As a renowned hospital in Tianjin with a history of 80 years, Tianjin First Central Hospital is a comprehensive tertiary hospital that integrates medical treatment, teaching, scientific research, prevention, and health care. It is also one of the largest public hospitals in China in terms of individual volume. The increasing demand for high-quality medical services among Tianjin citizens has driven the continuous improvement of the scale and service capabilities of Tianjin First Central Hospital. The newly put into use campus has 2000 beds and a designed outpatient volume of 7000 people.

In the construction of the new hospital area, Tianjin First Central Hospital has deeply cooperated with Xinqidian Group to build a complete set of intelligent hospital diagnosis, treatment and management platforms. Xinqidian distributed storage provides fast and reliable medical imaging data storage and retrieval services for PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) systems, while providing hyper converged services for many core businesses such as LIS (Laboratory Information Management System) and EMR (Electronic Medical Record), enabling stable, reliable, secure and trustworthy digital infrastructure to build the cornerstone of smart healthcare innovation and application.

In the daily diagnosis and treatment of Tianjin First Hospital, PACS system can integrate MRI CT、 Various massive medical images generated in daily life, such as ultrasound, are saved digitally, allowing doctors to retrieve and use imaging examination data faster and more easily. With the increasingly widespread and in-depth application of digital imaging technology in the diagnosis and treatment process, image data accounts for more than 80% of the total data volume in hospitals. The annual medical image data generated by super large tertiary hospitals has reached 50-80TB, and according to relevant national laws and regulations, these image data need to be saved for at least 15 years, which puts great pressure on PACS systems for data reading and storage management.

As a leading large-scale comprehensive tertiary hospital in Tianjin, the PACS imaging system of Tianjin First Central Hospital is planned to have a data volume of several hundred TB within three years, which needs to meet the requirements of online characteristic image data storage and cold data near line storage. The online part requires extremely high performance and stability because it provides real-time image data storage and access; The near offline part needs to be connected to online storage for data exchange, while also requiring high scalability and stability for near offline storage.

Xinqidian has deployed a PACS storage solution consisting of 9 H3C X10000 distributed storage devices for Tianjin First Central Hospital. Different levels of cold and hot image data pools have been constructed through full flash nodes and mixed flash nodes. Firstly, the database and important application systems of the PACS system are deployed on NVMe high-performance flash drives on X10000 flash nodes, providing high IO and low latency access for image data retrieval and hospital core business systems; At the same time, 5 all flash nodes adopt block storage access to store users' recent image data that is relatively hot; In addition, 4 mixed flash nodes are provided for storing near line and offline data.

The Xinqidian X10000 distributed storage system provides comprehensive node selection, offering high-performance NVMe full flash nodes and cost-effective mixed flash and capacity nodes for hospital PACS systems. It provides different data protection strategies such as multiple replicas and erasure codes. At the same time, intelligent management software enables free flow and unified management of data in cold and hot storage pools, building a high-performance and cost-effective image data resource pool for Tianjin First Central Hospital.

In addition to HIS and PACS systems, the LIS and PACS of Tianjin First Central Hospital EMR、 The business management system, Internet system and other services are carried by the virtualization platform. The medical data in these systems is not large, but they have very high standards for security. Therefore, the newly built virtualization platform of Tianjin First Central Hospital must ensure transmission security and storage security with reliable disaster recovery capabilities, while avoiding potential risks such as data leakage with comprehensive security mechanisms.

In the construction of the virtualization platform, New H3C Group has provided dozens of powerful and reliable SimpliVity380 Gen 10 hyper converged platforms for Tianjin First Central Hospital, which come with comprehensive backup and disaster recovery functions and carry various applications such as hospital information systems (HIS), clinical information systems (CIS), medical technology systems (LIS, EMR), front-end systems, etc. The total number of virtual machines carried exceeds 200, fully ensuring the security and stability of medical data. At the same time, it has achieved efficient and fast data storage and management with highly competitive re deletion and compression ratios, optimizing capacity utilization efficiency while improving overall performance, and building a stable and reliable data platform for medical core business. In terms of management, SimpliVity hyper fusion has achieved deep integration with vCenter, realizing integrated management of core medical business systems and greatly simplifying the management difficulty of hospital digital platforms.

At present, Xinqidian Group has ensured the rapid deployment and stable delivery of storage platforms with professional and timely services, achieving seamless integration with existing digital platforms in hospitals, and significantly improving the quality and efficiency of diagnosis and treatment services through efficient and stable data services. In the future of accelerating changes in smart healthcare, Xinqidian will continue to use its "cloud intelligence native" strategy to guide the digital transformation of more industry users with its "endogenous intelligence" digital infrastructure. With stronger governance capabilities, it will unleash the value behind massive data and empower and add intelligence to the beautiful goal of "Healthy China 2030".
