Uneecops Technologies is a leading provider of comprehensive technology solutions for businesses. They specialize in developing and implementing cutting-edge IT products and solutions to meet the needs of various business models in the rapidly evolving cloud, digital, and technology landscape as a preferred partner to CIO office.
Challenge:
Uneecops was running their SAP workload in a public cloud environment, utilizing both HANA and MSSQL databases. They found themselves facing a critical decision:
whether to continue with their current cloud vendor or switch to AWS. Their key concerns were reliability, performance, security, and cost-effectiveness.
Proposed Solution:
Redington, as a trusted partner, proposed a comprehensive solution to address Uneecops’ challenges, focusing on a structured approach:
Assessment Phase:
Redington initiated the project with a thorough assessment, delving into resource evaluation, workload analysis, and cost projections. This phase also included a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison, workload migration strategies, and target architecture planning. Furthermore, Redington conducted a Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA) to gauge Uneecops’ preparedness for cloud adoption.
Mobilize Phase:
During this phase, Redington and Uneecops collaborated on a Proof of Concept (PoC) with a minimal workload. The PoC served to familiarize Uneecops with the migration process and establish success criteria. Redington set up an AWS Landing Zone, enabling efficient multi-account architecture management, identity and access management, governance, data security, network design, and logging. Additionally, they performed an AWS Well-Architected Review to identify and rectify design issues while adhering to best practices.
Migration Phase:
Redington executed the migration of Uneecops’ actual workloads within a timeframe of four to six weeks. They employed AWS CDK templates to ensure a robust deployment approach. Database replication was carried out concurrently within specified deadlines, and contingency plans were established for a seamless transition.
Enhancements and Security Measures:
The entire process required effective team coordination, strategic planning, and evaluation of different platforms. Additionally, Redington utilized other AWS features to enhance the customer’s environment, including:
AWS Services used
AWS Control Tower, AWS Organizations, Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Block Store(EBS), Amazon VPC, AWS VPN, AWS Backup, AWS IAM, Amazon S3, AWS CloudTrail, Amazon CloudWatch
Outcome:
Redington followed AWS well architected framework to achieve the most secure and cost-effective environment. The outcomes were:
- Problem-free transition between the Pilot and the Migration phases.
- Complete Applications and Databases migration completed with minimal downtime and negligible business impact.
- Significant improvement in applications performance
- AWS operating model helped manage the infrastructure better.
- Enhanced support
- Automated deployments minimized human intervention, enabling rapid go-to-market.
- Uneecops achieved 25% cost reduction compared to their previous environment.
- All migrated workloads are currently running smoothly on AWS without any downtime.
