VM Migration to AWS

Migrate servers from your on-premises infrastructure directly into AWS. Automate the schedule and track incremental replication of live server volumes.

OVERVIEW

Highly Secure and Scalable Environment

The ever-increasing data volumes and number of cyberattacks, constant changes in customer behavior, and unexpected demand spikes are some of the main reasons why enterprises across the globe experience challenges with their on-premises infrastructure. It is crucial for large-scale organizations to ensure their business-critical applications are always up and running in a highly secure and scalable environment.

Why VM Migration to AWS?

By migrating on-premises VMs to AWS cloud, leading organizations ensure that their IT environment is responsive and resilient, while maintaining highly available infrastructure and continuous business operations.

Scalability

Leverage highly scalable AWS resources which can handle any increase in traffic and data volume.

Flexibility

Adjust and change easily the compute resource which you are using without having to do any investments.

Cost-efficiency

Embrace a flexible pay-as-you-go model where AWS takes care of the data centers your AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances reside in and remove huge capital expenditures.

Security

Host your virtual machines (VMs) in a highly secure AWS environment, with multiple layers of security and data protection.

Reliability

Ensure your VMs are always accessible and protected against data loss thanks to the high availability and disaster recovery features provided by AWS.

Performance

Take advantage of the high-performance network and storage infrastructure provided by AWS cloud, which improve the performance of your VMs.

Migrate Your Applications to AWS Now

With more than 20 years of experience in leading our clients to success, Adastra will help you in defining your cloud migration strategy and will help you migrate your applications and infrastructure to the cloud, so your organization can focus on creating business value, rather than administrating data center

Adastra’s Approach to VM Migration to AWS

Our experts utilize the best practices and frameworks, created by AWS, to support the assessment, discovery, planning and migration of your on-premises applications and VMs to AWS. Being an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, Adastra can help you define your business case and apply for AWS funding through the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP).

Identify stakeholders from all internal departments and conduct discovery workshops to assess the applications that should be migrated. We then define the requirements that will impact the applications and document them.

We join forces to map every on-premises application/VM to a target EC2 instance (family and type). We plan the data migration in detail, along with the application migration steps including all the underlying dependencies, as well as the testing strategy to ensure the accuracy of the migrated applications.

Execute the AWS VM migration plan starting with the configuration of your AWS cloud environment, including setting up accounts, VPCs, security groups, and other necessary components. We then migrate your VMs to AWS establishing the right monitoring features and controls that provide insights into your VMs performance. At the end of each VM migration cycle, we fine-tune your AWS environment to ensure that it is running at peak efficiency. Sometimes we change the type and family of some of the EC2 instances to make sure you are using the correct resources.

“Adastra worked closely with our operations, applications, and security teams to decide on the best architecture for the solution and was able to migrate over 100 servers to AWS in less than 100 days. We migrated more than 70 terabytes of data and are now hosted fully on the AWS Cloud.”

VM Migration to AWS FAQ

Why migrate virtual machines to AWS?

Migrating on-premises VMs to AWS makes your IT environment responsive and resilient, with highly available infrastructure and continuous operations. AWS resources scale with traffic and data volume, you avoid large capital expenditure with pay-as-you-go pricing and your VMs run in a secure environment with multiple layers of security and data protection.

We follow three steps. In Assess, we run discovery workshops with stakeholders and document requirements for each application. In Mobilize, we map every on-premises VM to a target EC2 instance family and type and plan data migration, dependencies and testing. In Migrate, we configure your AWS environment, migrate the VMs and set up monitoring.

Yes. As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, Adastra can help you define your business case and apply for AWS funding through the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP). This can lower the cost of your migration. We follow AWS best practices and frameworks for assessment, discovery, planning and migration of your applications and VMs.

At the end of each migration cycle, we fine-tune your AWS environment so it runs at peak efficiency. Sometimes we change the family or type of some EC2 instances to make sure you use the right resources. Monitoring features and controls give you ongoing insight into the performance of your migrated VMs.

Yes. AWS high availability and disaster recovery features keep your VMs accessible and protected against data loss. The high-performance network and storage infrastructure of AWS can also improve VM performance. This helps business-critical applications stay up and running despite growing data volumes, more frequent cyberattacks and unexpected spikes in customer demand.

CBI Health worked with us to choose the best architecture together with its operations, applications and security teams. We migrated over 100 servers to AWS in less than 100 days and moved more than 70 terabytes of data. The organization is now fully hosted on AWS, with lower maintenance costs and modern infrastructure.
