The Social Security Institution (SGK), at which the database of all  health institutions in Turkey are kept, does not only have a strategic  importance but it is also one of the biggest institutions in Turkey  thanks to its gradually increasing data base size. The SGK renders  active service to over 50 million Turkish citizens.

Before we introduced virtualization technology, we used to have  approximately 200 corporate servers with java practices operating e.g.  e-declaration. Considering the health databases and Medula system that  were foreseen to be installed in near future, the servers would not be  sufficient and would make it necessary to purchase additional hundreds  of servers. Hence, it was decided to go through a transformation and  opted for an entire virtualization infrastructure, both for economic and  purchasing reasons, as well as the increasing requirements for  installation, maintenance and system engineering.
