Dicom Systems releases load balancer designed for accelerated DICOM application performance

Campbell, Calif., May 15, 2018—Dicom Systems, a leader in enterprise imaging interoperability and workflows, announced today it has officially released the Dicom Systems Load Balancer designed specifically for DICOM traffic.

Because of new strategies to reduce vendor hardware footprint, the premier diagnostic imaging provider chose the Dicom Systems Load Balancer and high availability for more efficient ingestion. 

"Load balancing our DICOM traffic required a level of sophistication and flexibility that Dicom Systems was able to rapidly deploy. Our enterprise workload is now balanced by a set of algorithms which boosts IT resources and reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest quality care to patients," said Paul J. Smith, Chief Information Officer for DR.

"Dicom Systems is proud to bring DR an application-level load balancer that supports their tremendous growth while enhancing their existing Workflow Unifier HA Cluster. DR's heavy traffic volume and complex Enterprise Imaging environment called for the kind of highly-customized solution we've honed in on," said Dmitriy Tochilnik, President and CTO of Dicom Systems. "The positive response from Unifier customers for the Dicom Systems Unifier routing, query retrieve, DICOM proxies, and tag morphing modules has driven our team to develop a best of breed Load Balancer solution. Now we're excited to make it available to all healthcare organizations that want to accelerate DICOM performance."
