Workload & License Assessment

Modernizing your infrastructure requires more than just moving servers — it requires a surgical exit from high-cost licensing and inefficient storage models. The HMA is a zero-cost, high-velocity discovery engagement that targets VMware instances, proprietary software licenses, on-premises storage, and Cloud-to-AWS migration paths.

Modernize with Amazon EVS

Transition legacy VMware clusters to Amazon Elastic VMware Service with total operational continuity and your existing VCF licenses.

Oracle & Microsoft License Freedom

Break free from the 'Proprietary Tax' by modernizing SQL Server and Oracle workloads — often reducing licensing costs by 45% or more.

Cloud2AWS Financial Mapping

Granular analysis of Azure or GCP consumption to project your AWS TCO, identifying cost-effective migration paths past punitive exit fees.

'Dark Data' & Storage Optimization

Transition from high-cost block storage to intelligent Amazon S3 Tiering. Routinely cut storage OpEx by 50% or more.

The Multi-Vector Audit

Virtualization & VMware Analysis (Amazon EVS) — Audit legacy clusters to architect a seamless transition maintaining operational consistency and VCF license portability.

Oracle & Microsoft License Freedom (AWS OLA) — Model the most cost-effective path to move SQL Server, Oracle, and Windows workloads to AWS using the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment framework.

Cloud2AWS Migration Assessment — A 360-degree migration blueprint with comprehensive pricing comparison, directional service mapping, and 'To-Be' architecture for Azure/GCP exits.

On-Prem Storage Lifecycle Optimization — Analyze legacy SAN, NAS, and file-server footprints to identify 'Dark Data' and implement automated S3 tiering policies.
