Client Overview
One of the leading insurance companies specializing in auto, home, and umbrella coverage. Renowned for its customer-centric approach, it offers a wide array of coverage options and services tailored to meet the diverse needs of its clients, with a strong emphasis on convenience and personalized service.
Business Challenge
The current cloud architecture of the client lacks sufficient security and scalability. Most servers are still on-premises, and critical business applications built on legacy systems are not easily scalable to handle increasing traffic demands. There is a continuously rising cost associated with managing on-prem resources. Additionally, there are challenges in managing existing ESK clusters in standalone AWS accounts, as they do not conform to the required security protocols.
Trianz Solution Approach
Trianz's leverages its proprietary cloud transformation platform Concierto's discovery capabilities to meticulously assess over 600 On-Prem and 50+ AWS Cloud resources. The solution emphasizes a detailed workload analysis from both On-Prem and AWS Cloud, providing tailored migration recommendations. By harnessing Concierto's hyper-automation, the strategy is finely tuned to suggest either Re-Host or Re-Platform options, ensuring optimal AWS Infrastructure Licensing and precise rightsizing. Application architects contribute with a hands-on assessment, delivering an in-depth analysis of application stacks, pinpointing improvement opportunities, and devising modernization strategies that align with a DevSecOps model.
The outcome is a detailed recommendation report for Move Groups, blending insights from Concierto Migrate with a manual architectural review. The approach is rounded off with the deployment of a Landing Zone Accelerator for Cloud Foundation Services, the migration of brownfield workloads using Concierto Migrate, and a bespoke AWS Account Vending Automation, complete with a self-service portal. This holistic approach not only streamlines the migration process but also sets the stage for ongoing innovation and growth in the cloud environment.
Technology Components
TCO Analysis was performed by considering the following attributes:
- EC2 Instances for App Servers
- EC2 Instances for DB Servers
- EBS Storage
- AWS CloudWatch
- EFS Storage for File Servers
Foundational Services (AWS VPC, ALB, Security Hub, CloudTrail, KMS, AWS Config)
The ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) estimate for migrating servers to the AWS Cloud was determined. ARR is considered based on a one-to-one or AWS equivalent mapping of on-premises servers with EC2 Instances.
As part of the final estimate summary, we have projected the monthly cost and total cost for 12 months.
Transformational Outcomes
The Trianz solution provided a secure and scalable landing zone and cloud foundational services that adhere to the insurance regulations. The solution has also facilitated a faster migration and a reduced total cost of ownership by 30%. Moreover, the solution has enhanced the client's resiliency by configuring highly available and disaster recovery environments. These transformational outcomes have improved the client's operational efficiency, agility, and competitiveness in the market.
Conclusion
By partnering with Trianz, a leading insurance service provider overcame the challenges of an insecure and non-scalable cloud architecture.
