Railway firm cut annual IT costs by 57% in their cloud journey

This case study examines how a major North American railway company operating across 22 states addressed its IT challenges when planning cloud migration from an on-premises environment of 5,021 virtual machines.

Using CloudSphere's platform for assessment and discovery, the company achieved:

• 57% annual cost reduction through AWS reserved instances and right-sizing
• Discovery of over 15,571 applications across platforms
• 39% reduction in Microsoft SQL Enterprise core counts
• Identification of 563 end-of-life operating systems, reducing security risks

The solution provided complexity scoring, migration planning, and optimization recommendations, enabling the railway to meet industry regulations.
