Case Study: Modernizing manufacturing through cloud migration
Challenge
A manufacturing company relied entirely on on-premise servers, networks, and desktop computers, creating operational vulnerabilities and high maintenance costs that hindered scalability and remote operations efficiency. The on-premise servers created severe performance problems limiting the companies ability to expand internationally.
Solution
- Analyzed existing on-premise infrastructure and identified critical vulnerabilities and inefficiencies
- Assessed cloud migration requirements and designed AWS-based architecture matching current setup
- Executed comprehensive "lift and shift" migration recreating the entire system in Amazon Web Services
- Following the "lift and shift" gone through a modernization cycle ensuring worklaods are Well-Architected
- Implemented automatic backup systems and redundant hosting for data protection
- Established managed server updates and enhanced network security protocols
- Configured scalable cloud resources to eliminate fixed capacity constraints
Results
- Eliminated facility-related downtime risks including overheating and power outage vulnerabilities
- Removed performance bottlenecks stopping international expansion.
- Reduced IT management overhead by transitioning to cloud-managed infrastructure services
- Achieved redundant data hosting with automatic backups, virtually eliminating data loss risk
- Improved remote operations efficiency through enhanced connectivity and data availability
- Streamlined maintenance with automated updates, eliminating expensive contractor visits
- Enabled dynamic resource scaling, reducing unnecessary costs while ensuring adequate capacity
The cloud migration eliminated 3am alerts and production stoppages while providing scalable, secure infrastructure that supports efficient remote operations. Expansion to 3 continents was no longer blocked by IT performance.
