Implementation of Virtualization Oriented Architecture: A healthcare industry case study

Abstract

This paper presents a Virtualization Oriented Architecture (VOA) and an implementation of VOA for Hridaya - a Telemedicine initiative. Hadoop Compute cloud was established at our labs and jobs which require a massive computing capability such as ECG signal analysis were submitted and the study is presented in this current paper. VOA takes advantage of inexpensive community PCs and provides added advantages such as Fault Tolerance, Scalability, Performance, High Availability. © 2009 ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
