Benefits of AWS Migration

Scale

Consumes 40% of US internet bandwidth at peak hours

Security

Believes they can be more secure on AWS

than in any private data center

Cost-Effectiveness

Has reduced total cost of IT ownership

by 52%

High-Performance

Has reduced latency by more

than 90%

What are customers achieving with the AWS platform?

Barriers to Cloud adoption

Existing Investments Skeptical Stakeholders Upfront Costs

Application Interdependencies Fear of downtime during migration Lack of Cloud Expertise

What problems exist in my environment? How should I migrate to cloud? What’s low hanging fruit for optimization? What should I consider for disaster

recovery? What is the business case for change? What devices exist in my environment?

What applications do I have? How are my applications integrated? What is my resource utilization? What is my most important application? Where are devices and applications

located? What are my bandwidth requirements?

CloudScape migration story: Public or private cloud

Foundational

Use Case Specific

I am interested in cloud but I don’t know what/how to execute

I need to understand what I have

I need to organize this information by application

Then I want to monitor and track the changes of that application in the cloud

Then I want to migrate my application to that environment

Then I want an easy way to set up that cloud environment

Then I want to classify my applications to see what is easy/hard to move and why

Then I want to look at pricing & other factors around cloud providers to choose my destination

Case Study: Turner BroadcastingDon Browning, VP of Cloud Architecture, Turner Broadcasting

Global media company, a division of Time Warner Owns and operates various television networks

including CNN, TBS, HLN, TNT, TruTV, and Bleacher Report

Founded in 1970 and eventually merged with Time Warner to operate as a semi-independent division

About Turner Broadcasting System

In the process of transforming their business to support digital distribution and consumption of content

The challenge

Was looking to focus on their core business transformation instead of maintaining their on-premises infrastructure

Needed to break organizational barriers that existed in their on-premises environment

“Turner decided it didn’t need to be in the datacenter business in order to be successful” – Don Browning VP of Cloud Architecture for Turner Broadcasting System

The challenge

Looking for a flexible and scalable environment that would grow along with their business

Why Turner chose AWS

Wanted to learn from other organizations that had completed similar migrations to AWS

Did not feel other cloud providers had the breadth and scale that AWS had to offer

AWS would allow Turner to gain business agility while reducing the man hours and costs to run their on-premises data centers

Turner tried to formulate a migration plan but did not know enough about their existing infrastructure to do so

RISC was recommended after Turner raised concerns to AWS about not fully understanding their IT environment

Turner realized RISC was critical in creating an actionable plan for the AWS migration and realized the benefits immediately

Why Turner chose RISC Networks

The process

RISC conducted a complete scan of Turner’s IT environment The scan allowed Turner to validate the dependencies

between applications Turner created two buckets of resources to migrate: cloud

ready and not cloud ready Turner conducted a pilot-mode migration for the cloud ready

applications After a successful pilot migration, Turner received the green

light to begin the migration process in July 2016

Able to construct an effective migration plan complete with list of applications and their dependencies

Benefits of RISC Networks

Discovered almost 1,000 servers they were running that were not being used and shut them down immediately (some within 10 minutes of the scan)

Able to analyze their sub-divisions and breakdown the entire migration process into smaller parts
