Case Study: Chris O’Brien Lifehouse achieves high availability in AWS with SIOS DataKeeper

Chris O’Brien Lifehouse goes live in days with SIOS DataKeeper for high availability in AWS

Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, an Australian hospital specializing in cancer treatment, faced a challenge when migrating its critical MEDITECH healthcare system to AWS. Their initial attempt using software-defined storage for a high availability cluster resulted in unacceptable performance issues, jeopardizing their recovery objectives. They needed a solution validated for AWS that could work across Availability Zones without sacrificing performance.

The hospital implemented SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition from SIOS Technology. This solution provided high-performance, synchronous data replication using real-time, block-level mirroring between instances, creating a SANless cluster. This enabled Lifehouse to successfully run its eight critical instances across AWS Availability Zones with near-zero recovery points. SIOS Technology's solution was not only high-performing but also simple to implement and maintain, minimizing operational expenditures and allowing the hospital to fully leverage the cloud without sacrificing uptime.
