Rapid Migration Offer (RMO) supplies a comprehensive, fixed-price solution per server for seamless ‘lift-and-shift’ migrations to AWS. The RMO solution includes discovery, total cost of ownership analysis, strategic wave planning, and the actual migration process, providing a streamlined pathway to AWS.

Benefits

Speed

Quickly migrate to AWS, leveraging experienced migration to specialists.

Cost avoidance

Use RMO to migrate off VMware directly to Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) in cases of extra data center needs due to lease expiration, facility closure, or to avoid costly hardware or software refreshes.

Operational excellence

Options to add Landing Zone, AD and SSO integrations ensure you have a production ready infrastructure.

RMO provides for all phases of a successful migration, including:

If necessary, a discovery of your servers and environment.
A total cost of owner ship (TCO) or business case
A proof-of-concept (PoC) or pilot migration to validate that the AWS environment is ready before starting the full-scale migration
Large-scale migration execution
Deployment of a Landing Zone and integration with Active Directory and/or SSO with your identity provider if needed

RMO qualifies for various AWS funding mechanisms, meaning the already low fixed price per server migration total cost is often fully offset via AWS direct funding and service credits.
