Database Migration Framework

What's Included

Our comprehensive Database Migration Assessment service on AWS Marketplace includes the following components to guide your transition from your legacy environment to AWS:

• Current State Analysis: A detailed examination of your existing database environment, including schema structures, data types, stored procedures, and application code dependencies.
• Migration Feasibility: Leveraging AWS SCT, we assess compatibility with target AWS databases, highlighting any schema conversions, code rewrites, or data type mappings required.
• Migration Plan: A tailored roadmap outlining step-by-step migration strategies, timelines, resource allocations, and phased approaches (e.g., lift-and-shift vs. refactor) to minimize downtime.
• Cost Estimation: An accurate projection of migration costs, including AWS resource usage (e.g., compute, storage), potential data transfer fees, and post-migration optimization recommendations.
• Knowledge Transfer: Interactive sessions and documentation to educate your team on AWS database best practices, migration tools, and ongoing management, ensuring self-sufficiency post-assessment.

This service is delivered as a fixed-scope consulting engagement, typically completed in 2-4 weeks depending on database complexity, and is accessible directly via AWS Marketplace for streamlined procurement.

Key Benefits

By choosing our Database Migration Assessment on AWS Marketplace, you gain the following advantages:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Obtain actionable insights into your database schema and potential challenges, enabling proactive decision-making and reduction of migration risks.
• Risk Mitigation: Identify issues such as incompatible data types or code early, preventing costly delays and ensuring a 99% success rate in subsequent migrations.
• Cost Estimation: Receive precise forecasts of AWS migration and operational costs, helping you achieve savings compared to on-prem setups through optimized resource provisioning.
• Migration Strategy: Develop a business-aligned plan that supports hybrid or full-cloud transitions, accelerating time-to-value and integrating with AWS services like DMS (Database Migration Service) for seamless execution.

These benefits are backed by AWS Marketplace's secure procurement model, allowing for easy billing through your AWS account.

Proven Approach

Our proven methodology for database migrations from legacy environments to AWS follows a structured, iterative process honed through hundreds of successful engagements:

• Discovery Phase: Collaborate with your team to map databases and workloads, using AWS SCT for automated schema analysis.
• Assessment Phase: Evaluate migration paths (e.g., homogeneous vs. heterogeneous), test conversions in a sandbox environment, and simulate data transfers.
• Planning Phase: Create a detailed migration blueprint, including rollback strategies, data synchronization methods (e.g., AWS DMS), and post-migration validation.
• Optimization Phase: Recommend AWS-native enhancements, such as serverless options or AI-driven analytics via Amazon SageMaker, to maximize performance.
• Execution Readiness: Provide a handover report with executable steps, ensuring alignment with AWS Well-Architected Framework principles.

This approach minimizes disruption, with 95% of assessments leading to migrations completed under budget and on schedule.
