Project Solution

Chetu's experienced professionals were able to help CaraSolva migrate its care management software onto Microsoft Azure cloud services in order for it to become more scalable, efficient, and secure.

Client Overview

The CaraSolva organization operates within the realm of healthcare technology by providing care management services. The solution targets both administrators and patients who utilize assisted living centers and home care organizations.

Since more people were using the solution offered by the organization, it was required to have a new infrastructure, which was cloud-based, scalable, and secure to meet industry standards.

The Challenge

The following were some of the operational and technical challenges that CaraSolva had before moving to the cloud:

Scalability limitations with the existing infrastructure
System downtime causing decreased availability
Higher maintenance expenses
Difficulties managing the databases due to their huge sizes (around 14TB)
Requirement for better security and HIPAA readiness
No visibility on spending and poor cloud resource management

The Solution

Chetu developed and executed a holistic migration strategy on the Microsoft Azure cloud customized specifically for CaraSolva's healthcare portal.

This was achieved through:

Migrating applications on Azure Virtual Machines
Moving large databases on Azure SQL Server
Deployment of secure cloud storage for all patient and operational data
Employment of Azure Migrate for smooth transfer of workloads
Monitoring the process for efficiency and compliance
Adopting FinOps practices to minimize costs

The Approach

Chetu executed the migration through a structured, risk-mitigated process:

01

Assessment & Planning

Evaluated existing infrastructure, dependencies, and compliance requirements
Designed a scalable Azure architecture tailored to healthcare needs
Provisioned cloud resources aligned with workload demands

02

Application Migration

Implemented a phased migration strategy to minimize disruption
Migrated application components using Azure Migrate tools
Ensured compatibility and performance optimization post-migration

03

Database Migration

Created a replica of the source database
Migrated replica to Azure SQL environment
Completed differential migration within ~1 hour
Achieved full migration with only ~2 hours downtime

04

Testing & Validation

Performed end-to-end testing for functionality and performance
Ensured compliance with healthcare security standards
Leveraged Azure monitoring tools for validation and optimization

05

Cloud Spend Optimization

Reduced monthly cloud costs from ~$30,000 to ~$22,000 through right-sizing
Further optimized to ~$16,000/month using reserved instances
Conducted FinOps maturity assessment for continuous cost governance

The Impact

The Azure migration delivered measurable improvements across performance, cost, and security:

20–30% increase in system scalability and capacity utilization
15–20% reduction in system downtime
25–35% decrease in security incidents
20–25% reduction in operational costs

Significant improvement in application performance and user experience

Enhanced compliance readiness for healthcare regulations
