Application Migration to AWS Cloud

Client Profile

Trianz was approached by a leading global healthcare provider that wanted to leverage cloud infrastructure to build a new secure, scalable, and industry-compliant cloud IT platform.

This included migrations and Its internal teams would use this platform for large-scale and complex analytics in the US and EU geographic areas.

Business Challenges

• Infrastructure is too complex to manage and maintain their physical servers, storage, networking equipment, and data centers

• Scaling of on-premises applications was too challenging and was not able to modernize the environment

• Security of on-premises applications involves implementing appropriate security controls, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access management mechanisms

• Lack of automations to run the operations

• Complex Software Updates and Patching

Solution Considerations

Trianz proposed to perform workload migrations to AWS cloud using rehost strategy by architecting a new secure, scalable, and industry-compliant cloud IT platform. This solution helps the client internal teams to use secured platform for large-scale and complex analytics in the US and EU regions.

TCO Analysis

• 25% reduction in operational expenditure (OpEx) for cloud infrastructure, including virtual machines (VMs), storage, networking, and data transfer costs

• Optimal spend on cloud subscriptions

• Application migration to cloud with near zero downtime

Solution Highlights

Migration

Trianz follows cloud adoption roadmap (prepare, assess, plan, deploy, modernize, manage &maintain) to support healthcare client's cloud transformation journey. Governing principals, such as billing management, cost optimization, security operations, etc.., established early in the cloud journey roadmap to ensure successful adoption.

Streamlined the migration process to validate the deployments/migrations before we take them to the production environments. Trianz has leveraged an enterprise migration tool (Carbonite) for workload migrations to AWS cloud with near zero downtime

Operational Excellence

• Migrated large-scale and complex analytics application from US and EU geographic to AWS cloud with Zero downtime

Transformational Effects

• Robust and scalable Analytics platform running on AWS Cloud

• Analytics platform is now scalable to huge data ingress in future, flexible to future technology trends.

• Workflow based Migration Planning Automation and Governance

• Workflow based Migration Execution

• Enabled Automations for Patch Management

• Enabled Fin-Ops for cloud spend planning, budget forecasting, controls and alerts, comparative analytics between clouds, and triggers for controlling spend
