CloudWise Cloud Readiness Assessment

With cloud computing emerging as a critical enabler for businesses of all sizes, it has become imperative to evaluate existing IT infrastructures to determine their readiness for cloud adoption. Cloud Readiness Assessment offers a no-cost comprehensive Cloud Readiness Assessment service, tailored to help organizations of all sizes understand the potential advantages of transitioning to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Our Cloud Readiness Assessment complimentary optimization and licensing assessment is a comprehensive service designed to help organizations of any size evaluate their current on-premise IT infrastructure and explore the strategic advantages of migrating to the AWS cloud. This assessment provides a detailed analysis of your existing systems, identifying potential areas for improvement and highlighting the benefits of cloud adoption, such as enhanced scalability, cost savings, and improved operational efficiency. By leveraging AWS’s cutting-edge technology, your organization can modernize its operations, reduce overhead, and position itself for future growth.

The Cloud Readiness Assessment is a no-cost detailed and holistic optimization and licensing evaluation that focuses on every aspect of an organization's IT infrastructure. It provides an accurate picture of an organization’s current on-premises IT state and highlights areas for improvement by identifying bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for optimization. The objective of the assessment is to help businesses determine whether they are ready to migrate to AWS cloud services. Cloud Readiness Assessment optimization and licensing assessment identifies any limitations or bottlenecks in your current infrastructure that may hinder cloud adoption. We assess factors such as network bandwidth, storage limitations, and outdated hardware, ensuring that your organization has a clear understanding of what needs to be upgraded or modified before a full migration. In addition to infrastructure evaluation, the assessment includes a thorough Licensing Assessment to ensure your organization’s software and licenses are optimized for the cloud environment. We analyze your current licensing agreements and recommend maximizing value while minimizing compliance risks. This holistic approach ensures that your transition to the cloud is seamless, efficient, and fully aligned with your business goals.

Cloud Readiness Assessment delivers a comprehensive report that models your deployment options based on actual resource use and your existing licensing entitlements, helping you uncover potential cost savings through flexible licensing options. It is a no-cost comprehensive assessment of your current on-premises and existing cloud environments. Avoid unnecessary licensing costs with the results of the optimization and licensing assessment. Model licensing scenarios, including license-included or BYOL instances, for flexibility in managing seasonal workloads and agile experimentation. Cloud Readiness Assessment models dedicated and license-included environments, letting you pay for what you use to get the most out of your cloud computing and licensing costs.

# Benefits

Rightsize your resources Optimize resource utilization of your workloads with our tool-based discovery approach. Cloud Readiness Assessment offers insight into compute resources. It helps to identify the best Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instance size and type for each workload. Determine the right mix of on-demand and spot instances, Bring Your Own Licenses (BYOL) and license-included instances, as well as dedicated hosts and savings plans tailored for your environment.

Reduce costs Running workloads in the cloud requires fewer instances and licenses due to the elasticity of the cloud. Optimizing your cloud infrastructure is key to reducing costs, and performing an AWS OLA offers 60% greater license efficiency. Overprovisioning third-party licensing increases your total cost of ownership. Use the recommendations from an AWS OLA to maximize value and configure instances to require fewer licenses. Adapt your on-premises licensing strategy for a smoother cloud migration.
