  • Industry: Government​
  • Location: UK

Key Metrics

  • Cloud Adoption Plan in line with objectives​
  • Migration to cloud​
  • Cost Optimisation​
  • 5 days to complete​
  • Azure migrate data source​
  • 180 servers​
  • No application data

Objectives

Modernise and migrate the current on-prem estate of 180 servers to Azure cloud, whilst achieving cost optimisation and using cloud services as a preference.

Specific objectives:

  • Cloud First​
  • Cost Optimisation

Approach

  • The primary migration method is Azure Migrate for re-host primarily to be used for Windows & Linux servers.​​
  • The remainder are targeted for re-factor.​​
  • Junkshon recommend a mass migration and a subsequent transformation / optimisation programme once complete.​
  • Ensure Azure recommendations achieve cost saving where possible​

Results

  • 169 servers to rehost​
  • 11 servers to re-platform​
  • No application-specific treatments​
  • 5 month migration plan (2 months enablement, 3 months execution)​
  • No AS-IS costs to compare, but with a review of the assessment with the customer, we used our benchmark cost data to provide a directional business case.​

  • Application and infrastructure estate analysis.
  • High-level business case based upon technical debt priorities, including OS, hardware and applications.
  • Migration treatment analysis based upon the 6Rs definitions.

Results

  • Rapid discovery, assessment, and cloud strategy development, enabling first migrations in under 20 days.
  • Migration ASIS and TOBE architectural model, including technology, treatments and landing zone identification.
  • Server wave grouping and mapping to applications.
  • Migration risk analysis and mitigation report.
  • Multiple migration scenarios, including business cases covering migration and cloud costs, for the following technical domains:
  • Windows 2003 upgrade 
  • RedHat rehosting 
  • AIX migration to the cloud, including web/services and java applications.
