Shanghai MicroPort Medical (Group) Co., Ltd.
Country: China
Industry: Medical Devices / Manufacturing
Solution: Multi-Layered Disaster Recovery and Backup on Huawei Cloud
Founded in 1998 in Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, MicroPort is an innovative high-end medical device group. With rapid business expansion, the company built a private cloud based on Huawei Cloud, alongside VMware and HCS virtualization platforms. To ensure business continuity, MicroPort required a resilient disaster recovery center capable of real-time synchronization and rapid failover in the event of local data center failure.
Customer Challenge
- Mission-critical operations — Production systems ran on VMware and HCS; any data center outage would halt production and extend recovery time.
- Business continuity — Required a remote DR site on standby for rapid failover.
- Data protection — Needed real-time synchronization, continuous protection, and multiple backup layers to safeguard critical applications and data.
I2 Solution
- Real-time data synchronization for core business systems.
- Continuous data protection (CDP) for critical applications.
- Full machine backups for key applications.
- Traditional scheduled backup to ensure historical data retention.
- Cross-site protection: Backups replicated from local to remote DR site on Huawei Cloud, enabling future independent recovery capabilities.
Solution Effects
- Resilient production systems — Achieved real-time synchronization and rapid failover to Huawei Cloud DR center.
- Multi-layered data protection — Combined real-time sync, CDP, full backups, and scheduled backups for comprehensive coverage.
- Operational continuity — Prevented major business disruption from accidental deletions, ransomware, or system failures.
- Direct file availability — Real-time file sync enabled immediate file access and use at the DR site.
