Migration to AWS from VMware

Organizations running VMware environments often face challenges when planning a transition to AWS. This service helps organizations migrate their VMware infrastructure to AWS while ensuring a stable, secure, and scalable cloud environment.

The engagement focuses on planning and executing a structured VMware-to-AWS migration strategy. Through expert guidance and migration best practices, organizations can successfully move workloads while minimizing operational disruption. The service supports organizations in designing their AWS environment and preparing their workloads for long-term cloud operations.

Key features include:

• VMware workload discovery and migration planning
• Migration strategy design for transitioning VMware environments to AWS
• Cloud environment design aligned to AWS best practices
• Migration execution guidance and workload transition support
• Planning for ongoing cloud management after migration

What it Solves Many organizations rely on VMware environments that can become costly or difficult to scale. Migrating these workloads to AWS allows organizations to modernize infrastructure, improve scalability, and reduce operational complexity while maintaining stability during the transition.

Service Outcomes

• A structured plan for migrating VMware workloads to AWS
• Reduced risk during infrastructure migration
• Improved scalability and operational flexibility
• AWS environment designed using cloud best practices
• Foundation for long-term cloud operations and modernization

FAQS

What is included in the Migrate to AWS from VMware service?

Discovery and assessment of your VMware environment, migration planning and wave design, AWS landing zone, VPC and network connectivity prerequisites (as needed), migration execution (rehost or replatform where appropriate), validation and testing, and post migration recommendations for optimization.

Who should use this service?

Organizations running VMware on-premises or in a co-location facility who want to reduce data center footprint and control VMWare relicensing costs, accelerate cloud adoption, improve resiliency, or prepare for a broader modernization program on AWS.

How long does the engagement take?

Timelines vary based on number of servers, dependencies, and required security/compliance controls. Typical engagements range from 4 to 12 weeks, with timelines finalized after the initial assessment phase.

Can the migration approach be tailored to specific environments or compliance requirements?

Yes. We align the target architecture and controls to your requirements (e.g., encryption, logging, retention, segmentation, IAM, and evidence collection) and can adapt deliverables to common security frameworks.
