Accuray Taps Overland Storage - Analyst Blog
Leading radiosurgery systems maker Accuray
Incorporated (ARAY) has chosen data management and data
protection solutions provider Overland Storage
(OVRL) to boost the data storage capabilities of its radiosurgery
systems.
The California-based company has selected Overland’s SnapServer
N2000 storage solution to augment the data storage capacity of its
popular CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery systems, which has been
already used to treat more than 100,000 patients
globally.
During treatment using CyberKnife, a session can generate
250-500 megabytes (MB) of patient treatment data. With each patient
typically requiring one to five treatments, data storage becomes a
critical issue.
To load a treatment plan into the CyberKnife system, clinics
have to rapidly transfer 250-750MB of data. The SnapServer N2000
enables fast data transfer and increases data availability for
their clinical users.
Accuray is a global leader in the field of radiosurgery and
provides a non-surgical treatment option for patients diagnosed
with cancer. The company continues to enjoy healthy demand for the
CyberKnife systems.
CyberKnife
continues to gain significant traction in the global medical
communities, thereby boosting Accuray’s sales. The company is
pursuing a number of strategies to expand CyberKnife’s
adoption.
Accuray’s CyberKnife system boasts of a technology that
differentiates it from traditional treatments. CyberKnife, a
non-invasive alternative to conventional surgery, is the first and
only commercially available intelligent robotic radiosurgery system
designed to treat solid tumors anywhere in the body. Patients can
be treated with CyberKnife without anesthesia and without the risks
and complications inherent in traditional surgery.
Accuray is expected to benefit from the recent recovery in
hospital capital equipment spending. Moreover, the company is well
placed to bolster its foothold in the radiation oncology market
with its acquisition of rival TomoTherapy
(TOMO).
However, Accuray remains susceptible to reimbursement
uncertainties surrounding its products and its CyberKnife system
faces stiff
challenges from competitive product offerings of
Varian Medical (VAR). We are currently Neutral on
Accuray.
