EN The amount of medical video data that has to be securely stored has been growing exponentially. This rapid expansion is mainlycaused by the introduction of higher video resolution such as 4K and 8K to medical devices and the growing usage of telemedicineservices, along with a general trend toward increasing transparency with respect to medical treatment, resulting in more and moremedical procedures being recorded. Such video data, as medical data, must be maintained for many years, resulting in datasetsat the exabytes scale that each hospital must be able to store in the future. Currently, hospitals do not have the required informationand communications technology infrastructure to handle such large amounts of data in the long run. In this paper, we discuss thechallenges and possible solutions to this problem. We propose a generic architecture for a holistic, end-to-end recording andstorage platform for hospitals, define crucial components, and identify existing and future solutions to address all parts of thesystem. This paper focuses mostly on the recording part of the system by introducing the major challenges in the area ofbioinformatics, with particular focus on three major areas: video encoding, video quality, and video metadata.
