Case Study: UK-Based ICT Provider achieves streamlined consolidation and migration of 16 data centers with minimal downtime with Happiest Minds

UK Based ICT Providing Company - Customer Case Study

Happiest Minds’ Cloud, DC Advisory & Transformation practice helped global clients across media, retail, e‑commerce and ICT tackle complex infrastructure and compliance challenges: from automating multilingual third‑party risk assessments and modernizing GRC, to migrating large data centers and revamping legacy data center architectures for high availability, scalability and security. Clients required real‑time data pipelines (supporting 100k messages and ~9M users), standardization across mixed hypervisor environments, minimal business disruption during migration, and stronger DR/continuity and monitoring.

The team delivered end‑to‑end solutions—automated discovery and dependency mapping, standardized core infrastructure, cloud migration frameworks for AWS and Azure, SDDC and DR re‑engineering, DevOps and configuration management (Puppet), and GRC automation (RSA Archer/ELLIPSE). Outcomes included automated cluster launches and real‑time analytics, faster go‑to‑market, standardized environments that enabled a factory model to migrate 16 data centers, improved DC uptime to 99.99%, enhanced security and scalability, and cost savings up to 30% with minimal customer impact.
