Real Estate – VMware Migrations to AWS
Prime Property Care is a leading real estate group managing residential and commercial properties across multiple regions. With growing digital demand and aging infrastructure, the organization needed to move away from its legacy VMware environment and transition to a modern, scalable, and secure cloud platform.
Reliability, Security and Scalability
Customer Challenges
Legacy VMware infrastructure was costly to maintain and lacked scalability
On-premise systems had limited disaster recovery and availability features
Security controls were difficult to enforce and monitor consistently
Application deployments were slow and manually managed
The business needed to support high availability for critical property systems and portals
Storage and data backup lacked redundancy and long-term durability
Secure / with No Single Point of Failure
Our Solution
loudiQS led a strategic VMware-to-AWS migration, helping the customer modernize its IT operations using AWS-native services. The solution focused on rehosting critical workloads, improving data resilience, and establishing strong cloud security practices.
We began by evaluating the on-prem VMware workloads and identifying candidates for lift-and-shift migration using Amazon EC2. Where possible, backend databases were offloaded to Amazon RDS, providing automated backups, high availability, and simplified management.
To support automation and backend processing, we introduced AWS Lambda functions to handle property listing updates, scheduled tasks, and lightweight API interactions, reducing infrastructure overhead.
Data storage and backup were consolidated into Amazon S3, enabling scalable, durable, and cost-effective storage for files, media, and historical records. Lifecycle policies and encryption were configured to meet retention and compliance requirements.
We reinforced security by implementing:
Automated patching and monitoring through AWS Systems Manager
IAM roles and policies based on least privilege
AWS Config, GuardDuty, and CloudTrail for visibility and compliance
Security Groups and VPC isolation for network control
Cost savings. secure and fully Redundant
