Solution: Multi-Site Database Disaster Recovery & Continuous Data Protection
East China Hospital operates a large-scale healthcare network across its main campus and outpatient centers in Minhang and Pudong. To ensure stable, high-performance operations for its mission-critical HIS database and other core systems, the hospital collaborated with Info2soft to deploy an integrated data protection and disaster recovery architecture.
Customer Challenge
- The Oracle 11g RAC-based HIS database struggled to handle growing read/write demand from expanding applications.
- Frequent database pressure created high crash risk, threatening business continuity.
- Branch systems lacked disaster recovery, leaving key services vulnerable to data loss or downtime.
- The hospital required a unified solution to enhance reliability, availability, and operational efficiency.
I2 Solution
- Comprehensive Server and Data Protection:
Deployed disaster recovery appliances across all sites, integrating i2CDP for real-time database file replication, i2FFO for full server protection, and i2VP for virtual machine backup. - Core Database Synchronization:
Implemented i2Active for semantic-level, real-time replication within high-concurrency Oracle environments. Combined full and incremental synchronization ensured accurate and timely data transfer between production and standby systems.
Solution Effects
- Achieved read-write separation for the HIS database, reducing primary RAC load.
- Minimized crash risk and enhanced stability of core hospital systems.
- Established comprehensive disaster recovery across main and branch campuses.
- Simplified IT maintenance with centralized monitoring and visualized management.
- Ensured compliance with healthcare data protection and DR regulations.
