CHALLENGE

Migrate Windows Workloads to the Cloud while Reducing Infrastructure Costs. Reduce Hardware and Database Management Overhead while Retaining Support for Pre-existing Authentication. Achieve Better Fault Tolerance for Windows Applications.

The technology team at Savana wanted to migrate its fleet of Windows workloads to an enterprise-grade cloud platform while reducing its infrastructure costs, taking advantage of bundled Microsoft licensing, and improving its overall security posture.

Savana needed to reduce hardware and database management overhead on a subset of its SQL Server databases while retaining support for pre-existing authentication methods. In addition, it needed to achieve better fault tolerance for its Windows applications, including improved traffic visibility and protection against web attacks.

Ultimately, this would involve implementing a centralized way to gather operational insights and automating routine management tasks like patches and deployment.

THE SOLUTION

  • Migrating to Microsoft Solutions on AWS with EC2 and RDS
  • Leveraging AWS Managed Microsoft AD and AWS RDS for SQL Server, allowing Savana to integrate Windows Authentication with its on-premises Active Directory
  • Integrating EC2 instances with AWS Systems Manager for remote PowerShell administration and automation, combined with Patch Manager, CloudWatch, and Maintenance Windows, helping Savana achieve the operational management desired on AWS
