Introduction

GE Centricity PACS is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) from GE HealthCare that enables healthcare organizations to store, manage, retrieve, and distribute diagnostic medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound studies. Used by hospitals, imaging centers, and radiology departments, GE Centricity PACS provides clinicians with fast access to medical imaging data while supporting integration with healthcare systems through standards such as Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and Health Level Seven (HL7). In enterprise deployments, high availability and application delivery solutions such as Progress Kemp LoadMaster are required to provide the necessary access to PACS services.

The LoadMaster is used to load balance the GE Centricity PACS workload. The LoadMaster offers advanced Layer 4 and Layer 7 server load balancing, SSL Acceleration and a multitude of other advanced Application Delivery Controller (ADC) features. The LoadMaster intelligently and efficiently distributes user traffic among the application servers so that users get the best experience possible.

This document provides the recommended LoadMaster settings used when load balancing GE Centricity PACS. The Progress Kemp Support Team is available to provide solutions for scenarios not explicitly defined. For further details, refer to the LoadMaster Support and Learning Hub.
