Global Financial Services Leader Achieves Complete Datacenter Exit and 26% Cost Reduction Through Strategic AWS Migration with Concierto Migrate
Executive Summary
A leading global financial services organization modernized its multi-datacenter infrastructure through Trianz Concierto Migrate under the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), achieving a 26% reduction in hosting costs and a complete datacenter exit.
The organization faced escalating VMware Cloud licensing costs after Broadcom's acquisition and needed to migrate critical banking operations from data centers across five U.S. states without disruption.
Concierto's AI-powered automation enabled seamless migration of diverse workloads---including Windows, Linux, AWS accounts, and OpenShift applications---to ROSA across six parallel waves. This transformation established a modern AWS cloud foundation with enhanced security, compliance, and operational resilience.
Key Results:
- Cost Optimization: 26% annual hosting cost reduction through AWS migration
- Infrastructure Modernization: Complete datacenter exit and consolidation
- Operational Continuity: Zero disruption to critical banking operations
- Cloud Foundation: Secure, compliant AWS Landing Zone
- Compliance Enhancement: Strengthened controls for financial regulations

Timeline:
October 2025 -- March 2027
A leading global financial services organization with multi-datacenter infrastructure across five U.S. states, operating critical banking operations requiring complete datacenter exit and AWS migration under the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP).
The Business Challenge
With multiple data centers across the U.S., the organization's VMware Cloud infrastructure had become unsustainable as licensing costs doubled, pressuring budgets and forcing urgent modernization.
The migration scope included 70% Windows and 30% Linux workloads, AWS transitions, on-premises MUSA workloads, and OpenShift apps migrating to ROSA---all requiring zero downtime and strict compliance with financial standards.
Key challenges included:
Rising Costs:
Doubling VMware fees and legacy infrastructure overheads
Complex Scope:
Multi-platform, multi-region workloads with tight timelines
Zero-Disruption Mandate:
Uninterrupted banking services
Regulatory Compliance:
Enhanced security and audit capabilities
The Concierto Solution
AI-Powered Enterprise Platform
Concierto Migrate combined AI, hyper-automation, and reliability to deliver a zero-code, workflow-driven solution that replaced manual, error-prone processes.
Intelligent Discovery and Assessment
Automated discovery mapped applications, dependencies, and technology stacks across all data centers. The AI assessment engine provided deep insights into inventory, security, and migration readiness, guiding rehost/replatform decisions and 25--30% projected TCO savings.
Hyper-Automated Migration Orchestration
Concierto orchestrated migrations through six automated waves, eliminating manual effort, maintaining visibility, and ensuring consistency.
Multi-Strategy Migration Approach
Automated R-analysis determined optimal strategies---rehost, replatform, or account flip---modernizing legacy operating systems as needed.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Built-in governance, audit trails, and risk controls automatically ensured compliance with financial regulations.
Real-Time Analytics & Optimization
Continuous insights into performance and costs guided informed decisions during and after migration.
Implementation Excellence
Phase 1: CloudIgnite (Assess & Mobilize)
Trianz deployed four Concierto instances within AWS to perform full discovery and assessment. Automated mapping and R-analysis identified optimal migration strategies and projected 25--30% cost reduction. AWS Landing Zones were established with enterprise-grade security and networking.
Phase 2: CloudMach (Migrate)
Migration was executed across six parallel waves:
- Wave 0: Pilot with non-critical apps
- Wave 1: Rehost non-critical workloads
- Waves 2a/2b: Rehost and replatform moderate workloads
- Wave 3: Migrate complex dependencies
- Wave 4: Transition AWS workloads to new Landing Zone
- Wave 5: Migrate region-specific MUSA workloads
- Wave 6: Move OpenShift apps to ROSA
Each wave included validation, execution, testing, cutover, and two-week hypercare. End-of-life systems were upgraded to Amazon Linux 2023.
Phase 3: Optimization & Continuous Improvement
Post-migration, AI-powered analytics continuously identified cost, performance, and scaling opportunities, driving sustained optimization.
