The Challenge
Its healthcare and life sciences solutions include electronic medical records (EMR), healthcare analytics and digital patient engagement platforms. To keep compliance, security and operations under control, Elixir engaged HabileLabs to implement a fully managed AWS Managed Services (AMS) environment. The goals were high availability, automated operations, proactive monitoring and cost optimization, while meeting healthcare data protection and global compliance standards.
Operational Overheads
Manual infrastructure management, patching and monitoring added complexity and slowed deployment cycles.
Compliance and Governance
Compliance across multiple healthcare clients and geographies required continuous monitoring, auditing and governance controls.
High Availability and Performance
Healthcare applications, analytics platforms and client-facing systems needed 99.9% uptime and low latency.
Multi-Tenant Architecture Complexity
Serving multiple healthcare clients on shared infrastructure required secure isolation, scalability and efficient resource management.
Data Security
Sensitive healthcare and enterprise data needed encryption, strict access control and secure credential lifecycle management.
Cost and Scalability Management
Cloud costs had to be optimized while resources scaled for growing workloads and client onboarding.
Disaster Recovery
Business continuity across global deployments required reliable backup, failover and disaster recovery.
The Solution
HabileLabs implemented an AWS Managed Services (AMS) framework for Elixir to run secure, scalable and compliant cloud operations.
Managed Infrastructure Operations
Elixir's core platforms, including healthcare applications and analytics systems, run on Amazon EC2 under AMS management, with automated patching and configuration management through AWS Systems Manager (SSM), secure access and operational control for multi-tenant environments, and continuous monitoring and proactive incident management.
High Availability and Resilience
A resilient architecture keeps services running for clients worldwide: multi-AZ deployment with load distributed by Elastic Load Balancing, application protection with AWS WAF, and AMS monitoring for automated alerting, remediation and performance optimization.
Compliance and Security Management
AMS governance keeps compliance and security consistent across all environments: fine-grained access control with AWS Identity and Access Management, encryption with AWS Key Management Service, credential management with AWS Secrets Manager, and continuous auditing with AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config.
Data Integration and Analytics Enablement
Data pipelines and ETL workflows orchestrated with AWS Glue, secure storage of application data and analytics datasets on Amazon S3, and faster global content delivery through Amazon CloudFront.
Cost and Performance Optimization
Resource optimization with AWS Compute Optimizer, Savings Plans and right-sizing to reduce infrastructure costs, and Auto Scaling for efficient workload management across clients.
Disaster Recovery and Data Continuity
Automated backup and retention policies with AWS Backup, disaster recovery targets of an RTO under 30 minutes and an RPO under 5 minutes, and multi-region readiness for global service continuity.
