Faster Disaster Recovery

Challenge

The client was operating a complex SAP HANA environment on aging on-premises infrastructure that was expensive to maintain and difficult to scale. They faced challenges with:

  • High operational costs of legacy hardware
  • Limited scalability to handle growing transaction volumes
  • Complex disaster recovery procedures with lengthy RTO/RPO
  • Lack of environment standardization across regions

Solution

I designed and implemented a comprehensive migration strategy that included:

  • AWS Transit Gateway architecture for secure connectivity
  • Multi-AZ deployment for high availability
  • Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for standardized environments
  • Custom automated backup and recovery solutions
  • Zero-downtime migration approach using AWS Database Migration Service

Results

The migration was completed ahead of schedule with zero business disruption, resulting in:

  • 40% reduction in infrastructure costs through right-sizing and reserved instances
  • Improved system performance with 35% faster transaction processing
  • Enhanced disaster recovery with cross-region replication
  • Standardized environments across all regions, reducing operational complexity
  • Automated scaling capabilities to handle peak workloads without manual intervention
