While the global Hadoop-as-a-service market size is growing at a CAGR of ~39%, it leaves out many small, mid, and large-scale organizational players due to the inherent pains of migration. This post explores how Virtusa complements Amazon EMR Migration by providing approaches and utilities to streamline and manage large-scale Hadoop-to-Amazon EMR migrations by creating a migration framework of automated modules.

To enhance organizational, operational, and technical capabilities, many businesses are migrating their applications to AWS. This post walks through the lift and shift migration of a supply chain customer’s mission-critical legacy applications to emulated SPARCs on AWS utilizing Charon-SSP, the legacy SPARC emulator from Stromasys, and common Solaris-native tools. We’ll describe the customer’s context, Stromasys technical solution, and explore a successful lift and shift of a Solaris application, as-is, to AWS.

DXC Technology offers a suite of application services to migrate a customer’s application portfolio from a legacy infrastructure to the container management service in the most efficient manner. These services are bundled under DXC’s Applications Containerization as a Service (aCaaS) offering and enable organizations to leverage the seismic shift in application hosting with containerization. Learn how some of the challenges encountered during legacy migration can be successfully mitigated using AWS App2Container.

Numerous legacy workloads, still hosted on premises, are mission-critical and hardly interruptible. Their migration to AWS must happen quasi-transparently for their users. This post details how the combination of AWS Outposts and CloudEndure can be used to solve for this issue. We demonstrate this by migrating a Solaris machine making use of the Charon SSP emulator by Stromasys, running on standard Amazon EC2 instances and using CloudEndure.

This post explains the challenges faced by customers running SAP ECC environments on premises and how IBM can accelerate their S/4 HANA transformation journey to AWS. The IBM Accelerated Move Centre (AMC) delivers a cost-effective approach to SAP S/4HANA transformations, enabling customers to migrate and modernize, utilize existing investments, reduce costs, and embrace cloud innovations. IBM has nearly 50 years of experience in the industry, and has completed more than 6,500 SAP projects.

Application modernization is an important and growing migration strategy for many businesses. To make it easier for AWS customers to find partners with validated migration and modernization software offerings, we are excited to announce the AWS Migration and Modernization Competency.

This post describes a solution created by IBM during the migration of a big data and analytics platform for one of the top 10 banks worldwide. The primary drivers were cost efficiency, business agility, and performance. The “pet to cattle” concept was applied to this solution to transform the legacy high availability disaster recovery solution to a more robust and cost-effective cattle-based solution through the use of AWS-native services.

Verisk provides data analytic insights to customers in insurance, energy and specialized markets, and financial services. Learn how a joint team from AWS and Verisk Argus migrated petabytes of SQL Server data from on-premises to Amazon S3 and Amazon S3 Glacier using AWS Snowball Edge and the Amazon EMR custom Spark ingestion framework. Through this migration framework, Verisk Argus is positioned to save millions of dollars by moving to AWS from their data center.

To reap the benefits of cloud computing, organizations cannot simply take their existing applications and architectures in their legacy on-premises environment and move them as-is to the cloud. True cloud modernization with MongoDB Atlas on AWS enables you to move data and simultaneously apply the latest innovations in development methodologies, architectural patterns, and technologies to refresh your portfolio of existing applications.

A well-architected multi-account AWS environment helps businesses use AWS to migrate, modernize, and innovate faster. Many customers currently using the self-managed AWS Landing Zone solution are looking to transition to AWS Control Tower to gain additional benefits. This post describes a strategic collaboration between Tech Mahindra, AWS, and a customer in Africa to transition from AWS Landing Zone to the AWS Control Tower environment.
