Data Center Migration Services High Velocity Migration to Leverage Full Benefits of the Cloud

The Cloud is Inevitable Cloudreach believe it is not about if, but when enterprises move their IT and digital environments to the cloud The majority of traditional IT vendors and systems integrators treat the shift to public cloud platforms as an iteration of the old. This is not only wrong but could also prove dangerous. Using old thinking around security, process, procurement, operations, application development and deployment means your organization will not make the most of what public cloud platforms can offer. We believe public cloud platforms present a clear transformational shift in IT and change everything. For everyone. This means the planning, migration, integration, transition to and operation of cloud platforms must be approached in a brand new way, with new tools and a fresh set of skills. We have empowered some of the largest and best known enterprises in the world to realize the benefits of cloud. This is achieved through embracing not only technologies such as Amazon Web Services, but also by adopting the culture and processes through the introduction of methods such as DevOps, continuous integration and continuous delivery. These new concepts, together with cloud platforms, will enable you to develop and release new products and services significantly faster, with lower risk, at a lower cost and more frequently than ever before. The advent of cloud computing is a massive business opportunity for organizations across all industries. This is your moment to break the mould and set your organization off on a new path. Be bold - you’ll never regret it. ©2016 Cloudreach Limited

Our customers Cloud Data Center Digital Estates

Our migration from a fully hosted environment to AWS was both seamless and transformational. This dynamic infrastructure allowed our business objectives to be executed at an accelerated rate. Brendan McPartlan VP of Operations and Infrastructure, Digital Solutions

The Economist were looking for a solution that offered both operational and cost efficiencies, as well as a platform that allowed them to add new functionality and features to improve the experience for its online readership. Cloudreach achieved successful website migration via replatforming and refactoring, as well as automation and implementation of a disaster recovery solution. Using DevOps principles to automate stack recovery in the environment, the Operations team no longer have to ‘firefight’ to keep the digital environments running smoothly and can spend their time on tasks that bring tangible value to the business. The Economist achieved significant cost savings by moving to the cloud, seeing a Return on Investment of 9 months for the entire project (professional services, hosting and support) versus the cost to stay on their traditional environment.

High Velocity Data Center Migration Delaware North needed a detailed migration strategy to minimize disruption to company operations, and worked closely with Cloudreach on the project execution.

“Cloudreach was instrumental in helping us continue to run a 24/7 global business while migrating our entire enterprise infrastructure” Scott Mercer Head Service-Oriented Architecture Team at DNC.

The most dramatic physical change was the elimination of 205 servers; everything running on that hardware was migrated to AWS. Six months into the cloud migration, benefits included: cost-effective security compliance, enhanced disaster recovery, and faster deployment times for new services.
