The Ambition
A global pharmaceutical company with over 3,000 employees, managing critical workloads across fragmented legacy datacenters and multiple public clouds.
The Challenge
Their IT landscape was dangerously fragmented, with over 150 VMs on aging hardware in a third-party datacenter and another 80+ VMs hosted on AWS. This dual setup resulted in frequent hardware failures, high maintenance costs, disconnected security and backup systems, and a complete lack of unified visibility, creating massive operational overhead.
The Architectural Blueprint
The client's ambition was to build a modern, future-ready cloud platform that could eliminate the operational risks and escalating costs of their aging hardware. They needed a unified solution that would provide a single point of management for their entire VMware environment, enhance security, and lay the foundation for future digital innovation.
Ambition, Realized
The migration transformed a fragmented, high-risk infrastructure into a secure, future-ready cloud platform. The transition was achieved with zero downtime for their critical workloads. By retiring legacy infrastructure and reducing their AWS dependency, they achieved a significant ~35% cost reduction. They now have a centralized, resilient, and efficient platform, which has set the stage for their next phase of application modernization and digital innovation.
