To kick off the project we meticulously assessed on-premises virtual and physical servers for migration to Azure, ensuring optimal workload placement and identifying systems or applications requiring refactoring for successful Azure integration. Close collaboration with the trust’s IT team facilitated the identification of critical applications like Clinical Data and SQL Server Instances within the hospital IT estate.
Navigating the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) and various third-party networks, we secured vital ports for uninterrupted connectivity, ensuring a seamless migration process. Leveraging Azure Express Route expedited connectivity between existing on-premises data centres and the public cloud.
Leveraging Azure Advisor’s security features, we provided detailed security and compliance reports, ensuring adherence to NHS England requirements.
Our agile approach enabled us to adapt to the fast pace of change within the NHS, fostering a collaborative partnership for a smooth Azure transition.
