There are a number of new complications when it comes to managing VMware. Price increases are at the forefront, with users reporting hikes anywhere from 100% to even over 1,000% in the matter of a year. This, combined with infrastructure challenges and scalability limitations, is leaving organizations wondering if they should accept new subscription models, move to competing hypervisors, or migrate to the cloud.
Mission is helping organizations navigate these obstacles with ease by transitioning their VMware environments to the native power of AWS. The services and tools available on AWS let you optimize costs and run your workloads only when you need them. Mission has migrated thousands of workloads to AWS and is expert in helping organizations reap these benefits.
Whether you are currently running on-premises or VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC), we have the processes and expertise to move your workloads to AWS-native services in a way that is fast, effective, and always secure.
On-Prem VMware to AWS Migration
Moving from an on-premises VMware infrastructure to a cloud-first approach with AWS is a transition that will prove invaluable to your business - if the change is led by an expert-team who knows both the platform and your requirements inside and out.
Our team will learn about your current infrastructure at a granular level, assess your projected Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for AWS early on, identify potential migration blockers and risks, and then execute migration activities from start to finish, all while keeping top notch security at the forefront and enabling visibility for your stakeholders in our Mission Control platform.
VMware Cloud (VMC) to AWS Migration
Companies running VMware Cloud on AWS are reporting licensing cost increases of 3-10X. As approaching renewals call for action, companies are turning to Mission to move their workloads to AWS-native services.
Our team has deep experience migrating workloads from VMware Cloud to AWS. In our migration process, we evaluate your current applications, craft a roadmap tailored to your needs, and deliver migration based on your ideal future state. Once migrated, our Solutions Architects can help identify modernization opportunities for containers, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and more.
