This presentation will outline how UCOP moved their DR from on-premises to AWS cloud - the what, who, why and how. What was accomplished including the desired and actual outcomes.

This project was a win in many ways:

• Cost Savings: elimination of periodic large capital expenditures transitioned to predictable annual AWS costs • Resource Efficiency Gains: a consolidated infrastructure footprint
• Cloud Experience Increased: excellent preparation for future AWS migrations
• DR testing: we tested all DR systems that had never been done before.
