We analyze your entire estate to apply the precise "R" that maximizes business value while minimizing disruption. ![AWS 7 Rs Cloud Migration Strategies Flowchart](/_astro/7rs.BnuT5JxD_Z1ONM58.webp) #### Rehost (Lift & Shift) Speed Focus Moving applications to the cloud exactly as they are. No code changes. **Use Case:** Rapid datacenter exit requirements (e.g., lease expiration) or large-scale migration with minimal disruption. **Business Impact:** Immediate CapEx reduction and fastest time-to-value. Establishes a cloud foothold for future optimization. #### Relocate (Hypervisor-Level) Speed & Stability Moving infrastructure to a compatible cloud environment (e.g., VMware on AWS) without changing operations. **Use Case:** Large-scale VMware estates requiring migration without staff retraining or application refactoring. **Business Impact:** Seamless extension of on-premise infrastructure. Mitigation of operational risk with zero downtime. #### Replatform (Lift, Tinker, Shift) Efficiency Focus Optimizing the underlying platform (e.g., OS or Database) without changing the core application code. **Use Case:** Reduction of management overhead (e.g., self-managed DB to Amazon RDS) without full application rewrite. **Business Impact:** Immediate reduction in operational labor (OpEx) and improved licensing efficiency with moderate effort. #### Refactor (Re-architect) Innovation Focus Re-imagining the application using cloud-native features (Serverless, Microservices). **Use Case:** Applications identified as competitive differentiators requiring high-frequency feature delivery. **Business Impact:** Maximum long-term agility and market responsiveness. Shifts IT spend from maintenance to innovation. #### Repurchase (Drop & Shop) Simplicity Focus Replacing the application with a SaaS solution (e.g., Salesforce, Workday). **Use Case:** Commodity functions (HR, CRM, Email) where custom software offers no competitive advantage. **Business Impact:** Complete elimination of maintenance burden. Alignment with industry-standard best practices. #### Retire (Decommission) Turning off apps that no longer serve a purpose. **Business Impact:** Immediate cost avoidance (~10-20% portfolio reduction). #### Retain (Do Nothing) Maintaining applications in current environment due to strict compliance or technical constraints. **Business Impact:** Strategic prioritization. Focuses resources on high-value modernization targets. ### Your Trusted Guide to Cloud Migration involves risk—if managed poorly. We bring the certified expertise, tooling, and **AWS Competencies** required to execute even the most complex migrations with absolute certainty. ##### AWS Advanced Partner We hold specific competencies for Migration and Modernization (MAP). ##### Data-Driven Discovery We map every dependency (application, network, storage) before executing. ##### Full Lifecycle Ownership From the initial Business Case (TCO) to Day 2 Ops and ongoing optimization. Average TCO Reduction \-31% Migration Velocity 3x Faster Downtime Events 0 AWS OFFICIAL FRAMEWORK ## Your Safe Path to Scale We lead you through the proven **AWS MAP framework**. This isn't just a process; it's our mechanism for guaranteeing operational readiness and funding outcomes. #### Assess Discovery We assess your readiness and build the data-driven business case. Using **AWS Migration Evaluator**, we right-size on-premises resources to project accurate TCO. * **Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA)** to find gaps. * **Business Case** with optimized cost modeling. 1 Outcome ##### Valid Business Case & Migration Capability #### Mobilize Foundation We fix the gaps found in Assess. This phase builds your secure **Landing Zone** (Control Tower) and validates the migration strategy with a pilot application. * **AWS Control Tower** for multi-account governance. * **Skills Center of Excellence** (CCoE) training. 2 Outcome ##### Secure Landing Zone & Pilot Success #### Migrate & Modernize Execution Factory-model execution at scale. We use automation to migrate waves of workloads while modernizing high-priority applications. * **AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)** for rapid lift-and-shift. * **AWS DMS** for zero-downtime database cutover. 3 Outcome ##### Modernized Portfolio & Operational Excellence ## Common Questions ### What is the AWS MAP program? The Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is an AWS funding framework. As a Competency Partner, Parsectix can unlock significant cash credits and service discounts to offset your migration costs. ### Do we have to re-write everything? No. We choose the right "R" for each app. We might **Rehost** (Lift & Shift) legacy apps for speed, while selectively **Refactoring** core business apps for innovation. ### Can we migrate legacy mainframes? Yes. We have specialized patterns for mainframe modernization, including automated code conversion and data replication to modern AWS data stores. ### How long does a migration take? It varies by scope, but the MAP framework is designed for speed. A typical "Assess & Mobilize" phase takes 4-8 weeks, followed by migration waves that can move hundreds of servers per month. ## Ready to Secure Your Future? Don't navigate this journey alone. Let's build your migration roadmap together. [Schedule Your Strategy Session ](/contact-us) A 30-minute peer conversation, not a sales pitch.
