ABOUT THE CLIENT

Dentalia is one of the most recognized dental clinic networks in Mexico.

With a presence in several cities, it offers high-quality dental services through an innovative model that combines technology, modern infrastructure, and specialized professionals.

Its constant growth has led the company to seek technology partners that support its expansion and ensure operational continuity.

Companies in the healthcare sector face major challenges when relying on traditional IT infrastructure: high maintenance costs, limited flexibility to scale, and risks related to the availability of critical operational data.

DENTALIA’S CHALLENGE

In Dentalia’s case, its rapid nationwide growth put the capacity of its on-premises infrastructure to the test. The increase in the number of clinics and patients created greater demands for processing, storage, and security—needs that its local servers could no longer handle efficiently.

This resulted in high operational costs, limited flexibility to integrate new applications, and risks to business continuity due to potential system failures or downtime. Faced with this situation, the organization identified the need for a more scalable, secure, and efficient technology platform that could support its expansion plans and ensure the continuous availability of its services.

HONNE’S SOLUTION

Honne designed and implemented a Lift-and-Shift migration strategy to Amazon Web Services (AWS), replicating servers and databases without the need to modify the application’s code or architecture.

The new architecture included:

  • Amazon EC2 for secure and scalable compute workloads.
  • WAF for protection against cyberattacks (SQL Injection, XSS, DDoS).
  • Daily backups and DRP to ensure continuity and disaster recovery.
  • Private connectivity via Site-to-Site VPN for secure communication between the data center and AWS cloud.
  • High availability with distribution across multiple data centers and geographic redundancy.

BENEFITS

  • Efficiency: Elimination of 30% of unnecessary servers, optimizing the infrastructure.
  • Cost savings: Migration fully covered by AWS incentives, with an initial investment of $0 USD.
  • Scalability: Flexible infrastructure that adapts to business growth, with pay-as-you-go pricing.
  • Security and continuity: Automated backups, geographic redundancy, and advanced threat protection.
  • Operational optimization: 94% of servers now run at less than 20% CPU usage, maximizing resource efficiency.
