Case Study: Sentara Healthcare achieves greater scalability and agility with Microsoft Azure

Sentara Healthcare improves lives for patients, members, and clinicians by centralizing data in Azure

Sentara Healthcare, a not-for-profit health system serving Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, needed a more flexible and scalable infrastructure to support growing data demands and modernization efforts. Its on-premises environment had become costly and hard to scale, making it difficult to improve performance, reduce infrastructure expenses, and support evolving healthcare and analytics workloads. Microsoft Azure was part of the solution.

Microsoft Azure helped Sentara move workloads to the cloud and build a cloud-based data platform for business and clinical operations. The result was improved scalability and flexibility, reduced infrastructure complexity, and a stronger foundation for analytics and data-driven decision-making, helping Sentara better support growth and operational efficiency.
