Cloud migration is a major step for any organization. Yet most of the time, it’s hard to understand all the benefits and the full impact of the shift. In this case study, we’ll cover how you can save money with cloud migration as well as the steps you need to take to make sure your transition is smooth and successful.
A client asked us to help them review their existing data centre environment; they wanted us to identify any efficiencies that we could make to reduce their base £200,000 per year cost. We conducted a full review of their estate and found, by moving the entire platform to AWS, we could deliver a 67% reduction in base costs.
After approving the consultancy, we designed and implemented their new estate at AWS, migrated their data and commissioned their production systems without a break in their customer-facing service.
The client has now started to explore some of the other benefits delivered by hosting their platform at AWS (like monitoring, alerting and improved server performance) whilst also enjoying the massive cost-benefit. We have even taken it one step further and provided some suggestions for additional cost optimisations.
In brief: The benefits of this cloud migration
- We saved our customer over £130,000 by moving their platform to AWS.
- Our customer found their application ran faster and more reliably on the new platform.
- As a result of this transformation, they can explore the extra capabilities of their new platform with minimal impact on their service.
