What does infrastructure modernization actually look like for a midmarket IT team?
In this episode of Ready.Set.Midmarket!, Adam Dennison and Samara Lynn sit down with Ali Molavi, Infrastructure Solutions Architect and Team Lead at Publix Employees Federal Credit Union (PEFCU), to break down a real-world migration from VMware to a hybrid cloud environment powered by Azure.
Facing rising costs, aging infrastructure, and increasing disaster risks (including hurricanes), PEFCU rethought its entire IT strategy—moving from a dual data center model to a hybrid cloud architecture with Azure as a disaster recovery platform.
Ali shares how his team consolidated infrastructure, migrated workloads with minimal downtime, and delivered measurable business outcomes—including lower licensing costs and improved uptime—all while operating with a lean IT team.
The conversation also covers a critical but often overlooked factor in modernization: culture change. As Ali explains, successful transformation isn’t just about new technology—it’s about whether your team is ready to adopt it.
