A hospital uses an application that stores patient X-ray data in the form

 of large binary objects in an Oracle database. The application is hosted

 on a UNIX server, and the hospital staff accesses the X-ray records

 through a Gigabit Ethernet backbone. Storage array provides storage to

 the UNIX server, which has 6 terabytes of usable capacity.

 a) Explain the core elements of the data centre. What are the typical

 challenges the storage management team may face in meeting the

 service-level demands of the hospital staff?

b) Describe how the value of this patient data might change over time.
