St Basil's Homes SA — Azure Cloud Migration

the challenge

A single point of failure could disrupt an entire site

St Basil's core infrastructure ran on hosted on-premises hardware more than six years old and scheduled for decommission. A cloud-readiness assessment identified ageing compute, workloads exceeding their allocated storage, and no cloud-aligned disaster-recovery capability — all against a stated cloud-first IT strategy.

the solution

A modern, resilient enterprise network built for care

Tyto delivered an end-to-end migration of St Basil's server workloads into Microsoft Azure, structured across five phases from cloud foundation and governance through to cutover and post-migration optimisation.

  • Rebuilt the domain controllers natively in the cloud and lift-and-shifted the remaining in-scope workloads, including the aged-care line-of-business application and its databases.
  • Established governance and visibility with policy guardrails, centralised monitoring, identity synchronisation, and connectivity through a cloud-hosted SD-WAN appliance.
  • Protected the environment with geo-redundant, tiered cloud backup (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly retention), Microsoft Defender, and third-party backup for Microsoft 365.
  • Produced a full Disaster Recovery & Incident Response Plan defining recovery tiers and RTO/RPO objectives across the cloud, Microsoft 365 and network estate.
the outcome

A resilient network aligned to the needs of aged care

The migration is complete and in production. St Basil's server workloads and their databases are running in Microsoft Azure, confirmed protected and healthy, with the line-of-business database backed up daily.

St Basil's retired its ageing, at-risk hardware ahead of decommission, gained cloud-aligned disaster recovery and enterprise-grade security, and moved to a predictable operating-cost model.
