Proven vcf to AWS migrations: senior engineers, fixed scope
Yes, moving VMware Cloud Foundation to Amazon Web Services (Native IaaS) is a well-understood project. We replatform workloads to EC2, S3, and EBS, eliminating hypervisor licenses and hardware footprints.
The lowest-cost way off VMware Cloud Foundation: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support VMware Cloud Foundation → Amazon Web Services (Native IaaS) after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project with senior platform engineers
- ✓Keep legacy VCF on vendor support while you migrate
- ✓If renewal lapses, 3rd-party support covers most issues
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy platform support costs
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout the migration
- ✓Post-migration AWS optimization, security, and patching
Datacenter exit deadlines
Datacenter exit mandates force you to leave VCF on-premises, but you need a proven migration plan.
Skyrocketing VCF costs
Extreme Broadcom licensing cost increases make staying on VCF unsustainable for your budget.
Need for Cloud-Native agility
Global scaling and modern development require Native AWS Services, but replatforming feels risky.
VMware Cloud Foundation → Amazon Web Services (Native IaaS) migration — your questions answered
How do you handle Layer 2 network stretch?+
We handle Layer 2 dependencies through a phased approach, using AWS Transit Gateway and VPN or Direct Connect to maintain connectivity during the move. No forced big-bang cutover.
What about legacy software tied to physical MAC/hardware IDs?+
We re-IP or use AWS AMI-based rehosting, adjusting for software that relies on MAC addresses. Our engineers validate each workload before migration.
How do you migrate clustered databases that need deep refactoring?+
High-volume clustered databases often require refactoring. We assess and plan a migration path (e.g., to Amazon RDS or Aurora) with minimal downtime.
Will I lose support during the migration?+
Your VCF environment stays under Broadcom support as long as your contract is active. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues (not patches) while you complete the move.
Your VCF-to-AWS migration, fixed and managed
Your migration doesn't have to be a gamble. We manage the entire lifecycle—from assessment to post-move optimization—while keeping your legacy VCF systems supported and compliant. AWS Cloud optimization, cost management, security monitoring, and patching are included in our post-migration service. Start with a TCO assessment.
