Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Country: China

Industry: Healthcare

Solution: i2CDP Continuous Data Protection; Centralized Data Security Management

As a leading Grade-A tertiary hospital, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital manages critical medical systems such as PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and HIS (Hospital Information System). These platforms store extremely sensitive imaging and clinical data, making data security and business continuity essential. Traditional backup methods were slow and inefficient, unable to meet the hospital’s need for rapid, reliable recovery and real-time protection.

Customer Challenge

• Data security requirements — PACS and HIS servers contain highly sensitive medical data; any data loss or unauthorized access could severely impact clinical operations.
• Protection during transmission & storage — Needed secure mechanisms to prevent data tampering, leakage, and unauthorized access.
• Rapid recovery demands — Traditional backup and restore processes were time-consuming, failing to support real-time clinical workflows.
• Business continuity pressure — System failures or data corruption must be recoverable within minutes to avoid disruption to patient care.

I2 Solution

• Implemented a secure, centrally managed data protection environment tailored for PACS and HIS servers.
• Leveraged i2CDP Continuous Data Protection to provide real-time backup, enabling second-level data recovery.
• Ensured data integrity and high availability, with continuous capture of every write operation.
• Introduced centralized monitoring and unified management to simplify operations and increase device utilization.
• Strengthened network security and access control to protect data during transmission and storage.

Solution Effects

• Enhanced Data Security — Real-time protection and secure transmission mechanisms minimized risks of data loss, corruption, or unauthorized access.
• Real-Time Recovery — CDP technology enabled instant rollback to any point in time, dramatically improving recovery efficiency.
• Improved Business Continuity — Rapid restoration ensured uninterrupted clinical operations even during system faults.
• Reduced Operational Costs — Centralized management simplified maintenance and improved system resource usage.
