The Finnish Medical Society Duodecim Ensures 24/7 Availability for Physicians With Scalable Platform

Overview

The Finnish Medical Society Duodecim wanted to create a stable platform for the ever-increasing number of users accessing the doctors' Web services portal and provide 24/7 availability for both the doctors' service portal and the general health information portal. The challenge was to prepare the organization for temporary disturbances by ensuring system recovery capabilities and expand capacity and increase processing power by adding servers to the cluster when necessary. The company worked with Crescom to implement Oracle Real Application Clusters to support the deployment of a single database across a cluster of servers, and to maintain the server platform and databases and achieved a well-functioning technology environment with continuous operation.
