Del Monte’s migration to AWS went unnoticed by some of its own users
When Del Monte Foods Inc. began to consider migrating its entire information technology operation to the cloud on Amazon Web Services Inc., it was looking at a time frame of at least seven months to make the move. By the time Del Monte had completed its migration plan, in partnership with Accenture, that window had been cut in half.
“We looked at what the benefits would be, and it turned into an obvious choice for us to do it,” said Chad Anderson (pictured, right), director of operations, IT, at Del Monte. “The best compliment I got was when people said they didn’t even know we did anything.”
Anderson spoke with Stu Miniman (@stu), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, at the AWS Summit event in San Francisco. He was joined by Chris Wegmann (pictured, center), managing director at Accenture, and Steven Jones (pictured, left), director of solution architecture at AWS. They discussed the logistics behind the migration and the business reasons for moving to the cloud. (* Disclosure below.)
Automation condensed technical work
Del Monte joins a growing list of enterprises who are “all-in” in moving IT operations to AWS. The migration involved 200 servers and more than 25 terabytes of data, and it affected more than 1,000 users globally.
“A lot of it was AWS, being about to spin up the infrastructure and being able to automate a lot of the tasks that needed to be done,” Wegmann said. “We were able to condense a lot of the technical work that needed to take place.”
One of the motivations for Del Monte’s move was to take advantage of cloud services, which would help the company become more responsive to consumer needs as it managed online listings on shopping sites, such as walmart.com.
“In the early days it was all about cost, driving cost out of the system,” Jones said. “Now it’s about an ability to move quicker.”
