Strategic Cloud Migration to Frontiir Enhances Efficiency and Resilience for Wave Money in Myanmar
Wave Money, a leading financial institution in Myanmar, sought to enhance the efficiency and resilience of their multi-cloud setup for primary DC and DR (both previously VMware-based). Recognizing the growing importance of data locality and security in Myanmar, they strategically partnered with Frontiir, a locally hosted IaaS provider.
While a comprehensive Proof of Concept (POC) ensured thorough validation, the subsequent migration of their workloads to Frontiir’s platform was remarkably quick and easy, leveraging Frontiir’s efficient tools for seamless migration. Frontiir’s intuitive platform UI also empowered Wave Money’s engineers to readily manage their active workloads, supported by Frontiir’s local experts. The go-live of their active-active load balancing diverse platforms on Frontiir’s infrastructure was seamless.
By strategically migrating their workloads to Frontiir’s locally hosted platform, Wave Money has achieved:
- Enhanced Data Locality and Future-Proofing: Establishing a strong foundation for meeting current data requirements and strategically preparing for potential future data sovereignty regulations in Myanmar.
- Increased Resilience: Benefiting from Frontiir’s robust, locally optimized infrastructure for their diverse technology platform needs.
- Cost Optimization: Leveraging Frontiir’s competitive pricing model for their cloud OpEx.
- Rapid Migration: Experiencing a quick and easy transition of their workloads post-POC.
- Expert Local Support: Responsive local support team with committed SLA for ongoing Customer success.
“Migrating our entire core IT workload from VMware to Frontiir’s IaaS platform on AliCloud was one of the best strategic decisions we’ve made. What stood out was how hassle-free and smooth the entire process was—from initial planning and POC to final cutover. The technical strength and professionalism of Frontiir’s Cloud Infrastructure team were truly impressive and gave us complete confidence every step of the way.
Not only did we complete the migration in less than two weeks, but we’ve also achieved over 50% reduction in our IT operational expenditure—a game-changer for our business.
Even post-migration, Frontiir has continued to exceed expectations. Their responsive support team and strong SLA-driven culture have ensured our systems run with high reliability and performance. To us, Frontiir is not just a vendor—they are a strategic partner in our digital transformation journey.” says Ko Htin Aung Hlaing, CPTO of Wave Money.
This strategic migration underscores Frontiir’s commitment to providing resilient, efficient, and locally focused cloud solutions tailored to the evolving needs of financial institutions in Myanmar. We are proud to partner with Wave Money in their journey towards a more agile and strategically sound cloud infrastructure.
