Rorke Leverages
Low-Cost Serial ATA (SATA) With New LUN-Aware Switch Platform
Rorke Data will demonstrate a new Storage Services Switch Platform at the 2003 RSNA event
(Booth 1315). The new switch features per-port-processing that guarantees QoS per LUN.
This means that midsize and enterprise-class users can rely on wire speed
performance, regardless of their existing mission-critical storage environment for example
(HP, EMC, BM, or SUN) and simultaneously leverage low-cost SATA-based RAID storage for
second-tier applications.
The switch provides an intelligent fabric environment, which enables network-based
mirroring, replication, and back-up applications that can be assigned directly to the
lower-cost Rorke SATA storage. The Rorke SATA RAID storage can be mirrored behind the
switch to achieve an extremely high-availability storage environment that operates
seamlessly with the users existing mission-critical storage hardware platform and
applications, ultimately reducing TCO as well as the total cost of storage across the
entire use environment.

Gray Scale Ultrasound Phantom
The Gray Scale Phantom can be used on all diagnostic ultrasound machines.
This ultrasound phantom is an ideal training tool for learning optimum system setup and
evaluating system performance. The Model 047 enables evaluation of gray scale sensitivity
with a range of transducer frequencies. More than 20 different contrast targets can be
viewed with either a circular or elliptical cross-section. Scatter is controlled
independently from attenuation, and masses are angled for continuous assessment over a
range of depths.
