Medical Imaging Solutions Built for Reliability, Stability and Scalability

McKesson's Horizon Medical Imaging™ picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is built on an architecture that ensures stability, performance and scalability of healthcare providers' mission critical infrastructure. By matching deployment models based on network characteristics, geographic distribution of facilities and radiologist reading workflow, Horizon Medical Imaging is able to optimize the infrastructure performance to specific environments while still providing a cost-effective solution -- whether studies are acquired elsewhere, are large and complex, retrieved from another DICOM system, or travel between facilities on low bandwidth networks.

McKesson provides turn-key Horizon Medical Imaging™, including the servers and software for single source provider, and supports deployment on VMware, to leverage your existing virtualization strategy.

Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery options include: data center failover, online replication, archive replication and fault tolerant system design. These options cover every component of PACS so hospitals are able to fully, and quickly, recover complete system operations in the event of a data center failure.

High Availability

Horizon Medical Imaging is built to protect the system operations against database failure with an automatic failover of the database server, which dramatically increases system reliability and immediate data redundancy.

Business Continuance

In the event that a database does go down, activities and programs are designed to return to an acceptable condition, providing data protection, resilience, continued system operation and complete access to all data.
