Organizations running Microsoft environments often face challenges when transitioning workloads to the cloud. Microsoft Migration to AWS helps organizations move Microsoft applications and infrastructure to AWS while maintaining performance, security, and operational stability.

This service supports migration planning, architecture design, and execution for Microsoft workloads including Windows Server, SQL Server, Active Directory, and .NET applications. The engagement helps organizations evaluate their current environment, plan migration strategies, and execute workload transitions to AWS using cloud best practices.

Key features include:

• Assessment and planning for Microsoft workload migration to AWS
• Migration strategy development for Windows Server, SQL Server, and related workloads
• Architecture design aligned with AWS best practices
• Workload migration execution and transition guidance -Planning for long-term AWS operations and modernization

What it Solves Organizations running Microsoft infrastructure on-premises often face rising infrastructure costs, limited scalability, and increasing operational complexity. Migrating Microsoft workloads to AWS allows organizations to modernize infrastructure, improve availability, and enable scalable cloud operations.

Service Outcomes

• A structured migration strategy for Microsoft workloads
• Secure transition of Windows-based applications to AWS
• Reduced infrastructure management complexity
• Improved scalability and operational flexibility
• Foundation for modernization and ongoing cloud operations

FAQs

What is included in the Microsoft Migration to AWS service?

Discovery and assessment of your Microsoft 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 Microsoft workloads on-premises or in a co-location facility who want to reduce data center footprint and control Microsoft 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 support specific Microsoft workloads such as SQL Server or Active Directory?

Yes. We can plan and execute migrations for Windows-based workloads, including SQL Server and Active Directory, selecting the appropriate target AWS services (e.g., EC2, Amazon RDS for SQL Server where appropriate, and identity integration) and validating application compatibility and performance.
