Case Study: Leading Medical Equipment Company achieves $40,000 annual savings and improved performance with DatAvail’s migration to Microsoft Azure SQL Database

Medical Equipment Company Migrates from On-Premises VM to Cloud-based Microsoft Azure SQL Database

Leading Medical Equipment Company worked with DatAvail to move away from an on‑premises VM hosted in an IBM data center. The customer wanted to cut costs and reduce the resources needed to maintain their VM-based SQL environment, so DatAvail evaluated options and recommended a migration to Microsoft Azure (initially Azure VM Machine, then to Azure SQL Database).

DatAvail executed the two‑stage migration—first to an Azure VM then to Azure SQL Database PaaS—rewriting management code where needed to accommodate PaaS restrictions. The move to Azure SQL Database delivered about $40,000 in annual savings, improved performance, reduced infrastructure maintenance time, and DatAvail continues to provide ongoing optimization and proactive database support.
