Enterprise File Server and Print Server Migration to Azure
Sector: Consumer Goods / Manufacturing | Scale: Global | Cloud: Azure
The Operational Challenge
Migrate a massive infrastructure of file servers, print servers, and legacy file systems to Azure, overcoming bandwidth limitations, complex legacy permissions, and capacity constraints, without interrupting corporate operations.
Architectural Solution (Ficentia Approach)
Storage Migration: Architecture and execution of massive file server migrations to Azure leveraging NetApp Files and Azure File Share, with strategies optimized for bandwidth and capacity.
Permissions & Compliance: Design of migration strategies that preserve complex legacy permissions (NTFS/ACL), ensuring access continuity and traceability.
Enterprise Landing Zone: Provisioning of scalable Landing Zones to host the migrated workloads (including SAP environments, print servers, and file systems) under corporate governance standards.
Business Impact
Consolidation of file and print infrastructure in the cloud with zero service interruption, a solid foundation (Landing Zones) for mission-critical workloads, and reduced technical debt from on-premises infrastructure.
