Case Study: First Hospital of Lanzhou University boosts HIS performance and reliability with Huawei OceanStor

OceanStor Platform Cures Hospital’s HIS Ills

First Hospital of Lanzhou University (FHLU) needed to modernize its Hospital Information System as patient volumes grew and its legacy storage became slow, unreliable, and hard to maintain. The aging environment led to frequent crashes, manual data transfers, storage bottlenecks, and expensive upkeep, putting timely medical service delivery at risk. Huawei provided the OceanStor platform to support the hospital’s core HIS.

Huawei implemented the OceanStor 5600 V3 converged storage system, combining SSD and SAS drives, intelligent tiering, and centralized management tools to improve performance, scalability, and administration. The result was a tenfold increase in concurrent service processing, near-100% HIS uptime, five-nines reliability, and a 50% reduction in configuration and maintenance workloads, while also lowering TCO by 10%.
