Overview
Sonata’s Migrations & Modernization Options for VMware Workloads
- Rehost VMs to Amazon EC2 “Lift and shift” migration to AWS, requiring some underlying infrastructure changes to get the benefits of the cloud.
- Replatform Workloads to Containers Shifting from VMware workloads to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) or Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) enables containerization, which can improve application portability, scalability, and developer productivity.
- Replatform Workloads to Managed Services Some underlying infrastructure changes are required to move applications to managed services, such as on-premises databases being moved to managed databases.
- Refactor Workloads to Native Services Full modernization – applications are fully rewritten, decoupled, or modified to be executed on cloud-native components such as serverless technology.
Sonata offers three pathways to migrate from VMware to AWS:
• Migrate & Modernize to AWS Native Services: Accelerates migrations while reducing complexity. Fully funded and validated by AWS, integrates seamlessly with AWS Migration Hub, and is available through AWS Marketplace.
• Nutanix (NC2) on AWS: Enables seamless migration with optimized tools, cost and licensing benefits, streamlined procurement, and alignment with the AWS technical and GTM teams.
• Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA): Fully integrates with AWS cloud infrastructure, offering a managed application platform supported by Red Hat, a turnkey solution for Day 2 operations, and unified billing for both Red Hat and AWS services.
We leverage AWS migration tools like AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), DMS, andMigration Hub, as well as AWS-funded ISV solutions such as RiverMeadow, Concierto, MatildaCloud, MontyCloud, and CloudHedge to streamline your migration journey.
Assessment In a Box: Vmware Migration to AWS A comprehensive assessment of your on-premises VMware environment to help you plan and estimate the costs associated with migrating your workloads to AWS. It includes tools and processes to: Analyze your current VMware infrastructure (VMs, storage,networking). Identify workloads suitable for migration to AWS. Estimate migration costs and resource requirements on AWS. Generate a migration plan with timelines and steps.
Pilot Migration in a Box: VMware Migration to AWS This solution builds upon the assessment and helps you validate your migration plan through a pilot project. It involves: Migrating a select set of VMs from VMware to AWS. Testing the migrated VMs in the AWS environment. Verifying performance, security, and functionality. Providing insights and adjustments for the full-scale migration.
