Case Study: International specialty insurer assesses 500+ servers in 3 weeks with CloudHedge CHAI DART

International Specialty Insurance Firm assesses 500+ servers in 3 weeks with CloudHedge

An international specialty insurance firm faced a significant challenge in its cloud migration program. With an application portfolio spread across more than 500 Windows and Linux servers, the firm could not proceed until it understood the dependencies and topology of its entire estate. Conventional methods of manual surveys and interviews were untenable due to the scale and the need for accurate blast radius mapping. CloudHedge was engaged to address this using its CHAI DART product.

CloudHedge's CHAI DART solution automated the discovery and assessment process, mapping dependencies and topology across the entire server fleet without manual intervention. This provided the firm with a clear 6R disposition and priority for each application. The results were achieved in just three weeks, a process that identified and removed over 2,000 person-hours of manual work from the critical path and delivered reproducible, data-driven findings for the migration program.
