medical treatment

Digital healthcare is a new modern medical method that applies modern computer technology and information technology to the entire medical process, and is the development direction and management goal of public healthcare. With the integration and maturity of digital technology and modern medicine getting higher and higher, hospitals are also actively responding to the national policy of "Internet plus medicine". A certain county hospital (hereinafter referred to as "the hospital") has successfully built a digital healthcare foundation with the help of billions of grams, truly entering the era of "digital healthcare".

The hospital is a county-level hospital that used a traditional IT architecture solution established a long time ago before the upgrade. All business is supported by physical servers. As the hospital continues to expand, the following shortcomings have become increasingly apparent:

Insufficient performance

1. Insufficient computing resources. All business operations were originally run on physical machines, making it difficult to horizontally expand computing resources. With the increase of business volume, the server load is too high, and existing computing resources cannot handle a large amount of access data, resulting in serious access lag problems;

2. The network bandwidth is too low. The main network of the original network architecture adopts gigabit bandwidth to meet the business needs at that time. With the increase of service personnel, the number of access points and traffic has surged, and gigabit business network has become one of the bottlenecks in improving service quality, which cannot meet the current business requirements.

Poor scalability

The operational form of the hospital's physical server determines its scalability, and when resources are insufficient, it becomes difficult to horizontally expand resources.

Management difficulties

Due to the incomplete IT architecture planning of the original data center, multiple devices support different types of business, and there is no unified operation and maintenance management platform. With the increasing aging of equipment, the failure rate continues to increase, making it difficult to locate the source of the failure in a timely manner for fault handling. This also leads to unstable business support, causing great work pressure for operation and maintenance management personnel.

Low safety

The original IT architecture only had the main business system running on two servers with dual machine hot standby, while other businesses ran separately on their respective physical servers. If a server crashes, the business will be directly interrupted and operations personnel will need to solve the problem to restore the business, affecting the overall system service quality.

In order to solve the problems faced by the hospital, Yiwang provides a highly available solution for the hospital from five aspects: the scalability of IT architecture, the simplicity of management, the security and stability of business, the progressiveness of computing, and the utilization of resources.

Business application

All business applications of the hospital are deployed on virtual servers for flexible management and on-demand resource allocation, ensuring stable operation of the business. Supported by a 2U high-performance server on the billions of grams Purley platform, it provides advanced computing resources and superior scalability to meet the expansion needs of various interfaces in hospitals. The intelligent and efficient BMC integrated management module is designed to monitor system voltage and equipment failures in real time, and the user-friendly interface enhances the operation and maintenance experience.

Database application

As an important heavy load business, database applications cannot meet the operational requirements of virtual machines. Therefore, engineers use two 2U Purley platform servers with billions of grams to run in a dual machine hot standby form, providing sufficient computing processing power while ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of database applications.

data storage 

Store all data of the hospital in a disk array, with a multi billion gram disk array using dual control AA mode and redundant design of all modules to avoid equipment unavailability caused by single module failure and ensure stable service provision of equipment; Supports large capacity expansion of hard drives, with multiple functions such as hot swapping, hard drive bad lane repair, hard drive error statistics, fast rebuilding, online volume expansion, link aggregation and switching, KVM virtual machine and container embedding, etc. This time, data is protected through RAID 6 technology to ensure its security and controllability. Using a 16G FC network as the data network to connect servers and shared storage devices, ensuring high-speed data transmission. To ensure data security, a backup all-in-one machine is equipped to add a layer of protection for data security and integrity.

Business mainnet

Using a 10 gigabit network as the main business network, high bandwidth and low latency prevent data access from becoming a bottleneck for the entire system.

Starting from reality and based on the development direction and management goals of public healthcare, Billion Ke has restructured the hospital's original single IT architecture to comprehensively enhance the availability, security, and ease of management of the entire data center.

High availability

Business applications deployed on virtual servers can flexibly configure virtual server resources based on business load, enabling them to quickly process data; By adopting server virtualization, a single or a few physical machines can be restarted in seconds without affecting business usage, and without being perceived by users, ensuring business stability, continuity, and availability; Effectively improve the utilization of server resources through virtualization, and flexibly expand computing resources horizontally according to the expansion of scale.

The database application adopts a dual machine hot backup form to ensure business continuity; The main network of the business adopts 10 Gigabit Ethernet to adapt to a large amount of accessed data, process high-speed transmission, and provide a good user experience for accessing.

High security

All data is stored through billions of grams of disk arrays, and RAID 6 technology is used for data protection at the bottom layer. A backup all-in-one machine is also configured to ensure data security and integrity, with almost zero risk of data loss.

Ease of management

The entire IT organization is mainly focused on server virtualization, which integrates almost all IT resources into management through virtualization platforms, thereby achieving unified management and easily responding to timely handling of fault points.

Through the construction of the digital healthcare infrastructure, the data processing capability of the hospital's IT data center has been effectively enhanced, greatly improving the work efficiency of medical staff. At the same time, the hospital's convenient service capabilities have been optimized, enhancing the patient's medical experience and improving the hospital's slow medical treatment and cumbersome processes, allowing the hospital to truly enjoy the benefits of digital healthcare.
