Migrate & Modernize
VMware to AWS
Transform your infrastructure while maintaining operational continuity. Avoid the cost of ripping and replacing by choosing the right migration pathway for your business.
The Business Reality: The Rules Have Changed
The acquisition has fundamentally altered the VMware landscape. Perpetual licenses are gone. Bundling is mandatory. Costs are rising. The "status quo" is no longer a safe harbor—it's an active financial risk.
Escalating Costs
Reports indicate licensing cost increases of 3x to 10x for many enterprises under the new subscription model.
Mandatory Bundling
Forced adoption of full-stack bundles means paying for shelfware you don't need and can't use.
The Cost of Waiting
Every renewal cycle without a plan compounds your technical debt and locks you into unfavorable terms.
Your Decision Crossroads
Unlock innovation, elasticity, and funded migration support.
"The problem is not migration. The problem is knowing which path to take."
Your Migration Options
We offer three distinct pathways, optimized for different business needs. You can combine them—starting safe and evolving to full modernization.
1. Amazon EVS
Keep Everything Familiar
Runs VMware Cloud Foundation directly in AWS. Fastest path to exit on-prem without architectural changes.
- Zero application changes
- Same tools (vCenter, vSAN)
- Timeline: 6-12 weeks
2. Rehost to EC2
Lift, Shift & Optimize
Move to native AWS EC2 instances. Optimization path for future modernization and cost reduction.
- 20-40% cost savings
- Auto-scaling & DR
- Timeline: 3-6 months
3. Modernize
Full Transformation
Rearchitect for cloud-native: Serverless, Containers, and Managed Services.
- Max competitive advantage
- Ship features daily
- Timeline: 6-12+ months

Common Questions
How long does a migration take?
Timeline depends on complexity and pathway. EVS migrations can complete in 6-12 weeks. EC2 rehosting typically takes 3-6 months. Full modernization is 6-12+ months. We use a wave-based approach to deliver value incrementally.
Which migration pathway is right for us?
It depends on your goals. EVS is best if you need to exit on-prem quickly with zero changes. EC2 rehosting balances speed with cost optimization. Full modernization delivers maximum competitive advantage. We often recommend a hybrid approach: start with EVS or EC2, then selectively modernize high-value workloads.
What are the actual cost savings?
Typical savings range from 30-60% TCO reduction. This comes from eliminating VMware licensing costs, pay-as-you-go pricing, auto-scaling, right-sizing, and AWS license-included instances. The AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) can reduce Windows/SQL Server core counts by 45-77%.
What about business continuity and risk?
We mitigate risk through extensive testing, pilot migrations, and wave-based execution. Applications are tested before cutover. We maintain parallel environments during transition and have tested rollback procedures. Most migrations achieve 99.9%+ uptime during the transition.
Do we maintain control and ownership?
Absolutely. You own your AWS environment and infrastructure. We execute the migration and can optionally provide Managed Services for day-to-day operations, but you maintain complete control, access, and decision-making authority over your systems.
Can AWS help fund the migration?
Yes. The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides financial credits and investment to help offset the initial costs of migration and modernization. MAP offers a proven three-phase methodology (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate & Modernize) backed by AWS and partner expertise. As an AWS Migration Competency Partner, we help you access MAP funding and guide you through the entire program to accelerate your cloud journey.
