Multi Cloud Strategy for Healthcare Client
Project Overview
Arihant Healthcare Technology helped a healthcare client adopt a multi-cloud strategy, migrating their infrastructure to both AWS and GCP. This improved system performance and scalability, reduced costs, enhanced user experience and security, and enabled the client to deliver better patient care.
“Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless. – Thomas Edison (Inventor)”
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 loads during high patient influx, leading to downtime and potential risk to patient care. The organization also wanted to avoid vendor lock-in and improve the resilience of their applications by adopting a multi-cloud strategy.
Process
Arihant Healthcare Technology proposed a comprehensive solution to migrate the client’s infrastructure to both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The migration involved moving their databases to Amazon RDS and Cloud SQL, implementing Amazon S3 and Cloud Storage for storage, using Amazon CloudFront and Cloud CDN for content delivery, implementing Amazon API Gateway and Cloud Load Balancing for handling traffic, and integrating Amazon Cognito and Cloud Identity for user authentication.
- Amazon RDS and Cloud SQL: Arihant Healthcare Technology migrated the client’s patient data and other relational databases to Amazon RDS and Cloud SQL, fully managed database services in AWS and GCP respectively. 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.
- Amazon S3 and Cloud Storage: Arihant Healthcare Technology used Amazon S3 and Cloud Storage for storing the client’s data. These services provided secure, durable, and highly scalable object storage, making it easy for the client to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time.
- Amazon CloudFront and Cloud CDN: Arihant Healthcare Technology implemented Amazon Cloud Front and Cloud CDN, fast content delivery network (CDN) services, 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.
- Amazon API Gateway and Cloud Load Balancing: Arihant Healthcare Technology implemented AmazonAPI Gateway and Cloud Load Balancing to manage the client’s APIs effectively and ensure secure, reliable access to services. These services provided them with insights into API performance, helped them identify and fix issues quickly, and enabled them to scale their APIs as needed.
- Amazon Cognito and Cloud Identity: Arihant Healthcare Technology integrated Amazon Cognito and 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 onlyauthorized personnel could access sensitive patient data. Regular audits were conducted to ensure ongoingcompliance 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 Amazon Cognito and Cloud Identity improved user experience and security. Overall, the migration to AWS and GCP enabled the client to deliver better patient care and grow their services.
