The hospital planned to migrate all business systems from the Mobile Transition Cloud to the newly built Mobile Industry Cloud. The migration covered 372 virtual machines (Windows: 231; CentOS: 99; Ubuntu: 42) and 14 Oracle RAC bare-metal servers, supporting 36 vendor-provided systems, including the core HIS, EMR, CDR, PACS, rational drug use, and ICU management systems.
