The Challenge
NXTsoft needed assistance to consolidate multiple business units’ datacenters into AWS for simplicity and ease of management. NXTsoft was looking for an environment with ‘bolt-on’ capabilities as it grows and acquires new companies in the future. All environments had to be compliant with SOC2, ISO27001, and NIST 800-171 framework. Each business unit had unique requirements and needed to leverage a central directory to provide access to resources within AWS accounts. NXTsoft needed a rapid migration to AWS to replace end-of-life hardware and meet business goals.
The Solution
EPI-USE Services for AWS facilitated the rapid migration of three business units’ Windows workloads to AWS from their on-premises data centers and existing AWS accounts. The new AWS accounts provided a central location and management platform for NXTsoft’s developer teams to leverage and deploy new AWS workloads consistently. It also allowed NXTsoft to remove aging equipment from its data centers and provide governing guardrails for each business unit in their AWS account by leveraging AWS organizations. The new AWS accounts are security compliant with additional logging and monitoring enabled. Windows onEC2, VPC, AWS Backup, GuardDuty, and Transit gateway were among the AWS services deployed.
