protection of data. The system also has drive protection using RAID 6 apart from 0, 1 & 5. AMI's superior Re-direct on write (RoW) based snapshots provide protection against logical failures.
