Pythian migrates company’s global assets to GCP without downtime

Many businesses migrate to the cloud to take advantage of cost savings and improved agility.
Optiva, a Canada-based company that develops software for communications service providers, recently migrated to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with help from Pythian’s team of experts. Since the migration, Optiva has seen the following benefits:
- reduced its data center costs from $15 million to $1.5 million
- consolidated its remaining physical servers from 10 data centers to one
- reduced four support ticket management systems to one
- uses only seven operating systems instead of 50
- has four remote desktop protocol (RDP) systems instead of 120
- pays only for resources used instead of always-on servers
- deploys workloads to larger GCP data centers which are billed at lower rates
