EVS Runway: Amazon Elastic VMware Service migration assessment

Unlocking your VMware Strategy to take advantage of AWS can now be achieved by assessing your VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) private cloud estate and how to maximise AWS Elastic VMware Service (EVS) for your business. Building the business case for change to ensure your critical VMware core back office is able to extend and take advantage of AWS services while retaining knowledge and skills.

Extending your VCF landscape with AWS has huge benefits, aligning to strategic goals, and unlocking integrated services from AWS. Without EVS, migrations to Public Cloud did not suit all applications, making migrations stall post assessment, discovery phases complex, and causes tension within the business on the values versus realisation of the migration. The cost of technology programs to your organisation simply cannot afford lengthy, costly, and disruptive results.

Enabling your VMware landscape to remain post migration and relocate to AWS utilising the AWS EVS ensures that your private cloud capabilities can be extended on public cloud, ensuring all the benefits, while retaining all skills and heritage applications on your VMware landscape.

The Xtravirt driven EVS migration assessment, ensures your VMware landscape is understood by leading VMware experts and retained on a proposed pathway, building out your VCF capabilities to AWS EVS.

Xtravirt will review your current VMware landscape, utilising VMware experts to gain insights from your VMware landscape and workshops with your teams. This will then generate:

• An Optimized Licensing Assessment - reviewing both Microsoft and VMware licenses to fully understand benefits and TCO to AWS EVS
• An Assessment analytics report - driving outcomes from the data and from your business on operations, people, and sustainability
• A technical review demonstrating Availability, Manageability, Performance, Recoverability, and Security
• A business case presentation - delivered by Xtravirt experts to key stakeholders to inform on the critical outputs found in the report.
• A runway to success on AWS EVS, a roadmap indicating potential timelines for adopting and transitioning to VCF on AWS EVS
