Challenge
Our client, a leading U.S. retail company, faced the intricate challenge of transferring more than 200 workloads from their current on-premise infrastructure to the Cloud. The overarching objective was to retire a substantial portion of the on-premises infrastructure, preserving only the corporate infrastructure for office purposes.
Business Objectives
To retire their on-premise infrastructure without disrupting the business, the client aimed to:
- Reduce the cost of supporting their in-house hardware
- Streamline business operations
- Embrace cloud-native solutions for enhanced scalability and innovation
Solution
To tackle the migration challenge, we proposed a robust solution anchored in the Google Cloud Platform, delivered as a two-stage process:
Lift and shift phase
Move the client's existing workloads to the Cloud as-is, retiring on-premise infrastructure quickly while maintaining business continuity.
Cloud re-architecture phase
Re-architect the migrated workloads to take full advantage of cloud-native services for better scalability and cost efficiency.
Outcome
The successful execution of the migration initiative enabled the client to:
- Decommission an in-house-managed data center
- Seamlessly migrate 50% of the existing on-premise workloads to the Cloud
- Streamline business operations, achieve cost efficiency, and embrace cloud-native adoption
Feedback from the client has been overwhelmingly positive, underscoring high levels of satisfaction with our team's expertise, meticulous work, and the successful outcomes achieved.
- Integrated cloud-native solutions
- Maintained business continuity
- Achieved cost efficiency
