Case Study: a leading Swiss insurer achieves zero-disruption AWS migration with Nordcloud

Leading Swiss Insurer achieves zero-disruption AWS migration with Nordcloud and 80% storage optimisation

Nordcloud assisted a leading Swiss insurer in migrating over 500 TB of critical file services from an on-premises NetApp estate to AWS. The challenge was to achieve this complex move with zero business disruption, while meeting strict compliance requirements and reducing high maintenance costs.

The solution involved migrating the data to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP using SnapMirror technology. Nordcloud executed a seamless, wave-based migration and modernized the audit process by leveraging native FSx capabilities. Key results included an 80% storage optimisation, a 30% reduction in storage costs, over 80% lower auditing costs, and the full 500+ TB migration completed with zero disruption to users.
