Overview
Shenzhen University General Hospital | Tertiary Grade-A Hospital
Country: China
Industry: Healthcare
Solution: i2CDP, i2FFO, i2Availability (Integrated on a third-party hyper-converged platform)
The hospital operated two production data centers with critical systems such as HIS, LIS, RIS, and PACS under storage-level protection. However, it lacked a full disaster recovery system capable of automated failover, DR drills, and multi-level recovery measures. The hospital required a solution to enable real-time synchronization, cross-room switching, and fast recovery in case of cyberattacks like ransomware.
Customer Challenge
- Lack of DR readiness — No complete disaster recovery system beyond storage hardware.
- Continuity risk — No automated failover or unified recovery mechanism.
- Cybersecurity threats — Needed ransomware protection and rapid data restoration.
I2 Solution
- Continuous Data Protection (i2CDP): Real-time backup to safeguard against ransomware and logical errors.
- Full Failover (i2FFO): Unified full-machine backup across physical and virtual systems on a hyper-converged platform.
- High Availability (i2Availability): Cross-platform disaster recovery ensuring fast takeover of critical services.
- Unified Management Platform: Visualized operations reduced IT workload and improved efficiency.
Solution Effects
- Achieved real-time data synchronization and seamless failover between two hospital data centers.
- Ensured both data-level and application-level recovery with layered DR strategies.
- Fully met national standards for Tertiary Grade-A hospitals (RPO ≤ 10 minutes, RTO ≤ 15 minutes).
- Strengthened resilience against both physical and logical fail
