The Challenges
Managing Performance and Continuity Risks
The client cooperates with a great number of world brands and serves thousands of businesses and customers every day. The smooth operation of their system as well as the ability to scale were top priorities for ensuring business continuity and operations.
The IT infrastructure was located in two places: OVH Cloud for the main e-commerce web site and an on-premises server for accounting operations. IT infrastructure in OVH which was located on one server (application servers and database), was not scalable, had security breaches and monolithic architecture.
To meet the increasing market demands, and to deliver only the best customer experience Romexsoft suggested Goragany AWS migration services, so their existing will be shifted to a scalable, highly available, and secure AWS environment.
The Solution
OVHcloud Migration to AWS
Romexsoft, as an AWS Consulting Partner, provided Gorgany with the detailed professional expertise and analysis of their current infrastructure and developed a plan of migration to AWS according to the best cloud practices. To meet the client’s initial requirements Romexsoft successfully performed a lift-and-shift migration to AWS public cloud.
AWS provides a variety of infrastructure services like computing power, hosting options, networks, and databases which are available in just a few seconds with the pay-as-you-go model. AWS has a great technical support team that answers quickly and clarifies every doubt about the services with well-structured documentation.
AWS cloud is a perfect place to move your workloads and be sure the infrastructure is scalable, reliable, and secure. Based on its AWS expertise and migration competency, Romexsoft managed to securely migrate customers’ infrastructures to AWS.
