Overview
Effectual’s AWS Storage Assessment is a structured 5-week engagement that delivers deep visibility into your existing storage environment and a clear, actionable roadmap for migrating to AWS. Powered by NetApp Cloud Insights and delivered by Effectual, a validated AWS Storage Services Competency Partner, this offering combines deep technical expertise with field-proven methodologies to guide enterprises through every phase of storage analysis and planning.
During the engagement, our team deploys observability tools to inventory your storage arrays, identify performance trends, and map access patterns. We then align workloads to the most suitable AWS storage services—such as S3, EBS, EFS, and FSxN (Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP)—based on performance, availability, and cost considerations.
The final deliverable includes a migration strategy, cost modeling, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, and prioritized next steps. Eligible for AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) funding and creditable toward implementation, this assessment accelerates cloud adoption while reducing complexity and maximizing long-term value.
