Cloud Migration 101: Separating Myths from Reality
Despite 89% of SMBs having at least one cloud tool, there’s still a great deal of hesitation among SMBs to fully commit to cloud migration. With many cloud conversations centered on enterprises—who have a completely different set of needs and resources than SMBs—that hesitation is no surprise. And the information that does exist for SMBs is often misleading at best and downright untrue at worst.
How We Can Help
Windows Workloads on AWS
Moving to AWS doesn’t mean moving away from your favorite Windows applications. In fact, AWS runs 2x more Windows Server instances than the next largest competitor. You can select from a number of Windows Server versions including the latest version, Windows Server 2019. It’s your business on Windows…only better.
End User Compute
For the ultimate in end-user compute flexibility, AWS WorkSpaces is a managed, secure Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution. Use it to provision desktops in just a few minutes and quickly scale to all of your workers, wherever they are working. You can pay either monthly or hourly, which helps you save money when compared to traditional desktops and other on-premise solutions.
Database Migrations
Move your data into AWS seamlessly with no disruption to service and availability! It’s fast and secure, and the source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database. Migrate from Oracle to Oracle, or between different database platforms, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server to Amazon Aurora. You can continuously replicate your data with high availability and consolidate databases into a petabyte-scale data warehouse.
Microsoft SQL on AWS
Run Microsoft SQL Server for as much or as little time as you need and select from a number of versions and editions. SQL Server on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) gives you complete control over every setting. Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a fully managed service that takes care of all the maintenance, backups, and patching for you.
VMware Cloud on AWS
If you’re looking for a way to migrate to the cloud with all of the advantages of VMware and AWS, look no further. We can help you expand capacity and alleviate maintenance disruptions, with all of the scalability you need to cost effectively address peaks and valleys in your compute workloads.
