Client’s Business Challenges

This Client is a contractor to the US Federal Government for the Department of Health and Human Service and was looking to collaborate with a technology partner who would provide the strictly HIPAA compliant deliverables, to migrate one of their secondary Data centers (DC) to the Cloud without affecting their on-premise data center functionality. In addition, they were looking at capitalizing on the advantages that Cloud infrastructure brought, such as elasticity, reserved instances, and the ability to run their DC in a location geographically distanced from their primary DC. Connectivity to the Cloud DC was required, not only from their offices but for their partners as well. Eventually, they engaged SecureKloud as their strategic technology partner, for meeting their business goals. The client wanted to take its secondary data center to the cloud, while leaving its on-premise data center immune. They were looking for migration, accessibility, scalability and network security solutions on cloud, with shared access and connectivity privileges extended to their partners, all in conformance with HIPAA regulations.

SecureKloud solution

SecureKloud assisted the migration of the client’s Secondary data center to AWS, in stringent compliance with HIPAA regulations. SecureKloud did a systematic study of the organization’s requirements and designed VPC architecture in accordance. The SecureKloud Cloud and Network team designed and configured Virtual Private Networks for sites of the client and its partner, including the National Institute of Health (NIH) on endpoints that were not supported by AWS. In addition, SecureKloud set up the EC2 instances, with appropriate EBS volumes. SecureKloud secured the client’s VPC using Sophos Unified Threat Management suite for network protection and remote access. SecureKloud was also involved in setting up a backup and restore scheduling system for the client.
