# Public Storage’s Cloud Migration: Unlocking Agility and Innovation
Public Storage, the largest owner and operator of self-storage facilities globally, partnered with SELECCIÓN Consulting to embark on a transformative cloud migration journey. This case study highlights the seamless migration from Rackspace On-Prem to Google Cloud, orchestrated by SELECCIÓN to enhance agility, scalability, and performance.
## Client Overview
Since opening its first self-storage facility in 1972, Public Storage has grown to become one of the largest owners and operators of self-storage facilities in the world. With over 3,350 locations across the U.S, and more than 243 million net rentable square feet of real estate, it’s also one of the largest landlords. With customer focus and a dominant presence in major markets, Public Storage has maintained a leadership position in the self-storage industry for more than half a century.
## Challenges
Public Storage, a rapidly expanding company, grappled with a critical challenge: the time-consuming process of scaling up hardware resources in their hosted data-center. These delays put at risk their ability to scale resources and establish new environments, impacting the company’s agility in responding to increasing demands. Compounding this issue was a need to improve visibility in their infrastructure and network performance. Moreover, despite their aspirations to unlock the transformative potential of AI, ML, and serverless analytics for extracting invaluable insights from their data, the challenge of deploying rapidly infrastructure at scale, made these ambitions a challenge.
## Our Solution
Our solution embarked on a strategic migration journey to the , tackling current challenges head-on and laying the foundation for the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies. Guided by the DART methodology, we refined the migration strategy, prioritizing the ‘Lift and Shift first and optimize later’ approach. Leveraging the StratoZone assessment tool, we conducted a thorough evaluation of the existing infrastructure and meticulously analyzed the resources earmarked for migration.
In collaboration with Public Storage, SELECCIÓN devised a comprehensive migration plan, categorizing resources into distinct move groups. We architected a robust landing zone following cloud best practices, bolstered by Palo Alto Network firewall to fortify the cloud environment, and harnessed VeloCloud SD-WAN services for enhanced connectivity across its properties.
SELECCIÓN seamlessly migrated Public Storage’s expansive infrastructure, encompassing hundreds of servers and databases, including many with High-Availability and Geo-replicated datasets. The migration included moving hundreds of terabytes of storage to Google Cloud through carefully planned migration phases, all with no unplanned downtime or disruption of services to its customers.
Furthermore, we thoroughly configured Datadog for Infrastructure and Application monitoring, ensuring comprehensive oversight, and implemented Commvault for a robust backup strategy, safeguarding data integrity.
## The Result
The collaborative efforts yielded transformative results, immediately felt throughout Public Storage. The once time-consuming task of scaling hardware resources was streamlined, with the process now taking mere minutes instead of days.
This agility has empowered the company to swiftly adapt to evolving business demands. Proactive monitoring of infrastructure and applications has become the norm, ensuring optimal performance across the board, from Infrastructure and Network to Security. Moreover, heightened visibility has been achieved in every aspect, propelling Public Storage into a realm of modernization.
This investment sets the stage for various planned optimization efforts across the Public Storage workload landscape, including the modernization of SQL databases into fully managed services, containerizing workloads, harnessing advanced analytics, and embracing next-generation AI tools. The migration to GCP not only optimized performance, security, and reliability but also positioned Public Storage for substantial cost savings through efficient resource management, making them truly ‘Future-Ready’. This project’s resounding success has not only transformed Public Storage’s operational landscape but has also laid a robust foundation for their sustained growth, innovation, and competitive edge in the real estate storage sector.

# A Case Study on Moving to Google Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery – Enhancing Data Security
Our client sought to streamline their backup and disaster recovery (DR) processes for Google Cloud Compute instances. Facing challenges with their existing Commvault solution, they turned to SELECCIÓN Consulting for a more efficient, cloud-native alternative. We recommended  Backup and DR, resulting in numerous operational and financial benefits.
## Challenges with Commvault
The client faced several issues with their Commvault setup:
### Frequent Backup Failures:
Scheduled backups were unreliable, often failing and requiring manual intervention.

Critical files were locked during backups, disrupting ongoing operations.
### Agent Management:
Installing and maintaining backup agents on each instance was cumbersome and resource-intensive.
### Complexity and Costs:
The reliance on Commvault added complexity to their tech stack and incurred significant licensing costs.
We proposed migrating to Google Cloud Backup and DR, a fully managed, cloud-native solution. The transition involved configuring scheduled backups, setting up retention policies, and ensuring data integrity without the need for additional software or agents.
## Benefits Realized
The move to Google Cloud Backup and DR yielded significant benefits:
### Reliability:
The client experienced a notable improvement in the reliability of scheduled backups, with failures becoming a thing of the past.
### No File Locking:
Google Cloud’s solution ensured that files remained accessible and operational during backups, eliminating disruptions.
### Agentless Operation:
The client no longer needed to install or manage backup agents, simplifying their IT operations. Moreover, the backup process did not consume CPU or RAM resources on the instances, preserving their performance for core applications.
### Cloud-Native Efficiency:
As a cloud-native solution, backup and restore processes were faster and more integrated with their Google Cloud infrastructure.
### Enhanced Reporting:
The client gained access to advanced reporting capabilities, providing better visibility into backup operations and data protection status.
### Cost Savings:
By eliminating Commvault licenses and support, the client realized significant monetary savings, reducing their overall IT expenditure.
## Outcome
The transition to Google Cloud Backup and DR not only resolved the operational challenges but also simplified the client’s technology stack. With increased reliability, efficiency, and cost savings, the client can now focus on their core business operations with the confidence that their data is securely backed up and easily recoverable.

# Solution Architecture for SD-WAN Deployment with VeloCloud in GCP Environment
SELECCIÓN aided in designing an SD-WAN architecture with VMware’s VeloCloud on . The objective was to establish efficient and secure communication between many branch offices or physical locations (referred to as “branches”) and the GCP network.
## The Challenge
GCP imposes strict limits on route learning, hindering the dynamic processes vital for SD-WAN deployments. At present, Google Cloud Router limits routes to 250 per region, with a possible extension to only 1000. With the ambitious task of assimilating nearly 3000 unique destination IP ranges from the VeloCloud orchestrator, these constraints posed a formidable challenge we needed to solve for our client.
## The Solution
Proposed SD-WAN solution:
* VeloCloud announces routes to a routing appliance (BGP Peering)
* Simplified routing with one appliance per VPC.
* Routing Appliance as Aggregator, Central device handles 3800+ routes.
* Decisions made within appliance for Traffic Routing.
* Traffic securely routed to VeloCloud & IPsec tunnels secure traffic within VeloCloud.
SELECCIÓN deploys Palo Alto’s NGFW as a routing appliance.
Our solution overcame GCP’s route learning constraints and provided the core capabilities needed for large-scale SD-WAN deployments. Through strategic employment of BGP peering, route aggregation, and specialized routing appliances, this architecture provides efficient traffic flow across branches and the GCP realm, all while delivering appropriate levels of security and scalability to meet our customer’s needs.
## Conclusion:
SELECCIÓN Consulting’s innovative solution not only addressed the client’s immediate challenges but also positioned them for future success in an increasingly digital landscape. By overcoming GCP’s route learning constraints and delivering a robust SD-WAN architecture, SELECCIÓN Consulting demonstrated its commitment to driving transformative change and delivering tangible results for its clients.
