Our client, a leading personal systems and printing company, is actively expanding into 3D printing and other novel computing experiences. They previously relied on an ASP.NET and Microsoft SQL Server-based on-premises application, hosted on Windows 2012 SE servers running IIS.

As part of a large-scale data center exit program, the client is analyzing all applications to determine whether to re-host, re-platform, or refactor them, with a strong preference for re-platforming and retiring legacy infrastructure. To support this initiative, the application's transactional MS SQL database was earmarked for migration to an Amazon RDS instance on AWS.

Business challenges

Our client needed to complete their data center exit within a strict time frame without transferring their existing technical debt to the cloud. To ensure a sustainable transition, the client faced several key challenges:

Accelerated assessment: Conducting a deep-dive analysis into the use cases, technology stacks, and release management processes for multiple on-premises, business-critical applications.
Architecture design: Building a forward-looking, cloud-ready architecture utilizing cloud-native services to support seamless refactoring and periodic future upgrades.
Operational optimization: Improving overall management efficiency, reducing hosting costs, and ensuring database performance that scales alongside business needs.
Database modernization: Transitioning to a highly available (HA), performant, and natively managed AWS database to eliminate the burden of on-premises maintenance.
