The DR system is designed to restore services or systems to normal when they are interrupted due to various natural disasters or human-caused risks. With the implementation of this system, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital has strengthened system stability by ▲preventing data loss through backup data ▲ensuring continuity of medical services through real-time rapid recovery in case of disasters ▲quickly recovering from system failures.

Unlike hospitals that have systems built nearby, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital explained that it established the system at the Samsung SDS data center located 71 km away, creating a stable dualization structure.

Shin Hyun-chul, director of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, stated, "We plan to improve disaster response capabilities by conducting annual mock drills based on DR operation procedures for each task," adding, "We will do our best to protect the safety and health of patients under any circumstances."
