Challenges

The technology conglomerate wanted to adopt a standardized approach to cloud migration on AWS. They wanted a partner who could help them identify the right workloads, the right migration methodologies and propose a resilient governance model to run effectively on a cloud set up. They also wanted to address the following requirements;

Under-utilized capacity in Vertica – An analytics platform that led to disproportionately high cost of operations
Disparate reporting environment leading to high licensing costs
Lack of scalability in the existing architecture
70-80% data source for Vertica is hosted on AWS
Need for optimization of design and performance improvement on Vertica

Solution

The client wanted a cloud environment to improve speed of production and reduce maintenance costs. Wipro did a full analysis of their current landscape and provided the following solution;

Build on-premise tools to connect with cloud through AWS Direct Connect service
JDBC/ODBC for connecting to SQL client and reporting tools
Recreate the existing SQL (ETL) scripts to generate flat files to be pushed to S3
Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) workflow used for scheduling ETL jobs
35 dashboards spread between Qlikview & Spotfire, and approx. 70 SQL queries considered for migration
40 to 50 fact tables and 50 to 75 dimension tables refreshed by ETL jobs
Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce) – A tool for big data processing and analysis, was used for transforming and parsing

Business impact

Wipro helped the client to minimize cost of operations by moving on-premise Vertica Database to AWS and cost of managing licenses for reporting environment, reduced significantly.

A standardized approach to AWS cloud migration enabled 35% reduction in IT spend and 25% reduction in cost of reporting licenses
25% reduction in current spend on reporting licenses.

“Wipro provided a scalable architecture on Cloud leveraging AWS Direct Connect Service, which helped the client to consolidate its reporting environment and achieve significant performance improvement. Automation, optimization, cost reduction and speed to production was their key asks, and our solutions coupled with our ‘business first’ approach helped them embark on their cloud migration journey with minimum disruptions to business.”
