Cisco virtualization technology to shape the medical industry

Recently, Cisco cooperated with Shanghai Tongji Hospital to help Tongji Hospital build new virtualization and hospital private cloud computing platform through its advanced virtualization and unified computing technology. This cooperation has greatly improved the efficiency of Tongji hospital doctors, but also for Tongji hospital to save it costs, the construction of "Green Hospital" to lay a solid foundation.

From the perspective of hospital business needs, Cisco helps customers to deploy data center virtualization applications, with Cisco comprehensive unified virtual machine configuration and management technology, to ensure that Tongji Hospital after the transformation of the network in the virtual network recognition, flow control, security access, dynamic adjustment and other functions with excellent performance.

Aiming at the demand of the network performance of the hospital radiology information Management system, image archiving and communication system, Cisco introduced the industry leading Nexus switch as the core of the network, the Nexus switch has the characteristics of low delay and no packet loss, so it can fully ensure that the large data transmission of medical image is almost instantaneous. Based on this, the Cisco ACE Load Balancing technology and the application of Cisco Unified Computing System Server (UCS) play an important role in eliminating the potential problems of the hospital application system stagnation due to the malfunction of the dual-machine hot standby systems.

Meanwhile, Cisco uses virtualization technology for Shanghai Tongji Hospital to deploy a highly practical "desktop cloud", doctors workstations and other terminals need only input and output operations, the real calculation occurs in the background of the UCS server, so as to ensure that the workstation operation and maintenance of the convenience, It also simplifies the work flow of doctors, improves working efficiency, and provides technical assurance for doctors to serve patients with full service. The power consumption of the doctor workstation terminals has also dropped sharply, with a single machine powering down from 200 watts to 60 watts.

As Cisco's first hospital to deploy private cloud environment in east China, this cooperation not only promotes the innovative development of Tongji Hospital medical informatization, but also has a very important demonstrative significance in the whole medical profession. At the same time, the successful implementation of this deployment has also laid a good foundation for further cooperation between the two sides in the use of virtualization technology to develop community health care and to build collaborative telemedicine. Cisco also hopes to push the successful experience of private cloud and data center construction in medical hospitals to more users, and to make medical informatization benefit the whole nation.
