EHCC Moved from On-Premises to AWS and Now Recovers from Failures in Under 30 Minutes
Eternal Hospital, Jaipur (EHCC) ran its HIS, EMR, diagnostics and patient portals on fixed on-premises capacity that could not scale with patient load. HabileLabs, an AWS Partner, migrated and modernized these systems on AWS and now runs the platform as a 24x7 managed service.
- 99.9% uptime
- Recovery in under 30 minutes

The Challenge
EHCC's core hospital systems ran on fixed on-premises capacity, with manual operations and untested recovery.
Legacy Constraints
Fixed on-premises capacity could not scale with patient load.
Operational Overhead
Patching and monitoring were manual.
Availability
Clinical systems needed 99.9% uptime.
Integration
EMR, billing, diagnostics and pharmacy had to stay connected.
Data Protection
Patient records needed encryption, data residency in India and alignment with the DPDP Act, 2023.
Disaster Recovery
Backup and failover were manual and untested.
The Solution
The migration ran in four stages: assess workloads and dependencies, mobilize a secure landing zone (AWS Control Tower, Mumbai Region), migrate in waves, then modernize and operate.
Migration
Servers rehosted, databases moved with rollback paths.
Compute & data
Auto-scaling app tier, managed Multi-AZ databases.
High availability
Multi-AZ behind a load balancer, web protection.
Security
Least privilege, encryption, audit trail.
