AWS
Successful Migration of Data from
Multiple VDMs to AWS Cloud
Hybrid on-premise DC/AWS implementation to a pure AWS implementation
Our Customer's Challenge
The customer needed to modernize their core web applications and scheduling system databases to meet an upcoming regulatory compliance audit. With their original IT environment heavily rooted in traditional computing, they wanted to move towards a public cloud provider like AWS.
They hosted their applications across Multiple VMS' and other Multiple environments. All of which needed migration from a hybrid on-premises DC/AWS implementation to a pure AWS implementation to fulfil the compliance requirements and migrate their services from an open-source virtual machine hosting to AWS (a provider they were already familiar with) in just a few weeks.

The Solution We Offered
Migration To AWS Cloud
To move out of the existing hosted environment and into AWS in a well-architected, performant and compliant fashion, DT completed a comprehensive Cloud Assessment along with dependency mapping to give an unbiased, multi-cloud provider feasibility and cost assessment.
Data Continuity Plan
Next, Digital Track completed a data continuity plan by leveraging native AWS tools like CloudFormation. In addition, DT fully automated the deployment processes, using Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD tooling across the newly created AWS accounts and services.
Automation Processes
Once planning was complete, Digital Track successfully migrated and tested customer's lower environments, using automated processes.
DevOps Approach
After each phase of the migration like proof of concept, integration testing, full migration, our team validated all requirements by testing and implementing them across the lower environments and then promoting the VMS into each environment through production. Furthermore, DT helped the Customer to establish a well-defined and refined DevOps approach.
The Benefits For Our Customer
The Key Benefits Included:
- Our customer was able to meet tight audit deadlines and compliance needs
- Reduced costs by leveraging AWS services to replace infrastructure services previously hosted as VMS
- Achieved cost efficiency, faster processes, and deployment
- Ease of use and application management
As a result of this project, the customer team now has a modernized, documented, and automated environment that is secure, reliable, performant, and cost-efficient. The new environment not only met the customer’s audit and compliance requirements, but it also aligned with AWS’ well-architected strategy and ensured a solid foundation for the customer as they expand their usage within the platform.
