Redington Carried out a thorough assessment of KIMS on-premises datacenter, studied the environment clearly and a detailed inventory list was prepared by having the following parameters in the infrastructure:
By migrating the on premises data to AWS S3 Storage, and using the Lifecycle policy the data is moved to low cost storage Glacier, with same availability and durability of S3.
The data at rest are encrypted in S3 using KMS, and the data in transit are secured through the HTTPS requests.
Continuously monitored the AWs S3 Storage using AWS CloudWatch metrics, AWS CloudTrail is used to collect the logs of the AWS Environment for the audit and HIPPA and Organizational compliance.
Using automation logs of the Database was frequently sent to the AWS S3 storage. Cross region replication was enabled for the Database log to maintain the records in the different region and to achieve multiple level of redundancy.
The on-premises environment had no backup and DR strategy in place. On AWS, the Redington Team had configured automatic scripts to create snapshots of every volume and store them in Amazon simple storage service for the nightly backups of data.
10 TB of archival data present in the on-premises SAN storage needs to be backed up to Amazon S3. For backup of this data, cloudberry tool was used to back up to Amazon S3 frequently. Using the Amazon S3 lifecycle policies, the data was moved to glacier to optimize the cost of the storage.
