Case Study: McKesson Health Solutions builds a secure private cloud with HyTrust CloudControl

McKesson Builds Secure, Compliant Private Cloud

McKesson Health Solutions, a major healthcare and pharmaceutical company, required a secure and compliant foundation for its new OneCloud private cloud initiative. Their virtualized infrastructure lacked the granular security controls needed to meet regulations like HIPAA and SOX, with challenges including untraceable administrator actions and overly broad access. To address this, they turned to vendor HyTrust and its HyTrust CloudControl product.

The solution implemented by HyTrust provided the necessary policy-based authorization, monitoring, and platform hardening. This gave McKesson improved visibility and control, enabling strong separation of duties, detailed logging for audits, and proactive alerts for configuration drift. As a result, HyTrust helped McKesson successfully build a secure and agile private cloud where even regulated workloads can be deployed, with the ability to provision resources like a Hadoop cluster in hours instead of weeks.
