Overview
Vodafone Ireland partnered with SevTech to migrate over 50 critical applications to Microsoft Azure, ensuring improved scalability, performance, and cost efficiency.
​
The migration was driven by the end-of-life status of its data center infrastructure, requiring a secure and future-proof cloud solution. SevTech’s expertise enabled Vodafone to transition seamlessly while ensuring minimal disruption to business operations and preserving existing application functionalities.
Challenge
Vodafone Ireland needed to modernise its IT infrastructure by migrating mission-critical applications to the cloud. The key challenge was to execute the migration with minimal downtime while ensuring business continuity and regulatory compliance.
​
Vodafone also required an approach that minimised changes to existing applications, optimised cloud costs, and improved system performance, making it crucial to work with a trusted partner who could deliver a risk-free cloud transformation.
Solution
SevTech implemented a structured, phased migration using Azure Migrate, Site Recovery, VPN, and ExpressRoute to ensure a secure and efficient transition.
​​
A lift-and-shift approach minimized application changes, while Azure Monitor and Cost Management tools optimised performance and IT infrastructure expenses. The hybrid connectivity strategy allowed Vodafone to maintain seamless operations while gradually decommissioning its legacy data center without impacting customer services or internal workflows.
