A winning cloud strategy
Choose the right modernization strategy to get more from your Microsoft-based applications.
Enterprise applications form the backbone of today’s digital enterprises. This is particularly true for Microsoft-related technologies that are a part of our day-to-day work lives. Think .Net applications, Windows servers, SQL databases, SharePoint, and Exchange. But these technologies require flexible IT resources—management tools and compute, database, and deployment services—for simplified operational overheads. There is also a rising need for higher performance, reliability, and cost optimization, which necessitates a cloud platform to deploy Microsoft workloads on.
The right modernization roadmap helps enterprises move and build their Microsoft applications on a secure, and reliable cloud-computing platform optimized for Windows-based workloads.
Surefire approaches
Achieve seamless and safer migrations with a tool-based assessment, mobilization, and foundation build strategy.
With interdependent enterprise application landscapes, moving workloads to the cloud without disrupting business or downtime is an uphill task. A strategic roadmap with the following step-by-step approach to move business-critical workloads to cloud can help you navigate the complexities:
Assess your technology landscape to identify the best-fit migration solutions.
Plan migration projects by gathering information about on-premise data centers aiding mobilization of workloads with solutions like AWS Application Discovery Service.
Build a target landing environment using services such as AWS Landing Zone and AWS Control Tower to set up a well-architected, multi-account environment.
This is where TCS’ fully automated factory-based migration of Microsoft workloads to cloud comes in.
Migration simplified
Harness an automated, cloud-first factory model for a complete environment on AWS.
TCS’ fully automated factory-based migration provides a well-defined and tested process for migration of Microsoft workloads from data centers to AWS Cloud, or from one cloud to another. The migration to cloud involves several paths such as migration of applications by modernizing existing applications, developing new cloud-native applications, or transforming existing applications to meet AWS’ cloud-native architecture. Our assembly-line approach also integrates assurance for seamless migration of Microsoft workloads. From migration to troubleshooting operating system issues, it’s all taken care of. You can:
Migrate .Net applications with AWS Application Migration Service, AWS Server Migration Service, and VMware Cloud on AWS to relocate hundreds of applications to AWS Cloud swiftly.
Automate moving SQL-based data workloads with AWS DataSync between on-premises storage and Amazon S3, Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), or Amazon FSx. AWS Database Migration Service keeps the source database operational during the migration.
Move large data types from data centers with AWS Snow Family, which offers several physical devices and capacity points with built-in computing capabilities.
Transfer files directly into or out of Amazon S3 using AWS Transfer Family services.
Troubleshoot operating system issues related to target servers on AWS with EC2Rescue for EC2 Windows.
Reap big benefits
Improve productivity and innovate frequently to win markets with Microsoft workloads on AWS’ fully managed infrastructure.
Apart from a cost-effective, fully automated, and scalable environment, AWS offers a comprehensive set of management tools for Microsoft Windows Server workloads. AWS Cloud offers best-in-class availability zones, improved performance, and reduces the cost for optimizing Microsoft workloads. It also offers incomparable depth and breadth by providing a variety of compute, database, application, and deployment services for Microsoft workloads in a single platform.
