An Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) offers great insight for licensing scenarios and inputs to a migration journey. Another key component is a right sizing exercise, which assesses the current on-premises utilization (CPU, Memory, Disk) to recommend a cloud-based “right sized” instance/virtual machine type. Right sizing in terms of provisioned storage, may further reduce backup volumes, or backup licensing expenditure.

A common challenge when planning to move workloads to a public cloud like AWS is whether to Bring Your Own License (BYOL) or use included hourly licensing. Microsoft licensing for Windows Server and SQL Server are most often than not the sole focus of a license optimization exercise.

The OLA provides cost models for running Microsoft workloads on AWS, optimized for both licensing and compute. Using the complete set of infrastructure utilization metrics, we can advise you on the most appropriate target state infrastructure and build a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model for your cloud ecosystem.

Furthermore, we have additional services to help you plan, build, and operate your target AWS infrastructure.
