Cloud-Native Denodo Implementation: Transforming Healthcare Data Integration

At a Glance

IQZ Systems assisted a leading healthcare insurance company in transforming their restrictive on-premises infrastructure to a fully cloud-native platform using customized Denodo solutions and empowering the company to deliver more responsive, data-driven healthcare with enhanced security and reliability.

The Client

Our client, a leading health insurance provider in America stands at the forefront of healthcare innovation, delivering exceptional patient care through integrated, data-driven solutions

As a nationally recognized leader in the healthcare space, they combine clinical excellence with technological advancement to create seamless health experiences for their communities. Their commitment to quality, innovation, and patient-centred care makes them a valued partner in transforming healthcare delivery for the digital age.

Breaking Free from Limitations

Our client's vision for data-driven healthcare excellence was being hindered by their legacy on-premises infrastructure

• Manual Processes Slowing Innovation: Reliance on outdated runbooks created bottlenecks in infrastructure management, making system recreation and maintenance a time-consuming burden.

• Fixed Capacity During Peak Demand: Without dynamic scaling capabilities, the team required weeks of advance planning to handle increased traffic, limiting agility.

• Limited Visibility and Control: Their ticket-based change tracking system couldn't effectively monitor actual infrastructure modifications, creating uncertainty during system updates.

• Cloud Integration Roadblocks: Modern cloud applications lacked seamless methods to consume critical data from Denodo through REST and GraphQL.

Our Transformative Solution: Embracing the Cloud

We engineered a full-customized cloud-native Denodo implementation on Google Cloud Platform that transformed how our client manages their data integration

• Infrastructure as Living Code: Leveraging Terraform and Ansible through our client's GitLab pipeline, we created a self-documenting system that enables consistent deployment across all environments.

• Intelligent Scaling on Demand: Implemented Managed Instance Groups (MIGs) that automatically scale to match real-time needs while maintaining standalone VMs for comprehensive disaster recovery.

• Enterprise-Grade Security: Implemented OAuth 2.0 secured APIs, enabling frictionless consumption by cloud applications while maintaining robust protection.

• Performance-Optimized Architecture: Strategic placement of the Virtual Data Port's metadata database and integration with Google Cloud Storage minimized latency and maximized throughput.

The Game-Changing Results

This cloud transformation delivered immediate, measurable impact for our client

• Accelerated Deployment Speed: New node provisioning now takes less than 20 minutes regardless of scale—eliminating the previous linear time increase for multiple nodes.

• Seamless API Integration: Cloud applications now effortlessly consume Denodo data through native authentication protocols.

• Total Infrastructure Control: The team can rapidly scale, replicate, or rollback Denodo instances with minimal configuration drift.

• Enhanced Reliability and Security: The robust cloud architecture provides enterprise-grade protection while ensuring continuous availability.
