Overview
The Cloud Application Migration Accelerator is a comprehensive migration solution that streamlines the transition of your applications to the AWS cloud. The Accelerator automates traditionally time-consuming and error-prone processes, significantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of your cloud migration efforts. Whether your applications are currently running on physical servers, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or other on-premises infrastructure, this solution is designed to migrate workloads from any source infrastructure that runs supported operating systems.
In addition to facilitating the migration process, the Cloud Application Migration Accelerator provides the tools necessary to modernize your applications simultaneously. You can apply custom modernization actions or opt for built-in actions such as cross-Region disaster recovery, Windows Server version upgrade, and Windows MS-SQL BYOL to AWS license conversion. This dual functionality allows you to maintain normal business operations throughout the replication process, preventing long cutover windows and enabling you to reap the benefits of the AWS ecosystem faster.
Cost reduction is another key benefit of the Cloud Application Migration Accelerator. By providing one tool that accommodates a wide range of applications, the need for application-specific skills and training is eliminated, reducing the overall investment required for migration. Furthermore, moving to AWS gives you access to over 200 services that lower costs, increase availability, and facilitate innovation, enhancing the overall performance and resilience of your application infrastructure. Overall, the Cloud Application Migration Accelerator simplifies, expedites, and reduces the cost of migrating and modernizing applications, delivering a comprehensive solution for your cloud transition needs.
