Phase 1: Migrate to The Cloud

The first phase consisted of a migration from the existing infrastructure to AWS, with a subset of refactoring, to meet specific cost optimization targets. Phase one required careful planning, team coordination, and detailed research into the customer’s existing application infrastructure, deployment processes, monitoring and alerting frameworks, and data persistence tier. The team then presented a migration strategy with preliminary architecture and cost estimates to Acoustic’s leadership team. The roadmap aligned closely with Acoustic’s goals and vision, giving the company complete confidence for the migration journey under such a condensed timeline.

"We needed to migrate to AWS and modernize our workloads to support our cloud-based marketing platform and reduce high IT costs. This was a massive project that involved more than 6,300 servers from 12 global data centers and 8 full stack applications on an aggressive 10-month timeframe. The project was a tremendous success, thanks to our collaboration with ClearScale. They managed to complete this ambitious project on time - when other AWS consulting partners said it couldn’t be done."
