Key Challenges
- High maintenance costs for upgrading and patching the on-prem system
- Automating security processes & setting security configuration parameters in cloud instances
- Scalability issues affected the company’s ability to address customer queries, and this forced them to move to cloud
- Needed consultation for evaluation of tools and approaches for cloud adaptation
Solution
- Sparity after assessments and review, the team came up with a proposal to migrate the on-premises hosted application to AWS, as the internal servers were unable to handle the speed at which data needs to be delivered
- Proposed lift and shift migration to move their existing web apps from on-premises to AWS with zero downtime at launch
- Migrated web application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk with auto scaling and load balancing
- Made use of PowerShell scripts and moved files from NFS to the S3 storage in AWS
- Took the backup of on-premise database and restored it to SQL Server on EC2 instance
- Performed disaster recovery of the database in case any disaster occurs and made the database available in different regions
- Leveraged AWS Code Pipeline to automate release pipelines for fast and reliable application and infrastructure updates
Benefits
- Reduced the overall IT infrastructure costs by migrating the applications to cloud
- Cost-efficient, on-demand solution on AWS platform with more than 75% overall savings
- Standardized security services across different geo-based cloud accounts
- Enhanced security with 24×7 security monitoring & incident management services
- Highly available application for the user during peak time
- Automatic failover of the database in case of any disaster
- No manual setup and monitoring of the servers required as the same is taken care of by AWS
- Automated infrastructure provisioning to achieve standardization and avoid human errors
