Hexad is one of the leading cloud services provider company in Bangalore. Our developers have completed many cloud solutions projects within the allotted time delivery. One project involved outsourcing the server migration from an established IT company to Hexad, with the client being a large enterprise. The main goal was to minimize downtime and technical efforts during the migration process. Hexad was tasked with executing the migration using the lift and shift method, which involves moving the servers as they are in a new environment. To ensure a smooth migration and optimal performance, Hexad provisioned the necessary AWS resources. This included setting up EC2 instances, storage volumes, and configuring networking to establish connectivity between the servers and the new environment. Furthermore, by leveraging AWS resources, Hexad aims to streamline the migration process and minimize any disruptions to the client's operations. The lift and shift approach allowed for a relatively straightforward migration, as it involved moving the servers in their current state without making significant changes to the applications or infrastructure. Through the expertise of the Hexad team and the utilization of AWS services, the client achieved a seamless migration, ensuring that all servers were successfully transferred to the new environment while minimizing downtime and technical complexities. As part of the migration to the AWS platform, Hexad implemented several key steps and solutions to ensure a successful transition: Subnet Setup: Hexad set up two private subnets, one for the Production environment and another for the Development and Testing environment. This segregation helps maintain separate environments for different stages of the software development lifecycle. Additionally, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) was configured to establish a secure connection between the client's on-premises data center and the AWS environment. IAM User Setup: Hexad created IAM (Identity and Access Management) users with specific access policies tailored to the client's requirements. This allowed both teams to have the necessary access permissions to manage and operate the AWS infrastructure effectively. IAM helps enforce security and control access to AWS resources. Custom Disk and Partition Size: Since the client had custom disk and partition sizes on their application and database servers, Hexad ensured that the EC2 instances deployed on AWS were configured with the appropriate disk sizes and partitions. This ensured compatibility with the client's existing infrastructure and maintained the required storage capacities. Sizing and Configuration: Hexad performed server sizing to match the specifications of the old servers. This involved determining the appropriate resources (CPU, memory, storage) required for each EC2 instance to achieve performance parity with the client's existing environment.
