Healthcare Multi Cloud Operations
Managed multi-cloud operations for healthcare organisations — unified clinical workload management, HIPAA-compliant operations, and 24/7 support across AWS, Azure, and GCP healthcare environments.
Why Businesses Need This Service
Large health systems often operate across multiple cloud providers for legitimate clinical reasons: Epic prefers Azure, GCP's Healthcare APIs power clinical analytics, and AWS HealthLake handles data lake workloads. Managing these environments separately creates compliance blind spots, operational complexity, and cost inefficiency. Healthcare multi-cloud operations provides a single managed layer that enforces consistent HIPAA compliance, SLA management, and incident response across every cloud provider in your clinical environment.

Example Success Story

Client Challenge
A 20-hospital health system ran Epic on Azure, analytics on GCP, and legacy clinical apps on AWS — managed by three separate vendor contracts with no unified HIPAA compliance posture or incident coordination across providers.
Cloud Solution Implemented
We deployed a unified Datadog observability layer across all three clouds, consolidated PHI access logging into a single SIEM, established a single healthcare operations team managing all providers, and reduced the vendor contract footprint from three to one.
Business Results
Unified monitoring across Azure, GCP, and AWS for 140+ clinical workloads
HIPAA compliance posture unified — same controls enforced across all three providers
Mean time to detect clinical incidents reduced by 65%
Multi-cloud operational cost (tooling + management) reduced by 42%
Three vendor management contracts consolidated into a single engagement
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Healthcare Multi Cloud Operations
Health system multi-cloud environments typically evolve organically: Epic recommends or hosts on Azure, a GCP-native analytics platform is acquired, and legacy clinical apps were migrated to AWS years earlier. Mergers and acquisitions add further cloud fragmentation. The result is multiple cloud providers with separate compliance postures, separate operational teams, and no unified clinical visibility.
