How a government agency achieved complete hybrid cloud visibility during a high-stakes infrastructure migration — catching critical failures before they reached production.
A government agency needed to migrate a 400-node production environment to a hybrid cloud architecture with zero tolerance for downtime. Any production incident would trigger compliance reviews and operational disruptions affecting thousands of end users.
The core challenge: existing monitoring tools could only observe either the legacy on-premises environment or the cloud destination — never both simultaneously. During cutover, there would be a critical window where workloads existed in both environments with no tool capable of correlating performance signals across the boundary.
Three previous migration attempts at comparable agencies had resulted in P1 incidents during cutover. The team needed a fundamentally different approach.
Applicare was deployed across both environments simultaneously, constructing a unified entity graph that captured every dependency relationship — application, service, database, and network layer — across the hybrid boundary.
IntelliSense, Applicare's causal anomaly detection engine, began correlating signals across all 400 nodes in real time. During the pre-migration staging phase, it identified three dependency failures that would have cascaded into production incidents during the live cutover window.
IntelliTune provided automated remediation recommendations for each failure, allowing the engineering team to resolve all three issues before any migration wave began. During the actual cutover, Applicare monitored both environments continuously with instant visibility into any regression the moment traffic shifted.
The migration completed on schedule with zero production incidents across all 400 nodes. Compliance posture was maintained throughout — no audit flags, no remediation cycles, no post-migration firefighting.
“We had tried this migration before and hit P1 incidents every time. With Applicare, we caught the failures in staging. The cutover was the smoothest migration this team has ever executed.”
