Royal North Shore Hospital
Customer profile:
Royal North Shore Hospital is one of a chain of XX health care
facilities in Australia.
Business need:
A 1,000 user system used to process patients from admittance to
discharge. A "cluster-like" solution is desired for redundancy, load
leveling, high availability, inexpensive incremental growth, and true
distributed processing.
HP 3000 solution:
Hardware - Series 967 (3), 937 (1)
Software - NetWare/XL, NS2.1
VAB - Gerber Alley
System benefits:
Cost effective upgrades, redundancy achieved by cross shadowing server
data, and robust solution.
Open system benefits:
NetWare/XL and NS2.1 allowed access to existing Novell network.
Competition:
DEC VAX
Why HP won:
Besides the benefits listed above, the HP solution was comparably
priced to the DEC offering...even after DEC discounted their bid
by $1,000,000!
