The Business Challenge
The institution needed to migrate its entire on-premises infrastructure to AWS while modernizing its existing Landing Zone and ensuring cost efficiency.
Challenges included:
Landing Zone Optimization:
Required comprehensive review of network, IAM, and governance frameworks.
Complex Infrastructure Landscape:
Understanding dependencies across 118 VMs, 12 VDIs, and 24 DR servers.
Migration Readiness:
Required detailed workload mapping, 7R classification, and migration strategy within 12 weeks.
Cost & Licensing Optimization:
Needed right-sizing analysis for Windows, SQL Server, and Linux environments.
Leadership required an enterprise-grade, AI-driven platform to deliver accurate assessment, planning, and validated migration readiness in a short timeframe.
The Concierto Solution
AI-Powered Enterprise Transformation Platform
Concierto Migrate combined AI, hyper-automation, and zero-code workflows to deliver rapid, high-quality assessment and planning—far beyond what manual processes could achieve.
Intelligent Discovery and Assessment
The platform automatically mapped applications, dependencies, and infrastructure components via both offline and online discovery. AI-driven analytics provided resource utilization, network mapping, software inventory, and process-level visibility, supporting precise migration and optimization decisions.
Hyper-Automated Migration Orchestration
Concierto eliminated manual effort through intelligent workflows for agentless discovery, workload categorization, and migration wave planning, ensuring speed, accuracy, and full visibility.
Multi-Cloud Optimization Engine
The engine analyzed performance, cost, and compliance requirements to guide workload placement and right-sizing, with AWS used strategically for maximum efficiency.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance
Concierto embedded governance, audit, and risk controls aligned with industry standards. Security assessments reviewed IAM, network design, data protection, and compliance frameworks to meet education sector regulations.
Real-Time Analytics and Optimization
Delivered continuous insights on infrastructure utilization, licensing, and cost optimization, enabling data-driven planning and readiness validation.
Implementation Excellence
Phase 1: Intelligent Assessment and Strategic Planning
Concierto's dual-phase discovery (offline and online) generated a complete Level 1 Assessment Report mapping all infrastructure, dependencies, and configurations. Online analysis enhanced this with agentless discovery, identifying utilization, network flows, and installed software.
An AWS Landing Zone assessment evaluated network design, security, IAM, and governance, producing detailed gap and optimization recommendations.
Phase 2: Automated Transformation Execution
Hyper-automated workflows executed Landing Zone optimization and migration readiness planning. Detailed wave plans defined move groups, dependencies, and execution timelines. AWS accounts, IAM, and security structures were optimized in line with best practices.
Phase 3: Validation and Pilot Migration
A 20 VM pilot migration validated Concierto's framework, confirming performance, stability, and readiness for full-scale migration. Intelligent validation provided confidence for subsequent migration waves.
