AWS Managed Cloud Migrations

Assess

• Components analysis
• Cost overview
• Migration strategies
• POCs

Any of our customer projects begins with the assess phase.

It is about documenting the current state. Based on the goals of your enterprise, possible target states are determined. A key factor is an overview of the present systems and applications and the determination of their relationships.

In the next step, each component is evaluated to determine a suitable migration strategy. This helps to determine, if an application is suitable for a migration or if it should be optimized within the project scope.

An examination of the cost structure is another core element of this project phase. Besides a realistic view of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the potential AWS environment, a determination of savings for your enterprise is already possible at this point. This can be achieved by detecting optimization potential regarding the resource requirements or even by abolishing individual applications as they are no longer required.

Depending on the demand, the analysis phase is the right time to gain valuable experience and validate assumptions with a proof of concept (POC). For large and complex projects, we also offer a migration readiness assessment (MRA). Besides technical topics, other aspects like the business case, employee training, operations within the cloud, and security and compliance are evaluated more closely.

Mobilize

• Creation of the plan
• Best Practises
• Baseline configuration

In the Mobilize Phase, a Plan Is Created Based on Our Experience and General Best Practices, Adapted to Your Specific Requirements

We draft a migration concept for all components and data affected and we develop secure, cost-efficient, and manageable target architectures.  Together, we eliminate obstacles, which were discovered during the assess phase. This ensures that your project will be successful.

Most of our customers elect for a re-host (lift & shift) or a re-platform (lift, tinker & shift) strategy during the initial migration. Both approaches offer an elevated level of automation possibilities and velocity. This allows reaching initial business goals quickly. Even without or with only few adaptations, all benefits of AWS and cost optimization can be achieved.

But comprehensively leveraging all cloud-native benefits and the related transformation can often be realized only by extensive customization. The re-factor and re-architect approaches are the methods of choice in this case. Our expert with his expertise for container, microservices, and serverless applications is available to you here, too.

Security is also one of the key topics in the scope of the AWS Cloud. In this regard, compliance requirements must be observed, and an authorization and access concept must be developed. The foundation for a safe, yet flexible and modern environment is nowadays a so-called “landing zone”. We lay this foundation using a flexible multi account structure according to best practices. It is the base for essential security and control measures, without constraining innovation and productivity in the individual sections of your teams and projects.

This is the foundation for a successful data migration. Therefore, we use a tailored migration concept, which considers proven approaches as well as your individual requirements. This way, we guarantee a quick migration while minimizing effort, cost, and risk.

Leverage the Cloud

• Auto-Scaling
• Automation
• Elasticity
• High Availability

Migration is Only the Beginning

We will not leave you alone after the project and will continue to support you proficiently.

We often witness initiatives losing momentum after the initial migration, resulting in a poor utilization of the potential of the AWS Cloud.

Optimize

• Auto-Scaling
• Automation
• Elasticity
• High Availability

Enhancing Your Efficiency and Performance

We help you with an iterative optimization and cooperatively and continuously enhance your velocity, productivity, performance, manageability, and cost efficiency.

For many areas, a migration to the AWS Cloud can be the go-ahead for further optimizations towards a modern cloud-native environment. This drives other issues like innovation or the reduction of tech debt.

Run & Operate

• Managed Service
• Focus on your Core Business

Full-Scale Operation and Proactive Management with 24/7 Support

We take on the complete operation for you and will care for a proactive management, including continuous monitoring and 24/7 support.

If you want to concentrate on your core business, we can extend the co-operation beyond migration. In this case, you can leverage our experience as proficient managed service provider for your AWS Cloud environment.
