General Info
As part of Peru’s largest healthcare modernization initiative, two major hospitals were being developed under a Public-Private Partnership model. The project required a mission-critical IT infrastructure capable of supporting fully digital, paperless operations — including electronic medical records, digital imaging, and automated logistics.
Zakini led the full design and implementation of the healthcare IT environment, from datacenter infrastructure and network architecture to operational handoff and local team training.
Built on HP converged technology, the solution delivered high availability, flexibility, and scalability — ensuring hospitals could operate continuously, with no tolerance for downtime.
01
Project Overview
The Public-Private Healthcare Partnership engaged Zakini to design and deploy the complete IT backbone for two new hospitals serving over 3,500 healthcare professionals.
The goal was to create a fully electronic, paperless hospital system with centralized information management, digital imaging, and real-time patient data — all underpinned by a robust, redundant datacenter infrastructure.
02
Challenge
The project required:
A high-availability architecture to ensure continuous operation of hospital systems.
A single-vendor, converged infrastructure for simplified management and scalability.
Full network coverage and redundancy across multiple hospital buildings and facilities.
Seamless support for mission-critical healthcare systems, including Electronic Health Records (EHR), RIS/PACS imaging, and digital signature workflows.
Knowledge transfer and local team enablement to ensure long-term operational independence.
03
Solution
Zakini designed and implemented a complete, converged IT infrastructure powered by HP Enterprise technology, featuring:
Core Datacenter and SAN Storage: HP DL360p Gen8 servers with HP P2000 and D2700 storage arrays, designed for high availability.
Redundant Network Architecture: HP 5900 and 5120 switches in IRF stacks for fault tolerance and speed.
Unified Wireless Infrastructure: HP MSM760 controller with MSM410 access points for hospital-wide connectivity.
Centralized Monitoring & Management: Intelligent Management Center (IMC) for infrastructure oversight.
Comprehensive Backup and Recovery: HP MSL2024 tape library for secure data redundancy.
Continuous Operations & NOC Oversight: 24/7 monitoring and support for uninterrupted healthcare delivery.
Training & Knowledge Transfer: Local IT staff hired, trained, and certified to maintain and evolve the systems.
The implementation was completed ahead of operational launch, providing a stable and redundant environment that mitigated risks to business continuity and patient safety.

Result
The hospitals now operate with a 99.98% uptime infrastructure supporting all healthcare systems — from admissions and imaging to laboratory automation and digital records management.
The project achieved:
First fully electronic hospitals in Peru’s public healthcare system.
End-to-end digital workflows including electronic medical records with certified digital signatures.
Centralized data and imaging systems, enabling faster patient service and reduced errors.
Paperless operations, significantly improving staff productivity and patient satisfaction.
Long-term scalability, with readiness for future telemedicine, patient portals, and IoT-based monitoring.
The initiative positioned Peru’s healthcare sector as a regional leader in innovation, and the project was later featured by HP as a global success story.
