Benefit from our many years of experience with customers of all sizes from various industries. We accompany you through the migration project to AWS with a standardized process plan and tools developed by Atlassian, which supports you organizationally and technically in all phases.

Process

Phase 1: Assess and Justify

We want to get to know your needs and find out whether the Atlassian products hosted on AWS cloud is the right decision for you. We review your current instances and products together and discuss your ideas for a future solution with you. We evaluate various options for the different AWS services (RDS Databases, Fileshares, Server types) and compare them to your existing setup and your specific requirements. In addition to the goals, we also define the time and financial framework. Especially with instances that have grown over the years, we show you ways and possibilities to merge or clean them up before a migration. Furthermore, we support you in collecting your stakeholders accordingly in order to guarantee the appropriate support from your management for a successful implementation.

Phase 2: Plan and Prepare

We prepare the whole infrastructure and resources in AWS and we make your current environment ready for a migration to the AWS cloud. Server upgrades are carried out, instances are merged, content is cleaned up and, if necessary, we also give inpus to optimize internal processes. We create a cloud migration trail for you and prepare an initial test migration. You have the option to migrate complete instances, or to move individual projects and areas step by step to the AWS cloud. Of course, parallel licenses are not necessary. Test phases for the migration to AWS are extended for the remaining duration of the current server or data center license (up to 12 months).

Phase 3: Testrun and Cloud QA

Together we will create a migration plan. Security aspects and data protection guidelines are carefully examined, documented and checked to see whether these are given in an AWS cloud solution. We make your current environment ready for a migration. Server upgrades are carried out, instances are merged, content is cleaned up and, if necessary, we also give inputs to optimize internal processes. We create a cloud trail for you and carry out an initial test migration. Using defined test cases, we check the pilot migration in detail.

Phase 4: Live Migration Support and Final QA

The changeover to the AWS cloud itself can, as already mentioned, be carried out in a "Big Bang", or it can be done step by step. We support you in both variants with a precise schedule (cookbook) to ensure a secure handover to your company and to bring your users to the new platform. After transferring the data to the production setup in AWS, we conduct smoke tests together and accept the product with your key stakeholders.
