Migrating VMWare Infrastructure to Microsoft Azure
The client is an international architecture and design firm recognized for developing exceptional architectural design solutions that generate business results in the workplace, community, healthcare and retail industries.
The client was running their offices, server & network infrastructure, virtual desktop infrastructure on a hosted data center. The client was using Horizon virtual desktops and running in VMWare platform. The client has their offices across America and clients all around the world and increasing, their existing system was unable to handle the data influx. The client faced troubles in scaling up which resulted in huge operational costs and lack of efficiency.
SNP Technologies partnered with the client to migrated them to Microsoft Azure. We leveraged technologies like Azure IaaS and Citrix VDI to make the client production ready. The client has seen a remarkable improvement in the speed and efficiency of its IT service delivery. The Azure migration has provided the client a stable, secure, high performance of virtual desktops running on Azure IaaS. Some of the most significant improvements the client experienced include:
• The client now operates on a highly stable Azure IaaS with zero downtime from the date of migration.
• The client’s infrastructure management time has reduced by 80% with support from SNP’s managed services team.
