Keystone Technologies Cloud: Secure, Scalable, and Tailored for Healthcare
The Keystone Technologies cloud specifically supports the needs and workflows of health networks, hospitals, and medical practices while ensuring HIPAA and HITECH compliance. Keystone actively designs and manages cloud network architecture, including firewalls, VPN concentrators, load balancers, and SSL offloading. Our certified network engineers deliver backups, log management, patch updates, and security assessments to maintain data integrity and prevent downtime. The Keystone security team oversees and maintains the infrastructure, conducting annual security risk assessments. Through the Keystone cloud, organizations keep legacy EMR systems relevant and effective.
Our HIPAA-compliant cloud serves healthcare organizations with computing, storage, and security solutions built on Citrix and AWS platforms. These services deliver secure access to enterprise applications while reducing the time, cost, and effort of maintaining on-premise infrastructure. Keystone extends the lifespan of legacy EMR systems by seamlessly integrating them into modern cloud environments.
End-to-End Cloud Expertise
Keystone handles every aspect of cloud architecture, migration, and hosting, including:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)-based-cloud technology solutions and workloads
- HIPAA-compliant hosting with a focus on storage, compliance, and security
- Hybrid architectures
- Modern Data Architecture
- Networking, security and storage solutions
- Backup and DR (Disaster Recovery) solutions (RTO & RPO)
The cloud with Citrix XenDesktop allows companies to deliver virtual desktops securely to thousands of end users based on their unique identity, location, and security status. By centralizing applications and data in the cloud, Keystone enhances management, increases security, and ensures business continuity. Keystone offers two distinct cloud environments tailored to healthcare needs.
Keystone’s cloud environment is provided through AWS and is a collection of remote computing services that together make up the largest and most flexible cloud computing platform in the world.
As an AWS Consulting Partner – Advanced Tier and holding the Healthcare Services Competency, Keystone participates in the AWS Partner Network (APN), a program that supports technology businesses in building and delivering AWS-based solutions. Over 90% of Fortune 100 companies and most Fortune 500 companies use APN Partner solutions, making AWS the gold standard in scalable, secure cloud computing.
On-Premise to Cloud Migration Made Simple
Healthcare organizations are building their IT infrastructures to be more flexible and scalable to meet the growing data demand. With value-based incentives for data analytics and the increased number of connected medical devices constantly collecting data, organizations are challenged with storing clinical data in a way that is both HIPAA-compliant and easy for authorized users to access. Traditionally, healthcare organizations have shied away from cloud data storage in favor of on-premise options due to the control IT administrators have over physical data centers. Now, entities are more likely to implement cloud storage into their IT infrastructure due to the reduced maintenance costs and improved HIPAA-compliance.
Cloud data storage options offer a flexible and scalable environment at a lower cost than on-premise deployments, which is appealing to covered entities. Organizations exploring data analytics are expecting their storage requirements to steadily increase as the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices collect data that needs to be stored. One of the biggest data storage challenges healthcare organizations face is how to maintain legacy systems while integrating new systems into the infrastructure. Many entities cannot afford to mass migrate data from one storage system to the other, which is why interoperability between different cloud vendors is necessary for a smooth transition.
Enhanced Disaster Recovery (DR)
Cloud platforms simplify disaster recovery by optimizing recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO). Keystone’s DR solutions allow organizations to restore critical data quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruptions and costs. Healthcare organizations can customize retrieval and restoration strategies based on data type to achieve maximum flexibility and control.
