Experience behind Nakatomi

Global Hybrid Infrastructure Transformation

Reduced cost and complexity across a substantial global hybrid estate while progressively moving away from legacy managed datacentres toward cloud and modernised services.

Web Platforms for Asset & Wealth Managers · Previous senior employment experience. This work was delivered by Robert in that earlier role or engagement and is included to show the experience and leadership approach that sit behind Nakatomi Consulting today.

The situation

What needed to be understood or changed.

The platform estate spanned two Rackspace datacentres, AWS and Azure across production, disaster recovery and multiple non-production environments. Historical reporting shows more than 500 active or listed compute instances at a point in time.

The work

From understanding the position to aligning people, decisions and delivery.

  • US datacentre closure and workload relocation
  • AWS and Azure strategy
  • Cloud modernisation and infrastructure rationalisation
  • Capacity and cost modelling
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity
  • Supplier and vendor management
  • Automation and repeatable infrastructure practices
  • Operating-model transformation

Outcome

What changed and what was achieved.

Contemporary reporting shows recurring infrastructure run-rate reducing from approximately $172k per month to approximately $100k per month, a reduction of around 42%, while the estate was simplified and modernised.
