Business Challenges
- The client had over 50 business-critical applications to be migrated to AWS Cloud
- Few hurdles the client was facing were- Increase in IT operational cost, Legacy infrastructure environment, Manual build and release processes, Non-alignment of SLAs with business needs, Lack of technical architects, increased traffic load etc.
Solution Offered
- AdfarTech migrated all the services from two data centers (from 2 locations) in 9 sprints to AWS.
