Case Study: Federal Healthcare Agency achieves IT modernization and secure private cloud migration with CyrusOne

Federal Healthcare Agency - Customer Case Study

Red River and CyrusOne partnered to help a large federal healthcare agency modernize its aging storage environment and meet Cloud First goals while maintaining strict HIPAA and privacy requirements. The agency needed a private, on-site solution and expert support because legacy IT consumed roughly 80% of its operations budget, left little room for new initiatives, and required non‑disruptive transitions that would not impact patient care.

Red River built a mirrored private-cloud lab with CyrusOne’s data center infrastructure—space, power, cooling, security and network—so applications and storage could be fully vetted before production. The solution, operational within a month, combined CyrusOne colocation with Red River’s enterprise storage, testing and managed services to deliver on‑demand, scalable as‑a‑service storage, shift spending from capex to predictable opex, meet HIPAA requirements, reduce staff burden, and evolve into an Innovation Center used for broader government modernization, disaster recovery and cloud initiatives.
