Healthcare provider — Replicated architecture to eliminate the single point of failure

Client: Healthcare provider — Healthcare

The challenge

Operations depended on a single database server: any engine failure stopped them entirely.

The solution

Three machines with synchronous replication and Premium SSD v2 disks, with backups separated by workload type. Database continuity was costed and put in writing: 1,022.30 dollars per month.

How did Arcetec eliminate the single point of failure for the healthcare provider?

The healthcare provider faced a critical risk: its operations depended entirely on a single database server. This setup meant that any interruption or failure in the database engine completely paralyzed its services, jeopardizing the continuity of its essential processes and the care of its patients.

Arcetec designed a robust solution based on Microsoft Azure, implementing three machines with synchronous replication. This architecture, complemented by Premium SSD v2 disks and backups separated by workload type, ensured that database continuity was no longer a concern, effectively eliminating the single point of failure.

The result was a more resilient and secure operation. The institution now has a database infrastructure that ensures the constant availability of its critical information, with a clearly defined monthly continuity cost, allowing it to focus on its core mission without unexpected interruptions.

Frequently asked questions

What was the institution's main operational risk before the solution?
The main risk was total dependence on a single database server. Any failure in that engine meant a complete halt to the institution's operations, seriously compromising the continuity of its services and the availability of critical information for its day-to-day management.
Which Microsoft technologies were used to solve this challenge?
Key Microsoft technologies were used to remove the dependence on a single server. Specifically, the solution was implemented with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft SQL Server for database management and Azure Backup to ensure the information is backed up.
How was database continuity achieved?
Database continuity was achieved by implementing three machines with synchronous replication. These machines, equipped with Premium SSD v2 disks, work together to ensure there is no single point of failure, and backups are managed separately according to workload type.
What concrete results did the institution achieve with this implementation?
The institution achieved guaranteed operational continuity for its database, eliminating the risk of outages caused by a single server failing. Three machines with synchronous replication were implemented, ensuring constant service availability, at a monthly cost of US$1,022.30 for the replica.
