JCG Technologies – On Premise to AWS Cloud Migration

Overview

JCG Technologies, Inc (JCG) designs, deploys, and supports integrated digital media solutions for courts, councils, commissions, agencies, boards and other legislative and legal bodies that want to automate their workflow, produce a record of their proceedings/meetings, and improve access to information. JCG’s products and services are designed to save its clients time and money. The traditionally constructed ‘on-premises’ infrastructure was not designed to handle major spikes during pandemic and critical times. Aware of the need for a more substantial environment, JCG Technologies searched for a partner that could facilitate the migration of their entire customer-facing infrastructure to Amazon Web Services, in less than a month.

Solution

JCG Technologies chose WAL to migrate and set up their infrastructure on AWS Cloud in accordance with AWS best practices. AWS Cloud was chosen after reviewing the different services used by the customer.

CONNECTIVITY

For better network connectivity and performance, WAL deployed the AWS Direct Connect partnered with Sify.

PERFORMANCE

Database(MS-SQL) was implemented on EC2, as JCG Technologies required native features, such as reporting. This solution addressed the high latency performance issue while generating reports from the MS-SQL on-prem servers.

SERVICES USED

・EC2
・Direct Connect
・S3
・EBS

 

BACKUP

Automatic backup scheduler was implemented to faster point to point data recovery in the event of failure.

Business outcome achieved

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

JCG benefited from the economies of scale and efficiencies provided by AWS but paid only for the compute, storage and other resources as per use.

Scalability

Ability to quickly scale compute capability up and down, according to the constantly increasing loads in line with the pace of business growth.

Performance

Faster deployments | Faster reporting | Faster recovery in the event of failure.
