Answering “yes” to any of these questions means that the Storm Reply OLA is right for you: • Are you thinking of moving your on-prem Microsoft workloads to the cloud? • Are you looking for ways to save on third-party licensing costs? • Are you wondering which deployment model will suit your needs?

An Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) will provide you with visibility into performance/utilization of resources, understanding of future costs with AWS, and a clear plan for migration to AWS.

Activities

• Use a scanning tool to analyze current utilization of on-prem hardware/servers for Microsoft workloads (Windows Server and SQL Server)
• Provide configuration/deployment options for Microsoft workloads
• Analyze existing licensing and recommend licensing options to optimize costs
• Estimate total costs of ownership (TCO) for moving on-prem Microsoft workloads to AWS
• Recommend migration strategies

Outcomes: An OLA report will include a business case, AWS hosting options, licensing optimization, and budget guidance
