IBM is to build a virtualized infrastructure to aid Hong Kong-based healthcare providers in consolidating physical servers and moving them to the cloud, the company has announced.
According to the release, the company will complete a project that includes consolidating more than 100 servers into a cloud environment that will host Quality HealthCare Medical Services‘ mission critical systems.
QHMS serves 600 medical centers in Hong Kong and Macau.
The company says the new infrastructure will reduce information technology maintenance and disaster recovery costs. In addition, the server infrastructure includes an automated centralized back-up system of IBM System Storage DS3500 Express.
QHMS wants to use IBM’s Cognos Business Intelligence program to standardize and centralize healthcare related information and be able to monitor services running on different systems more efficiently.
IBM says Microware helped deliver the project with system analysis and infrastructure design consultation. The project is expected to be complete by the end of 2011.
