1. General System Requirements
This document outlined the minimum and recommended hardware, software, and network requirements for Lifetrack PACS. Possible bottlenecks are lack of RAM, CPU speed, and disk transfer rates.
Hardware must meet the minimum specifications or better. Lifetrack’s warranty, service, and support provisions are void when minimum specifications are not met. We strongly recommend meeting or exceeding the specifications to use Lifetrack PACS at the highest performance.
2. Server Hardware and Software Requirements
Considerations in choosing the type of server to install:
– Number of concurrent users
– Volume of cases
– Required level of redundancy
