Client Need
The client faced several challenges with their legacy infrastructure:

- Phase 0: A detailed roadmap for the migration, including defining the architectural changes required for a smooth transition
- Phase 1: Platform Migration – Moving the existing platform to AWS
- Phase 2: Content Migration – The content, constituting approximately 200TB of data, was migrated to the new platform without any loss or distortion
- Phase 3: Application Migration – The applications were moved to a modernized IBM+AWS infrastructure
- Phase 4: Rigorous testing and validation were conducted to ensure that the migration was successful, and the new platform could go live without any issues
Key Benefits
The migration project brought about several significant benefits for the client:
- Cost Savings: The transition resulted in more than a 50% cost reduction in managing and maintaining the old platform, as they were no longer burdened with the expenses associated with the outdated AS-400 and IBM CMOD system
