Contact us

Within the scope of the Data Management Solutions to Cloud Migration Service, we analyze your current landscape, come up with a solution that best matches the target infrastructure, roll it out, and finally migrate the data, verifying that everything is supported and working as planned.

Follow the personalized data migration roadmap we tailor to the specifics of your business operations and move to the cloud properly. Forget about procuring additional computing power, paying for the resources you no longer use, and maintaining a vast stockpile of servers for good.

NO-CHARGE INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT

The cloud has democratized access to technology, and there are offerings that cover every possible customer need, from multiple architectures to varying services and performance levels. This explosion of choice can cause costs to spiral out of control when not managed with shared accountability across a business.

That is why we recommend that our clients start their cloud journey with an infrastructure assessment, so they can maximize the value of the cloud. Our technology experts and enterprise architects focus on your specific requirements and desired outcomes of the data migration. Together, we build a roadmap that meets your exact needs.

Inside our assessment, you’ll uncover:

  1. Cost & Resource Insights: A clear view on what’s needed, tailored to fit your budget.
  2. Optimization Tips: Direct advice on enhancing your solution in the cloud environment.
  3. Data Enhancements: Strategies to improve storage, consolidation, and analytics.
  4. Security Guidance: Key compliance and security measures for cloud migration.
  5. Risk Identification: A rundown of potential technical hurdles.
  6. Innovation Avenues: Opportunities for leveraging predictive analytics & ML for business growth.

Cloud Migration Expertise from A to Z

RESOURCE-ORIENTED COST-EFFICIENCY

RESOURCE-ORIENTED COST-EFFICIENCY

If the amount of data you process in legacy on-premises storage has grown considerably, we will help you optimize the data processing value/costs ratio and easily scale your data management resources — both hard- and software — up or down, depending on your actual needs.

UNLIMITED SCALING

UNLIMITED SCALING

Unlike scaling on-premises infrastructure, you will have your software and hardware resources supported by an external provider, which will allow you to focus on your core business processes.

CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE

CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE

Unlike in-house migration, the solution provided is built from a wide range of available tools, enabling you to migrate without downgrading the performance of the target system from the first release.

KNOW MORE ABOUT IBA GROUP’S APPROACH TO

WHY

  • Transition away from open-source software with limited or no support
  • Reduce the costs and challenges of data center maintenance and upgrades
  • Manage significant data growth
  • Achieve high redundancy

TARGET

Snowflake’s Data Cloud on: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform

USE CASE: REVOLUTIONIZING DATA ANALYTICS WITH SNOWFLAKE’S PARALLEL PROCESSING POWER
A company operates a large-scale analytical product facing challenges with its event-driven architecture using Docker+K8s. The system struggles under numerous parallel connections to PostgreSQL DB instances for analytics, handling approximately 300 million rows and over 10 TB of data and with a daily growth of around 300,000 new rows.

Migration to Snowflake:
Enables dynamic scaling in and out; resources are provisioned instantly, allowing it to manage numerous parallel connections as needed.

BENEFITS

  • 70% reduction in operational expenses
  • 99% decrease in idle time
  • 50x faster processing of parallel analytics requests

SUBMIT YOUR CASE FOR A TAILORED ASSESSMENT

WHY

  • Reduce the complexity of on-premises infrastructure
  • Enhance security measures
  • Eliminate maintenance costs for servicing, updates, and upgrades
  • Lower data management expenses
  • Achieve high redundancy

TARGET

Snowflake’s Data Cloud on: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform

USE CASE: MS SQL SERVER ENTERPRISE OPTIMIZATION 

A company operates a SQL Server Enterprise with 350 GB of RAM and about 2 TB of data. Users run analytics queries throughout the day, and the high maintenance and monitoring costs of the current SQL Server system slow down the team’s development activities.

Migration to Snowflake:
Snowflake setup involved establishing separate ETL warehouses and known-workload warehouses, apart from user warehouses. This approach allowed for the optimization of stable workloads and cost management separately from more variable user-facing workloads.

BENEFITS

  • 100% decrease in capital expenses due to a local data center shutdown
  • 20% decrease in operational expenses
  • 80% increase in staff focus on innovation
  • 400x faster access to analytics for users

SUBMIT YOUR CASE FOR A TAILORED ASSESSMENT

WHY

  • Performance bottlenecks in handling massive transactional data
  • Minimizing expenses and challenges associated with datacenter maintenance and upgrades
  • Reducing the burden on IT staff
  • Need for high redundancy

TARGET

Azure SQL Database (PaaS),  Azure SQL Managed Instance (PaaS),  SQL Server on Azure VMs (IaaS)

USE CASE: SCALING EFFICIENCY WITH AZURE CLOUD SERVICES

A company has experienced exponential growth, doubling annually for the last 8 years. Initially, scaling was manageable, but as growth continued, challenges related to data centers, networking, vendor management, and lengthy lead times for hardware procurement became significant obstacles. From the fifth to the eighth year, traditional growth methods through physical infrastructure expansion were no longer viable.

Migration to Azure Cloud

The company transitioned to using Microsoft Azure, leveraging its native cloud services like Azure Queue Service. This allowed for the handling of billions of events per day without the need to invest in and maintain costly data center infrastructure and engineers.

BENEFITS

  • 100% decrease in capital expenses due to local data center shutdown
  • 30% decrease in operational expenses
  • 60% increase in development speed and greater productivity

How does cloud migration work with IBA Group?

Cloud migration with IBA involves a three-step process.
Step 1 Mobilization. Defining migration goals, scope, risks, and model of work (Scrum/Kanban).
Step 2 Initial Iteration. Final approval of terms, scope, team, milestones, goals, etc. for MVP.
Step 3 Pilot Iteration(s). Iterational/continuous process with discussions about unplanned changes. Presentation of MVP.
Correction of the high level plan.

How long does a cloud migration take?

With IBA Group as your cloud migration partner, we’ll prove the value of the cloud and jumpstart your broader migration. In about 2 months, you will:

  • get your MVP application in the cloud,
  • get experience planning & migrating an application to AWS,
  • get a comprehensive migration assessment complete with visibility into your projected, optimized in-cloud cost,
  • be ready to continue.
Why migrate to the cloud?

The cloud provides multiple engagement models to match your budget and help to reduce fixed costs and total cost of ownership. This helps speed up infrastructure growth and introduce new capabilities (AI, Data Visualization, and more).

What are the factors that influence migration cost?

The final amount depends on a range of factors, such as:

The complexity of the current IT infrastructure (e.g., warehouses and database size – how many schemas and tables should be migrated);

The data volume to be migrated;

  • The chosen migration strategy; e.g., rehosting requires fewer efforts than refactoring, therefore it’s less expensive;
  • The current IT infrastructure’s migration readiness;
  • The extent of migration automation and the cost of migration automation software licenses;
  • Testing coverage.
