Business Challenge
An urgent need for a multicloud migration with a strict timeline
GE Healthcare was going through a divestiture from its parent company and thus had an urgent need to set up its own, completely new IT infrastructure. To achieve this, the migration of approximately 8,000 workloads from the parent company’s legacy infrastructure had to happen at an accelerated pace. On top of that, the company sought to develop a forward-looking model for managing cloud and infrastructure operations.
To avoid penalties, the business required migration to both the AWS and Azure cloud within a strict Transition Service Agreement (TSA) timeline.
Solution Approach
Using Concierto to assess, strategize, and execute a multicloud migration
GE Healthcare reviewed its options and selected Concierto, the automated cloud platform with cloud migration, management, and optimization features. The company used Concierto MIGRATE to perform extensive planning and discovery, which included move groups, wave plans, target state design, and target landing zone deployment. The software also developed detailed application discovery and assessment reports, including metrics for resource utilization, application dependencies, and performance metrics.
The company also used Concierto to monitor the performance of servers and virtual machines to determine the precise amount of cloud resources needed, allowing for the right infrastructure sizing and migration strategy recommendations.
Concierto’s detailed workload analysis and migration recommendations, which included an R-analysis, (replacement, rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, rearchitecting, rebuilding, or repurchasing), recommended rehosting and replatforming for GE Healthcare’s resources. The company followed that recommendation and used Concierto to migrate its workloads from its parent company’s legacy, on-premises environments to the AWS and Azure cloud.
Results
Gaining a modern multicloud infrastructure while reducing total cost by 15%
GE Healthcare used Concierto to migrate over 8,000 workloads to the AWS and Azure clouds 50% faster than anticipation and with a 39% reduction in cost.
The automated server provisioning with pre-installed software, provided by Concierto reduced new client onboarding time by approximately 71%.
Overall, GE Healthcare achieved a 15% reduction in total cost of ownership by optimizing its cloud architecture and operations.
“Concierto MIGRATE positively changed the migration process across our global IT and organizational environment with its high levels of automation, ultimately simplifying our team's involvement, accelerating our migrations, and providing predictability”
