Manufacturer Assures Successful Migration of Key Applications to AWS Cloud

The manufacturer was in the process of migrating some critical business services to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and implementing a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) hosting environment in the primary data center. They needed to ensure a consistent highest quality end-to-end visibility in the hybrid cloud. Critically important to their day-to-day operations were key business services, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), SAP, sales operations, inventory management, and customer relationship management (CRM) applications. If any of these applications experience slowdowns or disruptions before, during or after the migration process, the impact on revenue, production, and customer service can become significant. The world was in its earliest stages of dealing with the possibility of dramatically increased remote workers/work-at-home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This added to both the importance and urgency of adding visibility for performance analysis for the ISP hosting environment, given the possibility of having tens of thousands of employees working from home around the world.

This worldwide equipment manufacturer, based in the U.S., builds agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment in more than 100 facilities spread across 30 countries. More than 60,000 employees deliver product design, development, production, and sales services, helping the business achieve annual revenues topping tens of billions of dollars. This takes coordination, communications, and collaboration on a global scale. They have come to depend heavily on the efficient, continuous operation of their networked application resources throughout regionally distributed data centers. To ensure quality operation of these applications, they have partnered with NETSCOUT® for nGeniusONE service assurance solutions to ensure high-quality application performance and end-user experience.
