Top Indian Engineering College Transforms IT Services with a Successful Cloud Migration to Microsoft Azure
About The Client
Located in Delhi, it has consistently advanced towards excellence in engineering education, research, and development. The institution aims to deliver cutting-edge educational experiences and has been committed to enhancing its IT infrastructure to support teaching, learning, and research.
Challenge
The institution sought to migrate its systems and services to Microsoft Azure quickly, efficiently, and securely. The primary objectives included reducing reliance on physical data centers, strengthening cybersecurity, and enhancing the resilience of its IT hosting model. A significant portion of the existing infrastructure was nearing the end of its lifecycle, necessitating a transition to a modern cloud platform that could provide flexibility and security while supporting the institution’s digital strategy.
Key Issues:
Outdated Infrastructure: The existing systems were aging and needed modernization.
Cybersecurity Risks: Increasing cyber threats required a more robust security posture.
Operational Efficiency: The need for a streamlined and efficient IT hosting model was critical.
Solution
To tackle these challenges, the institution partnered with Veritick to execute a comprehensive cloud migration program aimed at modernizing its IT infrastructure. This collaboration began with a thorough assessment of the existing systems, allowing Veritick to develop a tailored migration strategy. The focus was on creating a hybrid cloud environment that would not only enhance operational efficiency but also bolster cybersecurity measures in response to increasing threats. Veritick’s expertise in cloud migration ensured that the process was smooth and minimally disruptive to ongoing academic activities. By leveraging Azure’s capabilities, the institution aimed to improve its overall service delivery while laying the groundwork for innovative teaching and research methodologies.
Key Aspects of the Solution
Hybrid Cloud Environment: A hybrid Azure cloud environment was established, utilizing native Azure capabilities such as Azure Firewall, Backup, Bastion, Defender for Cloud, and Azure Sentinel Threat Monitoring.
Managed Classroom Proof of Concept: CoreAzure initiated a virtual managed classroom proof of concept using Azure Lab Services, allowing ethical hacking students to spin up virtual machines (VMs) on demand in a controlled environment.
Agile Migration Approach: The migration involved close collaboration among the IT Team, application owners, and business leaders. Strategies primarily revolved around Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), with an active exploration of Platform as a Service (PaaS) opportunities for modernization.
Successful Migration of Services: A total of 212 VMware virtual servers and approximately 180 applications and services were migrated to Azure within a 12-month period, adhering to the budget outlined in the business case.
Training and Support: The in-house IT team received training and assumed operational support responsibilities post-migration, ensuring a smooth transition and ongoing management of the new cloud environment.
