Our client is a prominent healthcare provider in the USA, operating a network of hospitals that serve thousands of patients daily.
Every second is crucial in healthcare. Imagine a busy hospital setting where doctors rely on real-time data to make life-saving decisions. But what happens when a platform managing critical patient records, telemedicine consultations, and heavy medical imaging starts to falter? This was the reality faced by our client, a leading healthcare solutions provider, whose cloud infrastructure was showing signs of severe strain.
According to a 2023 survey by HIMSS, 64% of healthcare providers experienced performance issues with outdated infrastructure, directly impacting patient care and operational efficiency. The client's over-reliance on a single virtual machine (VM) for all critical operations led to rising costs, performance lags, and a looming risk of system-wide downtime.
The client approached us with some goals. Here is what he wanted us to help with:
Here are the key challenges of the project:

Our solution approach enabled seamless telemedicine consultations and near-instantaneous access to patient data.
The customer achieved full compliance with healthcare regulations, which boosted trust and reliability.
Our team remained closely aligned with the client's needs, offering hands-on support and guidance throughout the deployment process. We conducted regular performance audits using AWS CloudWatch, ensuring the system maintained peak performance under all conditions.
