compliance reporting, where reports used to be a struggle
The problem
HealtHIE Nevada is a private, nonprofit, community-based health information exchange. Its data center vendor provisioned so little capacity that the team planned queries days in advance and had to drop indexes to make room for new ones. A renewal date was approaching, which left less than thirty days to move.
The scope
Cloud migration of the exchange to AWS, then ongoing operations, security, and compliance.
What we did
- Migrated the Microsoft SQL database to Amazon RDS.
- Deployed Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and AWS SFTP from the AWS Service Catalog.
- Deployed Cloudticity Oxygen to manage operations, security, and compliance.
- Left HealtHIE Nevada as the owner of its own infrastructure, with security, compliance, and monitoring wrapped around it.
The result
The exchange was fully migrated in less than two weeks. Data is more available and faster to query, historical data is stored cost-efficiently, overhead costs went down, and compliance reports are available in real time.
“Cloudticity stepped up to the plate and brought resources and expertise that allowed us to speed up the process and migrate cleanly and successfully. In less than two weeks, we were fully migrated to AWS.”
