Challenge
NorthBay Health was running aging on-prem servers across three clinics. Patching was inconsistent, backups untested, and a recent audit flagged 14 HIPAA gaps.
Solution
We designed an AWS landing zone, migrated workloads in three waves, and replaced the legacy backup tier with Veeam to S3 with verified restores.
Results
- 40 servers migrated in 8 weeks
- Zero clinical downtime
- HIPAA gaps closed and audited
- 31% lower run-rate cost
"Knarf moved our entire stack to AWS in eight weeks with zero downtime."
