Case Study: a mid-sized industrial components manufacturing company cuts provisioning time by 50% with Simform's Azure Linux server migration

Mid-sized Industrial Components Manufacturing Company cuts environment provisioning time by 50% with Simform

A mid-sized industrial components manufacturing company faced challenges with its on-premises Linux infrastructure, which was causing capacity constraints, downtime risks, and slow provisioning for new plants. They partnered with Simform to migrate these critical application servers supporting production planning and shop-floor reporting to Microsoft Azure.

Simform rehosted the company's Linux servers to Azure Virtual Machines using a lift-and-shift approach, completing the migration in phased waves without disrupting manufacturing shifts. The solution, which leveraged Azure Migrate for assessment, resulted in a 50% faster environment provisioning time, stabilized 12 production workloads, and enabled cutovers to be completed in under four hours.
