The Challenge
Healthcare network needed redundant cloud infrastructure across multiple regions with HIPAA compliance. The organization had fragmented systems with no unified monitoring or disaster recovery capabilities, putting patient data at risk.
Our Solution
We implemented a comprehensive hybrid cloud architecture using Azure and AWS with automated failover mechanisms. This included multi-region replication, HIPAA-compliant encryption, audit logging, and quarterly disaster recovery testing.
Key Results & Metrics
99.99% system availability across 50 facilities
$3.2M annual infrastructure savings
Full HIPAA compliance with audit trails
Disaster recovery tested quarterly
Recovery time objective: <15 minutes
