Client Profile

A leading healthcare business process management company that provides critical services to healthcare providers, insurers, and pharmaceutical organizations. With a strong presence in the industry, the company supports 1,500 concurrent users across multiple locations and is responsible for managing large volumes of sensitive healthcare data.

Challenges

The client had relied on a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution to enable its workforce, but was experiencing significant challenges related to cost, scalability, security, and the need for seamless legacy application support.

The client required a more reliable, secure, and cost-effective virtual desktop solution. While their existing VDI solution supported 1,500 concurrent users, the company faced escalating maintenance costs, licensing complexities, and operational inefficiencies. Their current infrastructure lacked the scalability needed to support rapid growth and increasing demand.

Security and compliance with healthcare regulations, including data protection for sensitive patient information, were paramount, yet the system struggled to meet these stringent requirements. Additionally, the infrastructure had difficulty running critical legacy applications such as Avaya and Genesys, and the company needed greater control over vendor access to ensure the integrity and security of its system.

The Anunta Solution

Anunta migrated the client to VMware Horizon, providing a scalable, secure, and flexible virtual desktop solution. The system was deployed across two Azure regions to ensure high availability and business continuity:

East US Data Center

1,300 virtual desktops migrated to VMware Horizon to support daily operations.

Canada Central Disaster Recovery Site

200 virtual desktops were set up for disaster recovery.

VMware Horizon offered centralized management, advanced security features (like multi-factor authentication and encryption), and the ability to scale quickly, meeting both operational and compliance requirements.

Key Benefits

  • Seamless Transition: Migrated 1,300 virtual desktops in East US for daily operations, with a backup site in Canada Central.
  • Support for Legacy Applications: Smooth integration of critical applications like Avaya and Genesys ensured uninterrupted service for users.
  • Enhanced Security: End-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC)
    ensured robust data protection and compliance with healthcare regulations.
  • Business Continuity: Dual-region deployment ensured uninterrupted access to virtual desktops, even in case of failure at the primary site.
  • Scalability and Flexibility: VMware Horizon provided easy scalability, enabling the client to quickly adapt to future growth and changing needs.
  • Optimized Performance: Continuous monitoring and adjustments ensured that the system ran efficiently, maintaining a smooth user experience.
