The Challenge

The client operated a large, complex production estate in NTT data centers with dependency on on-premises hardware, limited cloud agility, and increased outage risk. The environment included diverse storage needs (ONTAP, OpenZFS, Windows FS), 258 servers across C1-C4 clusters, multiple services (RabbitMQ, Kafka, time-series and metadata databases), making operations, backups, and scaling difficult. Additionally, requirements for secure hybrid connectivity, encryption, AD integration, centralized monitoring, and compliance made migration, availability, and efficient management challenging.

Solutions

• Designed multi-AZ architecture with segregated subnets for high availability.
• Implemented Transit Gateway and Direct Connect for secure, low-latency connectivity.
• Migrated workloads to optimized Amazon EC2 instances with load balancers for scalable distribution.
• Adopted FSx storage and high-IOPS EBS volumes for diverse performance requirements.
• Configured automated AWS Backup with encrypted vaults for reliable data protection.
• Strengthened security with AWS IAM, AWS KMS encryption, AWS Config, Amazon GuardDuty, and centralized logging.
• Enabled unified monitoring with Amazon CloudWatch, Logs Insights, and Grafana dashboards.
• Automated operations using AWS Systems Manager to reduce manual effort and errors.

The Results

Achieved multi-AZ high availability, boosted performance with FSx and optimized EC2, strengthened security controls, delivered automated backup with 5,000+ recovery points at 100% success rate, and enhanced operational efficiency.
