First Southern National Bank (FSNB) is a financial institution dedicated to helping the Southeast communities it serves thrive. When Broadcom introduced significant changes to VMware pricing and software bundles, FSNB sought an alternative solution with greater flexibility and advanced capabilities.
Their Challenge
Escalating Costs: VMware-Broadcom licensing changes introduced significant price increases, impacting long-term sustainability.
Scaling Pressure: Rapid internal growth drove demand for expanded storage and compute capacity.

Our Strategy
Workload Analysis: Assessed existing environment and designed an optimized AWS architecture.
Strategic Planning: Identified opportunities to consolidate end-user data and enhance efficiency through cloud services.
AWS Migration: Executed seamless migration to AWS, incorporating AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service (EDRS) for resilience.
DR Testing: Developed comprehensive DR runbook and conducted frequent tests as an extension of FSNB’s IT team.
