Use of the solution ensures the high availability of critical applications and data in the AWS Cloud without sacrificing performance.
SYDNEY / AUSTRALIA – 04/30/2020 . The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, one of the largest oncological treatment centers in Australia, has chosen to use SIOS DataKeeper software. The solution ensures the high availability of the health information system operated by the clinic in the AWS Cloud and ensures that the application and all information recorded in the associated database can be directly restored in the event of a disaster recovery. This enables the integrated cancer center to take full advantage of the scaling effects of the AWS cloud without sacrificing performance.
Switching to the cloud requires a rethink in terms of high availability
The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse creates and stores all electronic medical records with a MEDITECH information system. End-to-end access to information required for patient health care is essential for hospital operations, and failure of the application and the associated database is therefore intolerable. In the past, if a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) operated in the company’s own data center and connected to the storage network ensured high availability, the change of the central solution to the AWS cloud required a rethink. Especially since eight instances are used in failover clusters that are located in different regions to protect against disasters.
SIOS Datakeeper solves availability and performance problems in the cloud
The IT managers at the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse initially set up software-defined volumes in the cloud for simulation purposes of on-premise configuration. However, it turned out that the required throughput cannot be achieved in this way. The SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition, on the other hand, can be easily integrated into a Windows Server Failover Cluster and extends it with performance-optimized, host-based synchronous or asynchronous replication functions.

Brief information Chris O’Brien Lifehouse : The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is an integrated cancer center, which is located on the campus of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney and combines research with medical care. Every year, the non-profit clinic, which specializes in the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of rare and complex cancers, cares for around 40,000 patients.
Brief information SIOS Technology Corp. : The US company SIOS Technology, founded in 1999, specializes in the development and marketing of high availability and disaster recovery solutions. Their use ensures the availability of the critical Windows and Linux applications operated in physical, virtual, hosted or hybrid cloud environments and prevents data loss. This means that both planned and unplanned local or even regional failures can be handled. In this respect, the SIOS cluster software is suitable for any company that runs applications in its IT infrastructure that must be available consistently and without interruption without loss of performance or data.
In addition to the headquarters in San Mateo in the US state of California, SIOS Technology (https://us.sios.com) is represented worldwide with its own branches and through partner presences.
