The Challenge – Outdated infrastructure with performance bottlenecks and complex dependencies

The client faced significant challenges due to an aging infrastructure, which put the organization at risk of security breaches and operational instability. Additionally, under-provisioned servers created performance bottlenecks that hampered their ability to deliver a seamless experience for sporting events.

The complexity of their application dependencies and the need for a smooth cutover further complicated the migration process.

  • Aging Infrastructure: 51.22% of application services were outdated, risking security and stability.
  • Under Provisioned Servers: 9.25% of servers were under-provisioned, causing performance bottlenecks.
  • Database Migration: Seven databases, including MS SQL Server 2016 and 2019, required careful planning for consistency and minimal downtime.
  • Application Dependencies: 27 applications had complex dependencies needing careful management.
  • Cutover Complexity: Ensuring a smooth cutover of production workloads with minimal downtime.

The Solution – Seamless rehosting to AWS with minimal downtime and no data loss

Matilda Migrate provided a comprehensive solution to address the client’s challenges. The approach ensured compatibility with diverse on-premises environments and employed advanced data synchronization techniques to maintain consistency.

The migration strategy allowed for live data replication, reducing downtime and enabling continuous application use. By phasing the migration in wave groups, Matilda Migrate effectively managed dependencies and minimized risks.

  • Source Environment Integration: Compatibility with diverse on-premises environments.
  • Data Synchronization and Recovery: Asynchronous replication with snapshots ensured data consistency.
  • Continuous Data Migration: Live data replication allowed ongoing application use.
  • Multi-Target Migration: Replication to multiple AWS Availability Zones enhanced resilience.
  • Data Consistency Verification: Automated scripts validated data integrity post-migration
