Managed Cloud Migration Case Study in KZN
ITC Systems migrated the business-critical ERP application, SQL databases and associated data of a KwaZulu-Natal distribution business to managed cloud infrastructure. The project addressed reliance on ageing onsite hardware and introduced a centrally managed server environment. Storage separation and automated backups formed part of the approach to ongoing operation and recovery planning.
The Challenge
Ageing onsite infrastructure raised concerns about hardware reliability, backup arrangements and future growth. The business needed to move its operational systems while limiting disruption to employees.
The ITC Systems Solution
ITC Systems designed the cloud server environment and migrated the application, database workloads and business data. Storage was separated for operating systems and applications, SQL workloads, and backup and log data. The planned cutover was scheduled outside normal business hours, with automated backups configured for ongoing protection.
Project Outcome
The business reduced its dependence on ageing onsite servers and gained a centrally managed environment for its core applications. The cloud platform provided a more adaptable basis for capacity planning and backup management.
