Rapid Cloud Migration: Kablamo guided the client through their first AWS migration, transferring business-critical VMs using AWS Server Migration in just 9 weeks.
Knowledge Transfer: The project included key training and documentation to allow the client’s operations team to manage and grow the new cloud environment independently.
Future-Ready: The well-governed, best-practice AWS environment provides a repeatable framework for migrating additional global data centres.
The Approach
After analysis of the client’s computing infrastructure and business needs, Kablamo suggested AWS Server Migration as a suitable tool to transfer their VMs into the cloud.
The approach included:
- Detailed migration timeline using native AWS tools
- CloudFormation, CodeCommit and CodeBuild for automation
- Fast, reliable network link from data centres into AWS
- Agile framework with Kablamo and client teams working side by side
- Upskilling of client staff to utilise the new system
The Results
The project set the client up to move other global data centres into AWS. They now have a well-governed, best-practice AWS environment, strong network design and connectivity, repeatable frameworks and valuable internal experience to equip them for future cloud migrations.
By working in close collaboration and sharing critical knowledge with the client and its stakeholders, Kablamo ensured both the project’s success and established a strong, cloud-centric future for the company.
