For the Minsait team, helping customers migrate to the cloud is a key component in their digital transformation initiatives. For a tier-one telecoms company, this meant a move to Google Cloud. The customer had a MongoDB deployment in their data center, and the team at Minsait had to consider how to migrate this implementation into the cloud as well.
For Minsait, the key goals of this project were to manage costs and maintain control over the deployment. For the Product Director on the project, getting the right advice was essential.
The Product Director on the project and his team turned to Percona for independent advice around how to achieve migrating to the cloud with their customer, and what the options were for the implementation. Percona offered a solution that included building a MongoDB infrastructure in the cloud using Percona Operator for MongoDB, migrating them to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), training on how to manage it, and providing support. Percona ExpertOps team uses PMM to monitor, manage and optimize their database instances, and can manage this as well.
Minsait and Percona provided a software and services solution enabling Minsait to run MongoDB in the cloud. The solution included Percona ExpertOps, Percona Expert Support with Percona Server for MongoDB, and the Percona Operator for MongoDB as an alternative.
Percona Operator for MongoDB is an open source software extension that automates the entire lifecycle of cloud-native MongoDB database operations on Kubernetes. Deploying MongoDB on Kubernetes with Percona MongoDB Operator was significantly more costeffective for the customer from an infrastructure perspective, while Percona Server for MongoDB provides required features such as physical backup capabilities and enhanced security at no additional cost.
Following the completion of the six-month project, Percona provided support to Minsait and the customer for any escalation issues that might arise, helping the customer team take ownership of the project for the future.
Percona solutions are free from vendor lock-in and can be run on any infrastructure in the future, as needed. For the customer, this means that they can stay in control of their decisions around their technology platforms over time, rather than being beholden to any one vendor or supplier. For Minsait, the project could be delivered at a significantly low cost, while hitting the customer’s requirements around flexibility, speed, and service.
Minsait helped a Tier One Telecoms Company to migrate its critical business and operational applications, including moving an existing MongoDB implementation to the cloud. Minsait worked with Percona to implement the new MongoDB infrastructure on Percona Software for MongoDB and Percona Operator for MongoDB, delivering enterprise-class functionality at a very competitive price. Minsait delivered the following results:
