Review: Migration to Google Cloud Platform Case Study

Case Study: Panthos Labs' Strategic Migration to Google Cloud Platform - ACL Group

Introduction: Panthos Labs embarked on a transformative journey with ACL Group, migrating their internal applications to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to address challenges associated with local data center hosting. The key objectives were to reduce costs, enhance redundancy, and bolster security.

The Challenge: ACL Group faced significant challenges with their existing local data center hosting. The expenses were high, and the infrastructure lacked the necessary redundancy, posing potential risks to business continuity.

We engaged the services of Panthos to migrate some of our services to Google Cloud Platform and also to create our new data warehouse. Panthos Cloud Consulting is now helping to visualise this data with Power BI, and they have already delivered many meaningful interactive reports. These new insights have inspired new processes that have improved customer experience and repeat business.

The Solution: Panthos Labs orchestrated a comprehensive solution leveraging Google Cloud Platform. They migrated internal web applications to Compute Engine, ensuring automatic availability and redundancy. Additionally, customer-facing websites were seamlessly transitioned to Compute Engine, utilising content management system apps from the marketplace for enhanced efficiency.

Results Achieved: The migration to Google Cloud Platform yielded substantial benefits for ACL Group. Internal sites now operate securely on Compute Engine, fortified by secure access points facilitated through Cloud Virtual Private Network. Automatic backups were strategically set up, ensuring data integrity and resilience. As a result, ACL Group experienced significant cost savings while enjoying improved redundancy and heightened security measures.

Conclusion: Panthos Labs’ strategic migration to Google Cloud Platform exemplifies the transformative power of cloud solutions in addressing complex hosting challenges. By embracing GCP’s robust infrastructure and implementing secure access protocols, ACL Group achieved heightened efficiency, security, and cost-effectiveness in their operations.
