As study volumes continue to increase across our network, we predicted that our previous infrastructure would eventually struggle to maintain efficiency and prevent bottlenecks. The traditional DICOM workflow engine was unable to handle the increasing load, leading to uneven distribution of work across servers and potential data loss.
To address these challenges, Everlight sought a dynamic platform and a trusted partner. After a rigorous evaluation process, Everlight partnered with DataFirst, whose deep expertise and cutting-edge technology offered a customized solution that could meet Everlight's immediate needs and scale with its future growth.
DataFirst's Silverback® platform was deployed to:
- Create and track unique identifiers: Ensure accurate tracking and routing of DICOM studies.
- Load balance studies: Distribute workload evenly across servers, preventing bottlenecks.
- Deploy high availability: Minimize downtime and data loss.
- Accept and route studies: Handle studies from various sources and destinations.
- Export DICOM objects: Store images in S3 for efficient storage and retrieval.
- Prevent data loss: Identify and mitigate risks associated with data slowness and loss.
The benefits of working with Datafirst have included optimised workload distribution and reduced processing times resulting in increased efficiency; enhanced reliability and increased uptime and minimized data loss.
It also means our platform is fully scalable, designed to grow with Everlight's expanding operations and increased reporting volumes.
Speaking about the partnership, Everlight Radiology CTO Andy Donaldson says, “The Silverback DICOM routers have been a game changing part of our imaging architecture, allowing us to further our growth and scalability. Our partnership with the DataFirst team is going to continue long into the future.”
As Everlight continues to innovate and expand its services, the Silverback® platform will provide a solid foundation for future growth. Its intelligent capabilities and adaptability make it the ideal solution for imaging enterprises of all sizes.
