Hybrid Cloud Migration for Healthcare Provider

Migrated unstable on-prem workloads into a secure Azure hybrid cloud with stronger backup, monitoring and firewall controls.

Client profileMid-sized healthcare provider, 120 users, 3 locations

Service scopeCloud Migration, Backup & DR, Network Security

Timeline6 weeks

LocationDelhi NCR

Challenge

Legacy on-premise servers were causing weekly outages, slow application access and inconsistent backup success. Leadership needed stability without disrupting clinical operations.

Solution

ShellRack assessed workloads, created a phased migration plan, deployed Azure virtual machines, configured Fortinet firewall policies, validated backups with Veeam and documented handover steps.

Result

The client gained a monitored hybrid cloud environment, reliable backups and a much simpler recovery process. Staff saw faster access and the IT team gained clearer visibility.

Action

Show the technical work: assessment, design, deployment, migration, testing, documentation and handover.

Result

Show the impact with proof: lower downtime, faster recovery, reduced risk, better visibility or lower cost.
