Megazone Consortium Successfully Establishes Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Center at Seoul National University Hospital

The Megazone Consortium successfully completed the construction of a cloud-based disaster recovery (DR) center for Seoul National University Hospital.

The Megazone and Megazone Healthcare Consortium built a DR center (BESTBunker!) over approximately one year starting in May of last year, enabling Seoul National University Hospital to operate even in the event of a disaster for major systems including HIS (Hospital Information System), PACS (Picture Archiving & Communication System), and groupware.

The Megazone Consortium focused on real-time replication of all medical data and related operational systems and automatic failover in case of failure, minimizing service interruptions in medical care and business operations at Seoul National University Hospital even in the event of a complete system failure due to major disasters, fires, hacking, and other incidents.

This project is evaluated as the first DR system in domestic medical institutions that goes beyond simply replicating data to replicate the entire hospital business system.

The Megazone Consortium performed ▲Design and construction of a private cloud DR center based on SDDC (Software Defined Data Center) ▲Establishment of a DR system for Seoul National University Hospital's critical business systems such as HIS and PACS ▲Establishment of a disaster recovery protocol system optimized for large medical institutions ▲Development of DR switchover and simulation training scenarios.

Dae-young Ko, Executive Director of Megazone who oversaw this project, said, "The construction of this DR center implements an advanced disaster recovery system that goes beyond simple data recovery to real-time replication and automatic switchover of hospital core systems," and added, "Going forward, we will actively work on technical support and infrastructure advancement so that domestic medical institutions can continue medical care and operations without interruption even in unexpected disaster situations."
