Business Case Analysis migration tool details

Descriptions of Business Case Analysis migration tools from AWS Partners and AWS

Migration tools from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partners can help accelerate your migration to the AWS Cloud and to AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). To find the tool that best meets your business needs, you can review products on the migration tool page, and then use this page to review detailed product information for migration tools that perform total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis.

AWS Partner product descriptions and reported qualifications, including compliance, are provided by the AWS Partner and are not verified by AWS. For more information about these products, contact the AWS Partner. You are encouraged to conduct your own additional due diligence before choosing to use any of the products listed.
