The Diocese, encompassing 88 parishes, 15 counties, and 34 Catholic schools across Central Pennsylvania, is responsible for supporting education, parish operations, and community services. Operating within strict financial limits, the Diocese strives to deliver increased value across education, parish operations, and community programs.
Their Challenge
• Infrastructure Limitations: On-premises hardware constrained scalability and hindered rapid response to evolving workloads.
• Hidden Vulnerabilities: Reliance on legacy systems introduced security gaps and reduced operational efficiency.
• Single Point of Failure: Disaster recovery depended solely on an intra-regional solution, leaving systems exposed to a regional event.
Our Strategy
• Cloud Migration: Designed and executed an AWS migration plan to transition on-prem systems to a cloud-based architecture.
• Geographic Dispersion: Extended disaster recovery from a single-campus model to a regionally distributed, cloud-enabled strategy.
• Continuous DR Testing: Developed and maintained a comprehensive DR plan with quarterly testing.
The Results
Cost Optimization
Future-Ready Architecture
Enhanced Resiliency
Veritium delivered a pay-as-you-go cloud architecture that eliminated costly hardware refresh cycles and provided a scalable foundation for future growth. The Diocese now operates a flexible cloud platform that adapts seamlessly to evolving technology and organizational requirements.
The Diocese’s new strategy was implemented at approximately 20% of the production cost of traditional on-prem DR architecture. With AWS, critical systems are protected against regional outages, ensuring uninterrupted access to essential services. We deliver continuous 24/7/365 monitoring, frequent DR testing, and rapid remediation, removing the need for specialized DR skill sets in‐house.
