Overview: A leading human capital management services
provider delivering a comprehensive SaaSbased HR suite, including Payroll, Employee SelfService, Benefits Administration, and Time &
Attendance. They needed a secure, redundant,
and highly available infrastructure to support
their operations.
Objective: The client aimed to seamlessly migrate their HR suite of applications, including 83+ servers and 35TB of data, to a
secure and redundant private cloud infrastructure. The objective was to ensure high availability, strengthen
cybersecurity, and achieve economies of scale by combining data center migration with core application upgrades in
a single window.
Business Challenges
The client faced critical infrastructure limitations that hindered their ability to deliver reliable SaaS services to end
clients. Key challenges included:
Lack of Redundancy: Existing infrastructure lacked redundancy, risking service disruptions
Scattered Data Centers: Inefficient operations due to fragmented data center environments
Security Vulnerabilities: Inadequate cybersecurity measures, exposing sensitive HR data
Complex Upgrade Process: Required simultaneous migration and application upgrade, increasing operational risk
The Solution
The client partnered with Digitide for a full-scale infrastructure migration and managed services solution. The project
involved seamlessly migrating 83+ servers and 35TB of data from their existing data center to Digitide s private cloud.
Both production and non-production environments were built on a dedicated storage array. The solution also included
end-to-end managed services covering network, infrastructure, and cybersecurity operations (IAM, EDR, VAPT, SIEM,
SOC). Additionally, the application and underlying databases were upgraded during the same migration window,
ensuring operational continuity.
