What is Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA)?

Vendor Neutral Archive or VNA is one of the most frequently discussed terms among PACS vendors and users. However, there was no definite description of VNA in PACS community. So an important question is appearing now, what is the accurate definition of VNA?
A "true" Vendor Neutral Archive or VNA is an enterprise archive that is centralizing storage and managing diagnostic images throughout several different Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS). Vendor Neutral Archives are covering the need of mobilizing patient data from individual silos, thus, the data can be exchanged in an easier way and the data can also be linked to other patient information in order to establish more complete medical record. A true VNA also allows access to the diagnostic images if the current PACS  is not operational, allowing the access results in achieving higher levels of disaster recovery and business continuity in addition to more control over the long-term preservation of diagnostic images.
