Our Contribution

The AFL engaged Xello as a preferred Microsoft Azure Gold partner that has the methodologies and expertise to understand their existing environment, then leverage Azure native tools to lift and shift the current application to Azure, ensuring this is hosted into the AFL Azure subscription. This aligned to the broader Migration program and also utilised the existing setup of a 200MB express route link to Microsoft.

Aligning to internal IP and best practice, Xello were able to;

• Perform discovery of the system, to capture all information allowing for a cost effective and risk free migration.
• Analysis of the discovery data, ensuring all access, networking, security requirements are detailed and planned for.
• Perform a TCO analysis, which will outline the target services, costs in Azure, the optimisation opportunities (rightsizing, snoozing requirements).
• A Landing Zone configuration for the services, allowing co-existence with the AD environment in the AFL Azure tenant, and all design decisions.
• Deployment of co-existence services, networking, security, monitoring, backup & automation.
• Lift and Shift, and migrate 3 application workloads into the target Azure environment.
• Build of a new server, allowing for 3^rd party vendors to configure the click and collect server.
• Perform UAT testing of the solution.
