The bank turned to Cloud9 Reply to carry out a complete assessment of its Cloud Readiness on a vast IT infrastructure consisting of more than 12,000 servers. The objective was to obtain a clear mapping of the application and infrastructure landscape, identifying the applications and systems most suitable for cloud migration and defining a strategy that would guarantee scalability, operational efficiency and compliance with regulatory requirements in the finance sector.
The main objective was to analyze and evaluate a complex infrastructure consisting of more than 10,000 servers, distributed over different data centers, to define a migration strategy to a Multi Cloud model. The bank aimed to identify the most suitable applications for migration, evaluating their technological and business potential, and to establish a clear plan to optimize costs, increase operational agility and ensure the continuity of services. The solution also had to comply with strict finance regulations, ensuring security and compliance at every stage of the project.
The size and complexity of the bank's IT infrastructure represented a significant challenge, with critical applications, legacy systems, and a high degree of interdependence between processes. It was necessary to evaluate the technical feasibility of migrating each component, considering technological obsolescence and operational impact. In addition, the organization required a roadmap that balanced modernization needs with continuous operation, while addressing the need to meet the strict security and compliance standards required by the financial sector.
Cloud9 Reply conducted an in-depth evaluation of the bank's entire IT infrastructure, using a structured framework based on analysis questionnaires, interviews with stakeholders and automated tools to collect data on applications, servers and architectures. Each system was evaluated according to two fundamental dimensions: Cloud Readiness and Cloud Value, to determine the technical readiness and the potential value of the migration.
The applications were mapped in a Cloud Matrix, which made it possible to identify priorities for migration, differentiating between quick wins, complex transformations and applications that required further evaluation. For each application, a path based on the 5R framework (Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect, Replace, Retain) has been defined, ensuring detailed and personalized planning.
Thanks to this methodology, a clear and scalable roadmap was created that optimized the use of resources, reducing risks related to migration and ensuring business continuity. The solution also complied with the specific security and compliance requirements of the banking sector, supporting the customer in the transition to a resilient and performing Multi Cloud model.
Thanks to Cloud9 Reply's structured approach, the customer has obtained a clear strategy for IT transformation, reaping significant benefits in terms of efficiency, security and business continuity.
This success story demonstrates how Cloud9 Reply is able to design and guide Cloud Readiness projects even for complex infrastructures, offering strategic value to customers and supporting them in achieving their goals of modernization and operational efficiency.
