As Rosti had expanded as an organisation and a global company, their IT had in large parts still been tied up on traditional on-premise solutions. This had resulted in parts of the business having challenges producing the required results in the manner that Rosti wanted.
Therefore, Rosti had a clear ambition to gain a full overview of their current IT infrastructure, leading to a Cloud migration to Azure. At the same time, Rosti wanted to outsource their Cloud operations, to focus their resources on tasks tied closer to their core business area.
Challenges summarized:
As a solution to Rosti’s three concerns regarding Cloud migration, they chose to onboard CLOUDEON’s Cloud Journey.
The Cloud Journey initially provided them with a full overview of their current IT infrastructure through CLOUDEON’s own software, OpsAI. OpsAI provided an analysis on which a business case was established.
The case was fitted to Rosti’s specific needs and pains in relation to a Cloud migration and was the baseline for a smooth and safe migration that kept Rosti’s business crucial infrastructure running.
Finally, the operations and automization of the migrated Cloud were left to CLOUDEON’s Operations-team. A natural solution to Rosti’s wish for an outsourced Cloud-operation.
Solutions summarized:
The outcomes for Rosti are going to solidify their business for years to come.
Firstly, they are equipped with an overview of their IT-estate, that will help them prepare future strategies on how to move IT closer to the core of their business.
The migration of business critical IT to Azure Cloud has resulted in new approaches to IT handling and has brought innovation and speed into the realm of IT.
Lastly, having formed the new solution to easily be handled in an outsourced operations-realm has resulted in freeing of more ressources for business-handling.
Outcomes summarized:
Rosti's migration to Azure has been set up in the Dynamic AX 2009 framework and has served to combine 10 applications with dependencies.
Next step was to rehost several servers into a SQL cluster. The migration was of data, applications and workloads and served as a point of departure of rightsizing and modernization.
The full migration project consisted of setting up a new Windows server and a rehost of a SQL server in Azure.
