Customer Story: High velocity and secure Lift-and-Shift migration to AWS
A large multinational contract foodservice company engaged Slalom to help migrate their major production workloads running on VMware as well as supporting infrastructure from their on-prem data center into AWS.
The Slalom team worked closely with our client's infrastructure and application teams to deliver a lift-and-shift migration. This required a discovery phase to collect compute, storage, and network information, several app owner interviews to determine dependencies and requirements for the applications and partnering with the client to support several weekend migration waves. An AWS supported replication tool was leveraged to prepare for and implement the migration. HiPPA compliance was also a key consideration for this migration work.
As a result, in 7 months we were able to migrate over 700 servers and multiple revenue-sensitive workloads into AWS with minimal service disruption, identified over 100 servers to decommission, and provided significant cost savings associated with licensing by leveraging dedicated hosts for SQL Server Enterprise.
