About Philips HCIS
Philips HCIS is an image storage and distribution system that provides fast and user-friendly access to images from multiple modalities. Philips HCIS supports clustering, scaling to millions of studies per year and hundreds of concurrent users.
For caregivers to work effectively, peak performance of Philips HCIS applications is crucial. Doctors demand instant image and data retrieval, zero downtime, and systems which are easy to maintain with simple security updates.
Clustering multiple load balanced Philips HCIS servers provides product managers with a fast, cost-effective, highly available and scalable solution, in an environment where study volume is ever increasing.
Key benefits of load balancing
In an industry where uptime saves lives, our extensive experience means we can design unbreakable solutions to enterprise imaging’s unique challenges. Learn how to load balance Philips HCIS for a solution that is:

How to load balance Philips HCIS
A typical deployment uses our ultra-fast Layer 4 Direct Routing DR Mode – sometimes referred to as Direct Server Return (DSR) – to combine fast, highly available storage with unrestricted image retrieval. This high-performance solution requires little change to your existing infrastructure.
A Philips HCIS server deployment can also be load balanced with Layer 7 SNAT Mode, which might be preferable if real servers cannot be changed. With Layer 7, you get to implement smarter load-balancing decisions giving you greater flexibility.
Having partnered with top-tier healthcare vendors, Loadbalancer.org brings expert consultancy and support to all of our deployments. Our extensive experience in Enterprise Imaging means that we understand the challenges you face, and are ready to meet them with tried-and-tested solutions.
