DC - DRC Optimization using Load Balancer (Case Study: Karawang Regional Hospital)

The development of modern applications to support company business processes requires management with high service availability. Most application development still implements traditional client server architecture, without considering the need for high availability. Karawang Regional Hospital currently still uses this traditional architecture, so data availability has the potential to experience problems. Data Center – Disaster Recovery Center (DC-DRC) is an opportunity to meet high availability needs, so the right method is needed to build a DC-DRC that has optimal performance. This research aims to increase data availability at Karawang Regional Hospital through the implementation of DC-DRC which has high availability capabilities. The load balancer method was chosen to divide the distribution of server performance loads. This research method adopts a network development process model, namely Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) with stages including analysis, design, simulation, and implementation. Based on the test results, the applied load balancer can share the load on DC-DRC and support high availability at Karawang Regional Hospital. The results of this research can be applied to the development of DC-DRC which can be used to increase the availability of service quality.
