Data Storage Architecture

This Discovery data storage architecture is described in this article. The model presented here is a high level overview and avoids drilling down to technical elements of the storage software, which as one would expect, is constantly evolving.

The objective of this architecture is to align the physical aspects of data storage to governance and ownership arrangements in a way that enables an à la carte approach to some elements of the service. The effect of this is to enable a range of organisation groupings to use the service. This can vary from a single small organisation through to a large scale integrated care system.
