GCP Migration for Healthcare Startup
Project Overview
Arihant Healthcare Technology helped a healthcare client migrate their on-premises infrastructure to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The migration improved system performance and scalability, reduced costs, and enhanced user experience and security. The client was able to handle peak loads efficiently, ensuring uninterrupted patient care.
Challenges & Requirements
A leading healthcare organization was facing challenges with their on-premisesinfrastructure, which was costly and time-consuming to maintain. Their system was unable to handle peak loadsduring high patient influx, leading to downtime and potential risk to patient care.
Process
Arihant Healthcare Technology proposed a comprehensive solution to migrate the client’s infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The migration involved moving their databases to Cloud SQL, implementing Cloud Storage for storage, using Cloud CDN for content delivery, implementing Cloud Load Balancing for handling traffic, and integrating Cloud Identity for user authentication.
- Cloud SQL: Arihant Healthcare Technology migrated the client’s patient data and other relational databases to Cloud SQL, a fully-managed database service in GCP. This provided automatic scaling, backups, and high availability. It also freed up the client’s IT team from the time-consuming task of database administration.
- Cloud Storage: Arihant Healthcare Technology used Cloud Storage for storing the client’s data. CloudStorage provides secure, durable, and highly scalable object storage, making it easy for the client to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time. It also provided the client with the flexibility to choose the storage class that matched their cost and performance needs.
- Cloud CDN: Arihant Healthcare Technology implemented Cloud CDN, a fast content delivery network(CDN) service, to deliver the client’s content to their users with low latency and high transfer speeds. This improved the speed and responsiveness of their applications.
- Cloud Load Balancing: Arihant Healthcare Technology implemented Cloud Load Balancing to distribute the client’s traffic across multiple servers, reducing the risk of any single server becoming a bottleneck and ensuring that their applications were highly available and scalable.
- Cloud Identity: We help with integrating Cloud Identity to provide user authentication. This allowed users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications, reducing the need for multiple passwords and streamlining the login process.
- Security and Compliance: Arihant Healthcare Technology ensured that all data was encrypted both in transit and at rest, adhering to HIPAA compliance. They also implemented robust access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel could access sensitive patient data. Regular audits were conducted to ensure ongoing compliance with all relevant regulations.
Results
Post-migration, the client saw significant cost savings and improvements in their system’s performance and scalability. They were able to handle peak loads efficiently, eliminating downtime during high patient influx. The IT team found it easier to manage the infrastructure, freeing up their time to focus on strategic initiatives. The use of Cloud Identity improved user experience and security. Overall, the migration to GCP enabled the client to deliver better patient care and grow their services.
