Context
The starting position
A provider running clinical and administrative workloads on ageing on-premise hardware with no tested recovery procedure.
The challenge
On-premise hardware was reaching end of life and recovery procedures had never been tested.
Our approach
- Assessed workloads and classified them by criticality and data sensitivity
- Built a landing zone with identity, logging, backup and cost guardrails
- Migrated in waves with rollback plans for each wave
- Ran recovery drills to validate RTO and RPO commitments
What we delivered
- Cloud landing zone
- Migrated application workloads
- Backup and disaster recovery with documented drills
- Cost monitoring and right-sizing
Security and performance
- Least-privilege IAM baseline
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Network segmentation and private endpoints
- Documented and tested recovery runbooks
“The recovery drills were the part that mattered most to us. We now know exactly what happens on a bad day.”
