CASE STUDY

The Client

The client is a global advance clinical, analytical and

technical product for Healthcare.

Scope

The client specializes in the development of advance

clinical, analytical and technical products for Healthcare

and has engaged Cognizant to assist with the assessment

and migration of their IT infrastructure on AWS Cloud.

Cognizant Solution

The client’s AWS environment consists of production,

staging, testing and development to reside in virtual private

cloud (VPC) of client’s choice based on AWS region. All

VPCs will leverage multiple availability zones (AZs) to allow

for data backup and HA capabilities. All infrastructure and

application components will be self-sustained in the VPC.

The migration was carried out in multiple phases:

• Phase 1

Theon Web, application server and database: This phase

includes migration of data into database.

• Phase 1.5

Creation of Aver and Mirth applications interfacing

with instances created in phase 1: This phase involves

creation of a No SQL database to be utilized in future

for data analytics.

• Phase 2

High impact migration: This phase involved setting up

the client portal.

• Phase 3

Portal Creation: Marketing portals for client and

SharePoint in AWS were created in this phase.
