Sol-Tec uses Corent SurPaas to assess Microsoft Azure Migration opportunities for an NHS customer
The Project
Sol-Tec’s NHS customer is a part of the UK’s biggest health content sharing portal. It wanted to assess its data centres across the country for opportunities to migrate to Microsoft Azure.
Sol-Tec used SurPaaS®, a Corent Technology partner product, to conduct a cloud assessment. The results were compiled into a report, which outlined the cloud migration feasibilities of each data centre and its servers in detail.
The Challenges
-
Customer wanted to analyse each of its 6 locations separately for migration planning.
-
Had to understand the infrastructure landscape and dependencies between resources for effective migration planning.
-
Needed a migration strategy for 100+ End-of-Life (EOL) Windows servers to Microsoft Azure.
-
Required a cost analysis, including cost saving opportunities, that a move to cloud would deliver in the long-term.
The Solution
-
Individual cloud feasibility reports were generated for the 6 different customer locations.
-
SurPaaS® identified the move groups available in the infrastructure based on the dependency mapping and helped define an optimal cloud migration strategy.
-
Microsoft Azure’s capability to migrate EOL servers with extended support for Windows, was recommended.
-
Cost analysis was performed with 3-year reserved instances available on Microsoft Azure, for effective budgeting.
-
Recommendation to consolidate the workload components during Microsoft Azure migration to optimise cost savings.
The Result
Migration strategy for each customer location was defined individually using SurPaaS®, with the business needs of the customer taken into account.
