Client-Centric Overview
A multinational pharmaceutical company, operating across research, manufacturing, and clinical domains, faced increasing pressure to manage and access vast volumes of data securely and efficiently. Their existing infrastructure was not equipped to handle the scale, speed, and reliability required for modern pharmaceutical operations.
They turned to Simple Logic to architect a solution that would ensure high availability, disaster resilience, and optimized data lake access—all while maintaining compliance with stringent industry regulations.
Challenges Faced by the Client
- Data Lake Performance Bottlenecks
The client’s data lake housed terabytes of structured and unstructured data, including clinical trial results, genomic data, and manufacturing logs. Accessing this data was slow and inconsistent, especially during peak usage.
- Downtime and Risk Exposure
Without a robust HA-DR strategy, the client was vulnerable to system outages, which could disrupt research timelines, regulatory reporting, and supply chain operations.
- Scalability and Compliance
The infrastructure lacked elasticity to scale with growing data demands and needed to meet compliance standards like HIPAA, GxP, and 21 CFR Part 11.
Objectives
- Implement SQL Server High Availability to eliminate downtime.
- Design a Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery strategy using Oracle Cloud for Pharma.
- Optimize Pharmaceutical Data Lake Access for performance and reliability.
- Deploy Load Balancing in Healthcare IT to ensure consistent access across departments.
