FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fujitsu and Software Architects
to Provide Data Security with New Write-Once Technology
New Functionality Provides an Easy and Affordable
Way to Secure Important Records as Part of a Comprehensive
HIPAA Program
San Jose, CA, February 14, 2005 —
Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., a leading
provider of removable storage solutions, today announced
that its full line of rewritable 3.5" Magneto-Optical
(MO) DynaMO® drives will support a new Write-Once
Read Many (WORM) format which provides medical professionals
and solution providers an easy way to archive important
files for permanent record retention, including complete
record version history.
With the onslaught of new regulatory compliance standards,
it is now more important than ever for medical practitioners
and administrators to safely retain records with complete
version history. With the new Storage Architects Disk
Drive TuneUp!™ for Windows version 4.5 installed,
MO users simply format standard rewritable 3.5"
Fujitsu MO disks in the optional "archive"
format. All files can then be written permanently to
the disk, preventing accidental deletions or alterations
of patient records. Disk Drive TuneUp! for Windows also
provides a tool to easily view a complete revision history
of all data stored to the MO archive disk.
"For years Fujitsu MO technology has enjoyed the
support of consumers and professionals looking for a
reliable and affordable removable storage and archival
solution that will protect their most important data
from damage and loss," said Dan Dalton, director,
Optical Products, Fujitsu Computer Products of America.
"Now with Disk Drive TuneUp! for Windows, Fujitsu
users can easily archive important files for permanent
record retention, including complete record version
history,"
The full line of Fujitsu 3.5" MO removable storage
drives, includes the high-performance 2.3GB Fujitsu
DynaMO 2300U2 and the ultraportable 1.3GB DynaMO 1300
Pocket. Costing less than a penny per megabyte, Fujitsu
MO disks are enclosed in a 3.5" floppy-sized cartridge
and protect data from shock, vibration, moisture, dust
and magnetic fields and have an estimated data archival
life of 50 years*.
Write-Once technology is powered by the Software Architects
Disk Drive TuneUp! for Windows, which utilizes unique
features in the Universal Disk Format (UDF) that allow
a fully rewritable Magneto-Optical disk to become a
permanent archive WORM disk. Disk Drive TuneUp! for
Windows provides Fujitsu users an easy and affordable
way to archive important files for permanent record
retention, including complete record version history.
The ability to permanently archive medial records and
files, along with their version history, is an essential
component of a comprehensive HIPAA program.
Fujitsu will showcase the new solution at the HIMSS
(Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society)
Conference & Exhibition, February 13-17, 2005 in
Dallas, Texas. To see a live demonstration, stop by
