One of the world's largest data bureaus spanning credit reporting, risk management, and identity verification for financial institutions, insurers, retailers, and healthcare providers needed to migrate 70+ mission-critical on-prem applications to Google Cloud Platform within an accelerated timeline, ahead of a planned data center shutdown. Softility executed a hybrid rehost-and-replatform migration strategy, eliminating on-prem infrastructure costs while meeting strict governance, risk, and compliance requirements.
Challenge
-
Legacy on-prem data centers carried high maintenance, security, and infrastructure costs, with limited flexibility to scale dynamically.
-
A hard deadline: The existing data centers were scheduled for termination, requiring rapid migration of 70+ mission-critical applications without disrupting biz operations.
-
Migrating a diverse technology stack across development, production, and database environments demanded orchestration of cloud-native tools and Infrastructure-as-Code, while integrating with the customer's existing DevSecOps platform under strict GRC frameworks..
Solution
Softility conducted detailed dependency mapping and designed a hybrid Rehost and Replatform approach across 70+ applications. We executed a structured VM migration strategy that minimizes disruption, and leverages GCP’s IaaS capabilities and persistent disk storage for performance, in a scalable, secure environment with IaC automation. On the unique DevSecOps collaboration platform that we helped them build, we created automated pipelines for seamless workload integration with new cloud data lakes. IAM policies, encryption, and governance controls were implemented to meet global regulatory standards automatically.
Benefits:
-
Eliminated on-prem data center costs, significantly reducing IT infrastructure spend while meeting a strict shutdown deadline.
-
Near-zero downtime migration, with automated patch management, monitoring, and provisioning replacing manual intervention.
-
Enhanced scalability and AI-readiness, with computing resources available on demand and improved real-time threat detection and compliance alerting..
