Project Overview:

The project involved scanning and assessing over 250 Windows and Linux servers using a single Vanguard deployment. MaaS generated infrastructure assessment reports for the AWS Ohio region, enabling cloud eadiness analysis, dependency mapping, migration planning, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) assessment.

SOLUTION

  • Leveraged automated network discovery to identify servers and IPs across datacenter subnets
  • Captured communication ports, processes, and process IDs to map workload dependencies
  • Performed TCO assessments across multiple cloud pricing models
  • Recommended OS upgrades, PaaS services, or containerization alternatives
  • Applied utilization-based analysis with capacity buffers for optimal sizing
  • Analyzed traffic patterns and generated cloud network cost estimates

Challenges:

  • Identifying in-scope servers and IP addresses across the datacenter
  • Understanding application and infrastructure dependencies
  • Evaluating cloud readiness and migration costs
  • Planning migration for End-of Life (EoL) servers
  • Achieving accurate cloud right sizing recommendations
  • Estimating post-migration network costs

Accelerated Cloud Assessment and Migration Planning with MaaS

Introduction

A top-tier U.S. food manufacturing and foodservice provider initiated a large-scale cloud transformation. To support its cloud transformation initiative, the organization sought comprehensive visibility into its infrastructure landscape, application dependencies, migration readiness, and cloud costs

Industry & Region Focus

Operating within the Food & Beverage industry in Ohio, USA, the client required an efficient and scalable approach to assess its IT environment and establish a roadmap for cloud adoption.
