About the customer
Industry:Manufacturing, Public Sector
Challenge
The manufacturer’s nationwide supply chain relied on a legacy on-premises environment that could no longer scale with its growing operations. This aging infrastructure created a bottleneck, as rigid hardware limits and maintenance delays directly threatened the supply chain and timely distribution
Maintaining legacy infrastructure was increasingly difficult and costly, presenting several challenges:
Inflexible infrastructure
Limited scalability during peak operational periods hindered growth
High operational expenses
Heavy costs associated with hardware refreshes, maintenance and data protection
Backup inconsistency
A lack of centralized backup management led to varied, assorted protection policies across different business units
Staffing constraints
A shortage of dedicated IT personnel meant inability to meet 24/7 infrastructure demands
Supply chain risk
Potential downtime posed a direct threat to production, distribution and nationwide operations
Solution
To eliminate scalability bottlenecks and centralize its data protection, the customer decided to move from on-prem to Google Cloud. To support their cloud adoption journey, Cloud Kinetics implemented a modernization plan centred on Google cloud migration and scalable managed services.
Cloud Kinetics used specialized migration tools and frameworks to ensure a structured transition to the cloud.
- Google Cloud Compute Engine: Replaced legacy compute workloads to improve system reliability
- Google Cloud Backup & DR Managed Service: Centralized data protection with a single, unified platform
