How Accelerated AWS Cloud Migration Helped Our Client Shut Down Their Data Centre and Save 40%

The Challenge

Our client supports businesses in reducing their environmental footprint while meeting operational goals. Their infrastructure was running on an on-premises data centre that had become costly and difficult to scale. 

They wanted to: 

  • Migrate 200+ servers to AWS within five months 
  • Handle several databases over 1TB each 
  • Retire their physical data centre to cut costs and improve efficiency 

The tight deadline and large workloads made this project complex. 

The Teleglobal Solution

We began with a complete audit of the client’s existing infrastructure to plan the migration path. Based on the findings, our experts adopted a lift and shift migration approach for most workloads. 

Key Actions Taken: 

  • Built a landing zone aligned with the client’s global cloud architecture 
  • Used AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) and CloudEndure Migration for faster transfer 
  • Migrated business-critical Oracle applications (Hyperion Suite, Oracle E-Business Suite, and others) in parallel 
  • Planned optimisation of applications unsuitable for immediate lift and shift after the migration phase 
  • Ensured minimal downtime between on-premises systems and AWS environment 

The entire transition, including large database migrations, was completed in under four months (110 days). 

The Outcomes

The accelerated migration delivered significant benefits: 

  • 40% operational cost savings after closing the data centre 
  • Faster time to market with AWS scalable services 
  • High availability and scalability for workloads 
  • Stronger security through AWS identity and access controls 
  • Reduced IT maintenance efforts with cloud-native automation 

The client was able to retire their on-premises data centre and run fully on AWS Cloud infrastructure.
