As an Advanced Tier AWS Consulting Partner, zeb is excited to present our Database Modernization Workshop on the AWS Marketplace. This workshop offers an opportunity to assess your existing data platforms and transition them to cloud-based application databases. Included is an efficient data migration and synchronization framework, facilitating the availability of both legacy and modern systems. Streamline business operations efficiently with a phased approach to cutover.

Our workshop is designed to revolutionize your data architecture by embracing both SQL and NoSQL databases on the AWS platform. We begin by assessing the client's existing data platform, offering strategic recommendations derived from the assessment. Subsequently, we present a future state architecture alongside a roadmap for implementation. Our team of AWS-certified Data Architects will guide you in constructing SQL and NoSQL data models, along with bolstering your data governance capabilities.

Key Features

Adopt SQL and NoSQL: Leverage AWS services, including RDS and DynamoDB, to optimize data architecture by strategically adopting SQL and NoSQL databases tailored to unique access patterns. Initiate the process with a comprehensive data usage analysis, providing expert recommendations, and implement optimal database solutions on the AWS platform.

AI-adopted DB development and migration framework: Efficiently streamline the development process of databases with an AI-driven framework and seamlessly migrate by leveraging AWS DMS, implementing intelligent automation to enhance efficiency and minimize downtime.

Offline Data Transfer: Our expertise lies in facilitating offline data transfer, enabling seamless movement of petabytes of data without relying on internet bandwidth. Leveraging AWS Snowball, customers can securely transfer large volumes of data into and out of the AWS Cloud.

Data Security & Governance: We provide robust data governance solutions to facilitate the effective management and control of data stored and processed in the cloud. This includes implementing policies and procedures for data access control, encryption, monitoring, and compliance.

Automated DB Deployments: Automate your database deployments with Data Ops, ensuring error-free and reliable database deployments.

Deliverables

Database Assessment: Collaborative sessions with our Data Solutions Architects. The workshop includes up to 8 hours of sessions between zeb and your technical teams.

Future-state Architecture Dagram: A future-state architecture diagram outlines the planned technological framework and components (AWS) envisioned for implementation.

Estimating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Utilize our pre-configured AWS Pricing Calculator for precise projection of operational expenses linked with the proposed solution on AWS.

Recommendations Report: A summary of our exploration sessions, rationales behind architectural choices, and a detailed description of the future-state solution with suggested next steps. The report may contain any of the following that are applicable to your business:

• Data dictionary and Data Modeling: An Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram visually represents the entities, attributes, and relationships in a database schema.
• Data Governance Policies: Guidelines and protocols governing data management, encompassing access control to the data warehouse and measures to uphold data security within the warehouse and reporting processes.
• Deployment Documentation: Comprehensive guide detailing the procedures and steps involved in deploying resources and applications on the AWS platform, including setup, configuration, and optimization instructions.

Proposal for Implementation Services: A proposal detailing the cost for zeb’s Professional Services teams to assist in the modernization effort.

Timeline

The Database Modernization Workshop is expected to last around 2 weeks, subject to the availability of your project sponsors and technical teams.

Next Steps

Our typical next steps involve showcasing our previously implemented solutions, submitting a proposal for implementation services, including future-state architecture recommendations, technical design and implementation, testing, and production cut-over.
