Project Overview:

The project required an accelerated infrastructure assessment and cloud readiness evaluation covering 2,200+ Windows and Linux servers under a strict six-month timeline. The mandate demanded multi-wave scan data ingestion, process-level communication port mapping, identification of unallocated or idle assets, target cloud cost modeling, and executive report generation compliant with European banking standards.

SOLUTION APPROACH

  • Automated Data Onboarding
    Utilized native Automated Data Upload features to seamlessly ingest multi-source discovery scan data into Corent MaaS without manual intervention.
  • Granular Asset Discovery
    Enabled Infrastructure Discovery modules to extract server IP profiles, active OS states, and identify unallocated or zombie infrastructure.
  • Process-Aware Dependency Mapping
    Analyzed active communication ports and process-level traffic to establish precise application boundaries and migration groupings.
  • Multi-Wave Progress Management
    Deployed built-in Assessment Processing tracking to maintain real-time visibility across sequential enterprise discovery phases.
  • Target Cloud Cost Sizing
    Applied dynamic right-sizing algorithms to map current compute/storage utilization against target cloud pricing structures.
  • Tailored Executive Reporting
    Leveraged native reporting engines to export customized assessment views tailored for technical, financial, and executive leadership.

Accelerated Infrastructure Discovery & Cloud Readiness for Banking

CUSTOMER BACKGROUND

The largest banking and financial services group in Cyprus provides comprehensive retail, commercial, and investment services across a widespread branch and digital network. Managing a heavily regulated IT infrastructure supporting critical financial transactions, the institution needed to evaluate its extensive server estate to establish a clear foundation for enterprise cloud transformation.
     

Key Challenges:

  • Accelerated Timeline
    Completing discovery and cloud readiness evaluation across 2,200+ servers within a strict 6 month window.
  • Automated Data Integration
    Ingesting large volumes of discovery scan data automatically to eliminate manual assessment delays.
  • Inventory & Dependency Visibility
    Capturing server inventory, IP insights, usage patterns, and communication ports to mitigate migration risks.
  • Scalable Scan Processing
    Managing multi-wave assessments for large enterprise estates with uninterrupted progress tracking.
  • Cloud Cost Visibility
    Analyzing workloads and target cloud pricing models to support accurate cloud adoption budgeting.
  • Stakeholder Reporting Access
    Generating and exporting comprehensive assessment insights across multiple decision-making formats.

Strategic Value Delivered

  • 6-Month Assessment Velocity
    Rapidly evaluated 2,200+ servers on schedule, preventing project spillover costs and meeting regulatory transformation deadlines.
  • Zero-Touch Ingestion Efficiency
    Eliminated weeks of manual data entry by automating scan uploads directly into the analytics engine.
  • Estate Rationalization & Savings
    Flagged idle and unallocated servers for immediate decommissioning prior to cloud migration, saving ongoing license and hosting costs.
  • Zero-Downtime Migration Design
    Prevented application outages by isolating hidden inter-server dependencies before wave groups were finalized.
  • Predictable Cloud Spend
    Eliminated post-migration cost surprises by delivering accurate, right-sized infrastructure TCO projections.
  • Accelerated Business Case Approval
    Streamlined C-suite sign-off by providing data-backed financial and architectural transition roadmaps.

Business Impact:

Corent delivered a complete infrastructure assessment across 2,200+ servers within the required six-month window using Corent MaaS. The platform provided process-level dependency mapping, identified unallocated server assets for immediate decommissioning, and produced validated wave-based migration roadmaps, equipping executive leadership with transparent cloud cost projections and a de-risked transition strategy.
