Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series revolutionizes x86 servers, giving them a high level of stability and reliability, and making them an efficient replacement for the hospital’s dated mainframe system
Challenges
•Boost the performance of the hospital’s computer system. The growing number of patients demands new applications and faster response times. Mainframe computers are insufficient to deliver the performance these additions require.
• Upgrade the information system. Most educational institutions have moved away from courses that equip students with the skills to operate and maintain mainframe systems.
Solution
•Deploy multiple x86 servers powered by Intel Xeon processors. Use x86 servers to ensure significant increase in reliability and the advanced capability of Intel Xeon processors 7500 series to modernize the hospital’s outpatient system.
Introduction
When Taichung Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) was founded, only a handful of large public hospitals in the north ran on information systems. Thus, the information system deployed at
TVGH was closely modeled after systems used by the hospitals up north. In those days, there were not many types of information systems to choose from. Deploying a mainframe platform was the norm, which is why TVGH has always used a mainframe platform for its outpatient system. But through the years, the hospital has become one of the country’s leading healthcare institutions. More and more outpatients sought treatment, averaging 1.5 million outpatients a year. To keep up with this high volume of outpatients, the hospital needs a computer system that can deliver fast response times. Mainframe computers are just not equipped to deliver the performance in demand.
