Foodland — Azure Cloud Migration

Tyto led an end-to-end migration of Foodland's server estate from a third-party data centre into Microsoft Azure, avoiding substantial hardware refresh capital and delivering a modern, secure cloud platform.

A single point of failure could disrupt an entire site

Foodland Promotions — the entity behind buying and campaign management for Foodland's independent SA supermarkets — ran its core ICT in a third-party data centre on ageing physical hardware that was out of warranty and due for replacement.

A like-for-like on-premises refresh would have required substantial capital outlay, and the existing model carried high, variable costs, limited scalability, and growing security and compliance risk. Foodland wanted a modern, flexible platform rather than another hardware cycle.

the solution

A modern, resilient enterprise network built for care

Tyto led an end-to-end migration of Foodland's server estate from the data centre into Microsoft Azure, delivering the environment under Tyto's cloud management.

A governed, enterprise-scale cloud landing zone (hub-and-spoke) in an Australian region, with policy guardrails aligned to recognised security benchmarks.
A phased lift-and-shift — assess, plan, migrate, optimise — with ~24 workloads in scope across production and test environments.
Hybrid connectivity with centralised monitoring and telemetry, and cloud-native backup and recovery protection.
Endpoint and server security standardised on an enterprise security platform; ongoing environment, backup and cost management retained by Tyto.

The primary cutover was executed in a tightly-managed window, with staff kept informed and access restored via new cloud-hosted session hosts.

the outcome

A resilient network aligned to the needs of aged care

The migration was delivered and the environment is live and Tyto-managed today, with workloads, monitoring and backups running in the cloud and hardware-refresh capital avoided entirely.

The approved business case projected a significant reduction in annual running costs, with the project modelled to pay for itself within months. Beyond cost, Foodland gained elastic capacity, a modern security posture and a platform that removed the risk of failing, out-of-warranty hardware.
