Nagarro VMware Exit to AWS: AI-Led Migration at Net-Zero Cost*

WHAT A VMWARE EXIT IS WORTH, IN YOUR NUMBERS

• Eliminated VMware licensing: a 2,000-core estate at roughly $350 per core per year is about $700K every year, removed from the bill.
• Right-sizing dividend: around 60% of VMware VMs run below 15% CPU. Right-sizing during migration typically cuts the like-for-like AWS bill by 20-30%.
• AWS helps pay for the move: AWS-funded assessment, MAP Assess and Mobilize partner cash, the AWS VMware migration incentive, and Migrate-phase credits, all passed through to you at 100%. For a typical 500-VM estate the customer's net year-1 position is positive by over $1M under our published model.
• Speed to safety: assessment in about 5 business days, exit blueprint in 2 to 3 weeks, and factory throughput benchmarked at 55+ VMs per week, sequenced to beat your renewal anniversary and its late-renewal penalty.
• Certainty: committed wave dates carry service credits, you pay per VM actually migrated, and retired VMs are never billed.

POWERED BY ATLAS 200+ AI agents, agentless read-only vCenter discovery (pyVmomi; Hyper-V and Nutanix also supported), dependency mapping that finds up to 40% more links than manual methods, evidence-grounded planning, and human-in-the-loop cutover. Your raw data stays in your tenant; only schema-bound findings leave.

WHY AWS-NATIVE RATHER THAN A HYPERVISOR SWAP Migrating to AWS-native EC2, Amazon EKS, and Amazon RDS removes the VMware line item permanently and unlocks the over-provisioning dividend. Hosted-VMware destinations keep you on VMware licensing terms. ATLAS is vendor-neutral by design: where hosted VMware is genuinely the better answer for a workload, the assessment says so.

HOW THE ENGAGEMENT RUNS

1. Free assessment (~5 days): agentless vCenter discovery, real utilization capture, license posture, and indicative funding math for your estate.
2. Exit blueprint (2 to 3 weeks): per-VM 7R disposition, dependency maps, a wave plan anchored to your renewal date, landing zone gap review, and the complete AWS funding application prepared by Nagarro. Typically covered in full by AWS MAP Assess funding.
3. Migration factory (4 to 6 weeks per wave): AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) based replication and cutover to right-sized EC2, automated validation, rollback readiness, and live progress tracking.
4. Decommission and license exit (2 to 4 weeks): final cutover verification, vCenter and ESXi decommission with evidence, data sanitization attestation, and non-renewal readiness ahead of your anniversary date.
5. Day-2: optional managed optimization through NOVA, the FinOps pillar of ATLAS, also on AWS Marketplace.

THE ASTERISK, PUBLISHED Net-zero cost* means a net-position outcome, not a waiver of fees. The assessment is free. Migration fees are per VM actually migrated at published indicative rates. AWS MAP cash and the AWS VMware migration incentive are passed through to you at 100%, subject to AWS funding approval, minimum estate size (indicatively 250+ VMs or $500K+ post-migration AWS annual run-rate), and milestone evidence. Migrate-phase AWS credits land on your AWS bill and expire (typically 12 months); credit programs generally do not stack. If AWS approves less funding than estimated, the shortfall is shared 50/50 up to a cap and you may descope remaining waves without penalty. Engagements are governed by Nagarro service terms attached to each private offer (SOW-based).
