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.
