Moving Off Aging On-Premise Servers

A mid-market retailer's inventory and POS systems ran on aging on-premise servers with no automated backups or monitoring.

This is an illustrative engagement scenario describing the type of work Alpho does, not a case study of a named client.

Challenge

Unplanned downtime during a hardware failure had previously taken systems offline for a full business day, with no automated disaster recovery in place.

Solution

We migrated the retailer's systems to containerized deployments on AWS, added CI/CD pipelines for safer releases, and set up 24/7 monitoring with automated backups and a documented disaster recovery plan.

Outcome

Deployments that used to require a maintenance window now ship with zero downtime, and the business has a tested recovery plan instead of an unverified backup tape.
