Real Results, Real Impact

Legacy Infrastructure: The existing hosting was becoming outdated, potentially impacting performance, scalability, and the ability to innovate rapidly.

Cost Inefficiencies: Managing physical data centers or third-party hosting can lead to higher operational costs compared to cloud solutions.

Limited Agility: Traditional infrastructure often lacks the flexibility and rapid provisioning capabilities of cloud platforms.

Modernization Imperative: A clear need to transition to more modern, cloud-native services to improve efficiency and service delivery.

Phase 1: Azure Migration (Lift and Shift): Successfully migrated their existing servers from the third-party data centers to Microsoft Azure. Established Azure US East as the primary region and Azure West US for robust disaster recovery, ensuring business continuity.

Phase 2: Application Modernization: Modernized their applications by transitioning them to Azure App Service for web hosting and Azure SQL Database for their database needs. Implemented Azure Application Gateway to optimize traffic management, enhance security, and improve load balancing.

Phase 3: AI Infusion and Multi-Tenancy: Leveraged Microsoft Copilot and AI services to infuse intelligence into their applications, unlocking new capabilities and insights. Developed multi-tenant application architectures to efficiently and securely serve major Fortune 100 clients, including Deutsche Bank, Nomura Securities, and Citibank.

Reduced Hosting Costs: Transitioning to Azure PaaS services like App Service and SQL Azure significantly lowered infrastructure and operational expenses.

Improved Latency and Performance: Azure's global infrastructure and optimized services led to better application responsiveness and user experience.

Enhanced Scalability and Agility: The Azure platform provided the ability to scale resources on demand and deploy new features more rapidly.

Strengthened Security: Utilized Azure's advanced security features and services like Application Gateway to protect sensitive financial data.

Future-Ready Platform: Infusion of AI and development of a multi-tenant architecture positioned the client for continued growth and innovation, enabling them to better serve their high-profile enterprise customers.

Global Reach: Support a diverse audience with varying needs and preferences.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensure full GDPR compliance to protect customer data.

High Availability: Provide a seamless, always-on experience worldwide.

Time Constraints: Deliver the project within a tight deadline.

Custom Design & Development: Tailored the platform to meet the global audience's specific needs.

GDPR Compliance: Implemented robust data protection measures.

High Availability Architecture: Leveraged Azure, SQL AlwaysOn, MongoDB, and Azure Front Door for scalability and reliability—making us the second partner to implement SQL AlwaysOn across EU and US data centers.

Azure Governance: Aligned with Cloud Adoption Frameworks for efficient resource management and compliance.

DevOps Methodology: Utilized Infrastructure as Code for repeatable, error‑free deployments.

Efficient Project Management: Employed agile methodologies to deliver on time.

Enhanced Customer Experience: Delivered a seamless, engaging platform for global users.

Regulatory Compliance: Achieved full GDPR compliance for robust data protection.

Reliable Performance: Ensured high availability with minimal downtime.

Long-Term Partnership: Maintained ongoing support and continuous improvement over a decade.

Compliance Gaps: The existing tape-based solution did not satisfy stringent regulatory compliance mandates for data recovery and business continuity.

Unacceptable RTO/RPO: Tape backups resulted in RTO and RPO measured in days, posing a significant risk to operations in the event of a disaster.

Lack of Real-time Protection: The large VMware estate was vulnerable due to the absence of continuous data replication and rapid failover capabilities.

Operational Inefficiencies: Manual tape management was cumbersome and not scalable for their needs.

Azure Site Recovery (ASR): Deployed ASR to enable replication of the on-premise VMware virtual machines to Azure, providing automated failover capabilities.

Azure Backup Server (MABS): Implemented Azure Backup Server to facilitate efficient and secure backup of on-premise workloads to Azure, offering flexible recovery options.

Optimized RTO/RPO: The solution was architected to significantly reduce RTO and RPO from days down to minutes.

Ongoing Managed Services: Seepath provides ongoing management and monitoring of the DR environment to ensure its readiness and effectiveness.

Dramatically Improved RTO/RPO: Achieved RTO/RPO objectives in minutes, significantly enhancing business resilience and minimizing potential downtime.

Compliance Adherence: The new solution successfully met all regulatory compliance requirements for disaster recovery and data protection.

Enhanced Data Security: Robust replication and backup to Azure ensured critical data was protected and readily recoverable.

Increased Operational Efficiency: Automation of DR processes reduced manual effort and improved overall DR posture.

Continued Reliability: The solution is currently managed by Seepath, ensuring ongoing optimal performance and support.
