Achieved 40% operational cost reduction through AWS cloud migration support

Challenge

Manufacturing Company A was struggling with aging on-premises servers that had been in use for over 20 years.

  • Rising hardware maintenance costs
  • Long recovery times during system failures
  • Insufficient disaster recovery (DR) measures
  • High operational burden due to IT talent shortage

Solution

KIX Consulting proposed a phased cloud migration based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Migration Approach

  1. Current State Analysis and Assessment

    • Inventory of existing systems and dependency mapping
    • Prioritization of cloud migration

  2. Pilot Migration

    • Phased migration starting with non-critical systems
    • Establishment of migration procedures and knowledge accumulation

  3. Production Migration

    • Migration of core systems
    • Data migration and cutover

  4. Optimization

    • Cost optimization (utilizing Reserved Instances and Savings Plans)
    • Operation automation (CloudWatch, Systems Manager)

Technologies Adopted

  • Computing: Amazon EC2 (with Auto Scaling)
  • Database: Amazon RDS (Multi-AZ configuration)
  • Storage: Amazon S3 (with lifecycle management)
  • Network: Amazon VPC, AWS Direct Connect
  • Monitoring: Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Systems Manager

Results
