At a glance

pMD is a software company that provides mobile technology solutions so healthcare professionals can deliver great patient care. To achieve its goals of more than 99.999 percent system availability, pMD needed to transform its data operations with a move to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Working with AWS Partner Caylent, pMD migrated to AWS and rearchitected its application to deliver improved scalability and resilience for the healthcare providers who rely on 24/7 availability. As a result, pMD has improved resilience thanks to global Availability Zones and the ability to add servers instantly.

Solution Implemented

→ Migrated mission-critical workloads from colocation data center to AWS within an accelerated timeline.

→ Adopted Amazon Aurora for MySQL to achieve near real-time replication with millisecond latency.

→ Deployed applications on Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) for simplified management and secure access.

→ Re-architected applications across multiple Availability Zones with regional failover for greater resiliency and disaster recovery readiness.

Outcomes Expected

→ Deliver 99.999% availability to meet the brand promise of high availability for healthcare providers.

→ Eliminate single points of failure and ensure robust disaster recovery.

→ Achieve 99% faster data replication, enabling near real-time database consistency.

"The scalability aspect of being in the cloud just can't be overstated. Today, if we have a massive load increase, I change a number in the console and have 100 more servers spun up quickly. We knew we didn’t have in-house expertise to do this migration nearly as quickly. I have to say, Caylent really knocked it out of the park for us."
