A large hospital's PACS is approaching its short-term storage capacity, leading to increased costs and performance degradation. The imaging informatics administrator needs to implement a strategy to manage the data growth effectively. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate long-term solution?
-
A
Purchase additional high-speed, Tier 1 storage to expand the current capacity.
-
B
Implement an Image Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy to automatically migrate older, less frequently accessed studies to a lower-cost archival tier.
-
C
Routinely delete all studies older than two years to free up space.
-
D
Enable a higher level of irreversible (lossy) compression on all new images to reduce their file size.
