Huawei Transforms Healthcare Services with All-Flash Storage

As healthcare technologies rapidly advance, patients' needs are becoming more diverse. In this context, core business systems, especially HIS (Hospital Information System) databases, must be updated in parallel to ensure the stability and responsiveness of IT systems. Large amounts of healthcare data, such as patient information, medical records, and medication inventories, are generated continuously. To enable more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatment plans, this data needs to be stored and managed securely and efficiently, with doctors, nurses, and researchers having constant access to it.

Therefore, healthcare institutions aim to further strengthen their data infrastructure to enhance the quality and efficiency of healthcare services. Doing this with more agile, stable, and cost-effective data storage solutions has become a priority for healthcare providers.

All-Flash Innovation Makes a Significant Leap in Efficiency

• High Performance, Low Latency: To meet the high data transmission and low latency requirements, OceanStor Dorado’s high-performance all-flash storage products offer end-to-end NVMe support and adopt a dual-controller design. This ensures instant access to medical information in the HIS database. Each controller is equipped with up to 1 TB of cache and 192 cores, providing robust processing power. This design delivers the highest CPU count and cores within a single controller in the industry, ensuring powerful computational power. FlashLink® technology maximizes flash performance by ensuring coordination and connectivity between storage controllers and SSDs.

• High Reliability: Architecturally, the products increase data reliability and business continuity by using next-generation hardware platforms and the ultra-stable SmartMatrix fully connected architecture with a dual-controller A-A structure. For example, the file system and LUN (Logical Unit Number) can directly interact with the underlying storage pool. Compared to traditional architectures, this design offers the shortest I/O path for both LUNs and file systems while providing independent space management, thus enhancing reliability.

• Uninterrupted Services: Upgrading the storage system of a medical system often requires restarting controllers and transitioning tasks between controllers. This can significantly affect performance and require extensive data collection and manual intervention. OceanStor Dorado All-Flash storage allows for upgrades without the need to restart controllers, ensuring that controllers remain active, host connections stay intact, and tasks continue seamlessly.

• Future-Oriented Efficiency: To meet Acıbadem Healthcare Group’s future business expansion needs, Huawei has designed a flexible expansion solution supporting up to 32 controllers. This allows the group to use its current storage system more efficiently, avoiding the need for additional investment.

Finally, in after-sales services, Huawei has established a dedicated team of 10 service specialists in Istanbul and Ankara, providing Hi-Care support with SLA guarantees, ensuring that Acıbadem Healthcare Group always benefits from Huawei's reliable data storage services.

Smart Storage Ensures Stable Growth in the Healthcare Sector
