Thermo LabSystems announces the availability of a brochure outlining a new software solution, which has resulted from its collaborative product integration project with IBM Life Sciences
The brochure describes the comprehensive enterprise-wide hierarchical storage solution that has been developed through the integration of Thermo's eRecordManager analytical data archival system with IBM's Tivoli storage manager.
The new brochure presents an overview of business and regulatory challenges confronting science-based industry that are associated with long term storage and retrieval of analytical data as electronic records.
Thermo describes how the combined solution offers an end-to-end solution from the receipt and normalisation of the original instrument raw data, through indexing for ease of searching, to storage on, and migration to, appropriate media. eRecordManager offers science-based industries unique functionality for addressing record-keeping requirements in accordance with regulatory protocols such as the US Food and Drug Administration's 21 CFR Part 11 ruling on electronic signatures and records.
Featuring a powerful library of file format converters, eRecordManager translates instrument data into a platform-neutral format called GAML (Generalised Analytical Markup Language), based on XML (eXtensible Mark-up Language), which frees the data from reliance on the original instrument software for its retrieval.
IBM Tivoli storage manager protects an organisation's data from hardware failures and other errors by storing back-up and archive copies of data in online or offline storage.
IBM Tivoli storage manager scales to support multiple peta-bytes of medical data, it also balances among the need for data accessibility, long-term data retention and protection while managing total costs.
Thermo LabSystems' brochure on eRecordManager's interface with IBM's Tivoli Hierarchical Data Storage Management System is available free of charge worldwide for customers and users from all industries considering their future laboratory informatics requirements.
