Cloud infrastructure for
healthcare organizations.

Migrate to HIPAA-compliant cloud on AWS or Azure — EHR hosting, telehealth platforms, medical imaging storage, and disaster recovery with BAA coverage, zero-downtime deployment, and continuous compliance monitoring.

Use Cases

Where healthcare cloud infrastructure delivers results.

Four infrastructure challenges where cloud architecture consistently outperforms on-premises deployments.

HIPAA-Compliant Cloud Migration

Before

Clinical applications run on aging on-premises servers with limited redundancy. Hardware refresh cycles are overdue. Patching is manual and inconsistent. A single rack failure could take down scheduling or lab results for hours.

After

A fully architected HIPAA-compliant cloud environment on AWS or Azure — encrypted at every layer, monitored 24/7, auto-scaling for demand spikes, and documented for compliance audits. Zero-downtime migration with validated rollback at every phase.

99.99% uptime SLA

EHR Hosting & Scaling

Before

Your EHR runs on dedicated servers sized for peak capacity — which means you are paying for hardware that sits underutilized 80% of the time. Month-end reporting slows clinical access. Adding new clinics requires hardware procurement cycles.

After

Cloud-hosted EHR infrastructure that auto-scales for reporting loads, new clinic onboarding, and seasonal volume without manual provisioning. Database replicas isolate analytics from clinical transactions so providers never feel the slowdown.

Zero-impact analytics

Telehealth Infrastructure

Before

Telehealth was bolted on during the pandemic using consumer-grade video tools. Visits drop calls, HIPAA compliance is questionable, and there is no integration with the EHR. Providers toggle between 4 applications during a single virtual visit.

After

A purpose-built telehealth platform on cloud infrastructure — HIPAA-compliant video with low-latency edge delivery, EHR integration for visit context and documentation, patient queue management, and auto-scaling for demand surges without degraded quality.

Sub-200ms video latency

Medical Imaging Storage

Before

PACS storage is approaching capacity. Archiving to tape is slow and retrieval takes hours. Radiologists cannot access prior studies from satellite locations. Storage growth outpaces your capital expenditure budget every year.

After

Cloud-native VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) with intelligent tiering — recent studies on high-performance storage, older studies on cost-optimized tiers with sub-second retrieval. DICOM-compliant, accessible from any facility, and growing without hardware procurement.

70% storage cost reduction

Who This Is For

Built for healthcare leaders managing infrastructure risk.

Chief Technology Officers at health systems

You own the infrastructure roadmap, the EHR hosting environment, and the security posture across multiple facilities. You need a cloud migration partner who understands healthcare-specific compliance requirements and can execute without disrupting clinical operations.

Chief Medical Information Officers (CMIOs)

You need clinical applications to be fast, available, and reliable — and you need the infrastructure team to prove that PHI is protected. Cloud infrastructure should be invisible to clinicians except when it makes their tools faster and more accessible.

VP of Operations at hospitals and clinics

You are managing facility costs, capital expenditure budgets, and operational efficiency. Moving from on-premises infrastructure to cloud shifts capital expense to operational expense, reduces facilities overhead, and eliminates hardware procurement cycles that delay growth initiatives.

Practice managers at multi-location groups

You need every location connected to the same systems with the same performance — no more satellite offices with degraded EHR access. Cloud infrastructure equalizes the experience across all locations without installing servers in every closet.

Our Process

From PHI mapping to production infrastructure.

01

PHI Data Mapping

We inventory every system that stores, processes, or transmits PHI. We classify data sensitivity, map data flows between systems, identify BAA requirements, and document the current security posture — creating the foundation for a compliant cloud architecture.

02

HIPAA-Compliant Architecture

We design the target cloud environment using only HIPAA-eligible services — VPC isolation, encryption at rest and in transit, IAM policies, audit logging, and network segmentation. Your compliance and security teams review the architecture before we build.

03

Phased Migration

We migrate workloads in priority order with zero-downtime cutover strategies. Each phase includes validated rollback procedures, data integrity verification, and parallel running periods. Clinical systems are never migrated without a tested fallback.

04

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

Post-migration, we deploy continuous compliance monitoring — automated drift detection, configuration auditing, access log analysis, and vulnerability scanning. Your compliance team receives monthly posture reports and real-time alerts for policy violations.

Common Questions

Questions about healthcare cloud infrastructure.

Is AWS or Azure HIPAA-compliant out of the box?

Neither AWS nor Azure is HIPAA-compliant by default. Both offer HIPAA-eligible services that can be configured to meet compliance requirements, but compliance is a shared responsibility. AWS and Azure will sign a BAA covering their eligible services — but you are responsible for configuring encryption, access controls, logging, and network segmentation correctly. This is where most healthcare organizations fail. We architect your environment using only HIPAA-eligible services, enforce encryption at rest and in transit, configure VPC isolation, enable CloudTrail or Azure Monitor audit logging, and document everything for your compliance team.

Do you sign a BAA, and what does it cover?

Yes, we sign a Business Associate Agreement before any engagement that involves PHI. Our BAA covers the design, implementation, and management of cloud infrastructure that stores, processes, or transmits protected health information. We also ensure BAAs are in place with every third-party service in the stack — AWS or Azure at the infrastructure layer, any SaaS tools, monitoring services, and backup providers. We maintain a BAA registry so your compliance team has a complete chain of custody for PHI across your entire cloud environment.

What about data residency — can PHI stay within specific geographic regions?

Absolutely. We configure your cloud environment with explicit region constraints. On AWS, we use Service Control Policies (SCPs) to prevent resource creation outside approved regions. On Azure, we use Azure Policy to enforce location restrictions. For organizations with state-specific requirements or those operating under additional regulations like CCPA, we can implement multi-region architectures with data residency guarantees at the storage layer. All backups and disaster recovery replicas also respect these geographic boundaries.

What are realistic RPO and RTO targets for healthcare cloud infrastructure?

For most healthcare organizations, we design for an RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of 1 hour and an RTO (Recovery Time Objective) of 4 hours for critical systems like EHR access and clinical applications. For life-safety systems — emergency department dashboards, critical care monitoring interfaces — we architect active-active multi-AZ deployments with near-zero RPO and RTO under 15 minutes. Non-critical systems like reporting and analytics can tolerate 24-hour RPO and 8-hour RTO. We model these tiers during the architecture phase and price them accordingly — not every system needs the most expensive DR posture.

How does cloud infrastructure cost compare to on-premises for healthcare workloads?

The honest answer is that cloud is not always cheaper — especially for steady-state compute workloads like EHR hosting where utilization is consistently high. Where cloud wins decisively is in burst capacity (telehealth surges, seasonal volume spikes), storage scalability (medical imaging growth), disaster recovery (no idle hardware), and operational labor reduction. For a typical mid-size health system, we see 20-35% total cost of ownership reduction over 5 years when factoring in avoided hardware refresh cycles, reduced facilities costs, and the elimination of on-call infrastructure staff. We build a detailed TCO model during the architecture phase so you have real numbers, not vendor marketing.
