Q: What is the core advantage of HCI compared with traditional three-tier data center infrastructure?
A: Its core advantage is convergence — computing, storage, networking, and security are merged into one unified system. This significantly reduces both initial investment and operational complexity, minimizes footprint and energy use, and lets hospital IT teams deploy new services in days rather than months, all while matching the performance of traditional infrastructure models.
Q: Our HIS, EHR, and PACS systems require 24/7 availability. Can this solution guarantee it?
A: Yes, it can. The solution employs cluster technology and active-active data center operation to deliver continuous, reliable healthcare services around the clock. Critical operations such as EHR, PACS, and HRP run on a high-availability foundation with no single points of failure — ensuring care is never interrupted by infrastructure.
Q: We already run VMware in our hospital. Will migrating to this platform be disruptive?
A: No, it will not. H3C UIS offers seamless compatibility with VMware, enabling hassle-free, phased migration to the UIS platform. Existing virtual machines can be integrated smoothly, and the intuitive full-screen dashboard — with health checks, resource reports, and topology-based deployment — keeps operations transparent and automated throughout the transition.
