Over the past two decades, most hospitals and health systems globally have adopted and embraced digital technologies with varying degrees of success. There are increasing expectations from governments and consumers to raise the bar on the exchange and use of healthcare data to improve the delivery of care.

To scale an effective digital healthcare system to meet these growing demands, solid foundations must be laid for information sharing and integration. As a result many healthcare organizations urgently require high-performance, high-availability, and easily scalable integration products to support their development.

The Odin Engine Cluster Edition is a complete Integration platform designed to address these scenarios. Its product architecture is very different to traditional Integration Engines. They typically have a single node and are usually deployed in secondary and tertiary level hospitals.

The Odin Engine Cluster Edition has many resilient nodes and is suitable for solutions at a major scale, such as large hospitals, and regional or national solutions.

As a global leader in data centers, Intel® released the new 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors in May 2021. The 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform delivers industry-leading performance and integrates powerful acceleration features to meet a wide range of end-to-end workload needs.

The benchmarked solution integrates the Odin Engine Cluster Edition with a powerful product portfolio centered on the Intel® Xeon Scalable platform to create a healthcare integration platform that delivers optimal performance to meet various challenging goals in health system integration and services.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the engineering teams from Odin and Intel®, the performance of Odin Engine Cluster Edition has been greatly optimized using the latest Intel® Xeon® processors and other Intel-related products and technologies.

The optimized Odin cluster on the 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Platform HCI Platform has achieved an average of 30,000 TPS (transaction per second) on a 5-worker cluster, each worker node with 16 vCPU cores.

Intel® acceleration technology is highly recommended to optimize the end-to-end experience in the following scenarios

1. In the HTTP (TLS v1.2) use case, overall throughput increased 123% by leveraging the Crypto- NI technology built into the Intel® Xeon® platform

2. The total cost of ownership is reduced by up to 40% through increasing memory and workload density by leveraging the Intel® OptaneTM technology

3. The overall performance is improved by 38% in the high IOPS use case with the Intel® OptaneTM SSD P5800X
