Deyang People’s Hospital

Challenges Faced
The IT infrastructure of the data center is primarily based on virtualization and traditional hyperconvergence, with multiple traditional hyperconverged environments. Virtualization only supports basic functions such as computing virtualization and distributed storage, with limited multi-cloud capabilities. Traditional hyperconvergence faces issues like hardware binding, specific configurations, and the inability to reuse existing equipment, which hinders the subsequent construction of a standardized and centralized platform for the hospital. Therefore, Deyang People’s Hospital needs to build an agile and efficient lightweight cloud platform to meet the hospital’s development trends.

Deployment Solution
ZStack HCI hyperconvergence was selected in IDC’s “China Hyperconverged Infrastructure Market Evaluation 2023” report. The IDC report highlights that, unlike traditional hyperconverged products with limited virtualization features, ZStack HCI is a next-generation cloud infrastructure that offers comprehensive cloud computing capabilities to meet diverse customer needs. It enables the creation of simple, stable, secure, and efficient new IT infrastructures.
ZStack HCI hyperconvergence integrates computing, network, and storage resources, forming a unified resource pool that upgrades existing physical servers and virtualization platforms. Additionally, with ZStack HCI’s built-in CDP module, core hospital services are backed up in real-time, ensuring data security.

Benefits

• High Stability to Support Core Hospital Services
  ZStack HCI hyperconvergence, equipped with the CDP backup module, can back up core services such as HIS, LIS, and EMR in real-time based on the hospital’s actual needs, providing strong support for the healthy development of hospital operations and stable information systems.

• Out-of-the-box Cloud, Agile Delivery, Reduced Operational Costs
  ZStack HCI hyperconvergence enables agile delivery, scalability, and reuse capabilities, reducing hardware and software investment costs while avoiding traditional IT siloed development and low resource utilization, effectively improving operational efficiency.

• Seamless Migration via VMware Integration and V2V Migration Module
  By gradually migrating business systems from virtualization to ZStack HCI hyperconvergence using VMware management and V2V migration modules, the hospital can rapidly move business workloads to the cloud and achieve unified management of the virtualized clusters.
