Siatik assisted Mycomax with planning and migrating their production workloads from a colocated hosted environment to Google Cloud Platform, as well as ensuring that target infrastructure, security, and networking best practices were adhered to.
The Challenge | The Solution | The Result |
The Mycomax production environment was hosted on inflexible colocated infrastructure provided by a 3rd party, and running on a mixture of aging infrastructure experiencing capacity issues that were negatively impacting application performance. The provider was also unprepared to allow the migration teams access to the underlying infrastructure, limiting the teams’ migration options. | The multidisciplinary migration approach allowed teams to create copies of the environment and test to ensure that the solution would meet requirements. The scalability and flexibility of the GCP environment allowed the team to appropriately benchmark the environment prior to migration, and once the application was commissioned, were able to rightsize workloads to ensure the best user experience. | The Google Cloud Platform gave the Mycomax team the flexibility to rapidly change the configuration of hosted GCP infrastructure to find the perfect balance between resource allocation and user experience. The application also allowed the team the flexibility to quickly modify the environment to meet changing requirements, something that was time-consuming and complicated in the past. |
GCP enables us to serve our African clients with class-leading technology and we have seen massive improvements in client experience as a result.
Leveraging cloud resources means we now have a real-time view of production performance and can easily scale as required. Choosing the right platform and partner was key to our success in modernizing the way we had been operating for over a decade.
