See how EPS Cloud helps a global engineering company accelerate migration to a scalable cloud infrastructure.
Case Study – Global Engineering Company
Overview
A global engineering firm needed to deliver compute-intensive modeling applications to employees worldwide, around the clock, with superior performance and availability. Their existing infrastructure consisted of separate high-performance computing (HPC) islands that were often underutilized and unable to scale. This resulted in single engineering model taking as long as a day to complete. The company decided to migrate to a cloud infrastructure to remedy these issues. The move would reduce run times to as little as an hour, as well as enable the company to support future initiatives for Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, drone mapping, Big Data and application modernization.
Business Challenge
The firm was under a deadline to migrate to the cloud as the lease on the company’s data center was soon due to expire. The good news was the IT team knew exactly what they wanted. They chose Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) as their preferred cloud vendors, and wanted to incorporate Equinix Cloud Exchange™ and Performance Hub™ solutions they were already using. Unfortunately, the company didn’t have the capacity or knowledge for a successful cloud migration, especially in the short time required. Therefore, they wanted a consulting partner who could both help them accomplish their immediate goals and work with the firm long term.
