Enterprise Cloud Migration

Case Study: Complete AWS Cloud Transformation

Discover how we completed a full migration from legacy on-premise systems to AWS cloud for a manufacturing company, focusing on security, compliance, and zero-downtime.

Cloud Computing

Project Overview

A complex enterprise cloud migration for an established manufacturing company with 500+ employees. The project included the complete transformation of outdated on-premise infrastructure to a modern, scalable AWS cloud architecture with strict compliance and security requirements.

The Challenge

The company struggled with outdated IT infrastructure that hindered growth. The on-premise systems were expensive, difficult to maintain, and offered limited scalability. Additionally, there were security risks and compliance challenges:

  • High infrastructure costs with limited ROI
  • Outdated servers with frequent downtime and maintenance issues
  • Limited scalability during peak loads
  • Security vulnerabilities and compliance concerns
  • Long deployment times and lack of disaster recovery

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive cloud-first architecture with phased migration, containerization, auto-scaling capabilities, and enterprise security measures. The focus was on zero-downtime migration and maintaining compliance.

AWS Infrastructure

Multi-AZ deployment with EC2, RDS, S3, and CloudFront CDN

Containerization

Docker containers with Kubernetes orchestration on EKS

Security & Compliance

IAM, VPC, encryption at rest/transit, compliance monitoring

DevOps & Automation

CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
