Strategy & Solution

To address the challenges, CTG's team developed a comprehensive strategy for migrating to the AWS Cloud using a custom cloud-native open-source solution. The key components of our approach included:

Infrastructure Assessment: We conducted a thorough assessment of the existing infrastructure and applications to identify dependencies, performance requirements, and security considerations.
Cloud Migration Plan: A detailed migration plan was developed, taking into account the specific needs of each application and workload. The plan outlined the steps for moving data, applications, and services to the AWS Cloud in a phased and controlled manner.
Custom Cloud-Native Solution: We utilized open-source technologies and custom-built solutions to design a cloud-native architecture tailored to their requirements. This solution ensured scalability, high availability, and improved cost efficiency.
Data Migration and Synchronization: We implemented robust data migration strategies, including synchronization of data from multiple sources and user repositories, ensuring data integrity and continuity during the migration process.
