ChannelPlay moved core applications to AWS with zero downtime and recovery targets under one hour

The existing infrastructure lacked tested disaster recovery and high availability. An infrastructure failure could interrupt services and cause data loss, while service owners had no defined recovery sequence.

• Limited disaster recovery capabilities: The existing infrastructure had no tested disaster recovery path, leaving ChannelPlay exposed to outages and data loss.
• Insufficient high availability: Single points of failure in the infrastructure could disrupt service and affect client operations.
• Business continuity concerns: Without a business continuity plan (BCP), ChannelPlay had no defined way to recover from unexpected events.

BluePi migrated ChannelPlay core applications into a multi-tier AWS architecture with public and private subnets, Multi-Availability Zone deployment, high-availability controls, a disaster-recovery path, VPN access, IAM controls, and business-continuity procedures.

• Disaster recovery with RPO and RTO under one hour: Recovery is designed to limit data loss and operational impact during a disaster.
• Multi-tier architecture: Web, application, and database tiers are decoupled for better scalability and resilience.
• Multi-AZ deployments: Workloads run across geographically separate Availability Zones for higher availability.
• Zero-downtime migration with no data loss: The cloud transition completed with no planned downtime, no data loss, and minimal disruption to operations.
• Secure infrastructure: Segregated network subnets, VPN tunnel access, and identity and access management (IAM) controls protect the environment.

The migration completed with zero planned downtime and no data loss. The resulting environment had RPO and RTO targets under one hour, higher availability and performance, and stronger network and administrative access controls.

• Stronger business continuity: Business continuity planning with high availability and disaster recovery keeps services running and limits disruptions.
• Higher availability and performance: Multi-AZ deployments and the decoupled architecture increased application availability and performance.
• Reduced costs: Better scalability and resource utilization reduced costs.
• Improved security: Network segregation, VPN access, and IAM controls protect data and restrict administrative access.

Users and administrators entered segregated public and private network tiers. Web, application, and database layers ran across Availability Zones, while the disaster-recovery environment and VPN- and IAM-controlled administration supported the recovery path.

Both the recovery point objective and recovery time objective were under one hour. Core applications moved with zero planned downtime and no data loss.

ChannelPlay moved from infrastructure with single points of failure and no defined recovery sequence to a documented business-continuity path with multi-zone availability, recovery targets, and controlled administrative access.
