VMware Exit

VMware Exit to AWS

Move off VMware before the next renewal: most VMs rehosted to right-sized EC2 with AWS Application Migration Service, a time-boxed Amazon EVS landing for what cannot move yet, and the data center contract ended on a date you choose.

4–12 weeks for the first waves

$20k–$80k

Overview

Broadcom's move to subscription-only VMware bundles turned many renewals into a reason to leave. We plan and run the exit to AWS: most virtual machines rehosted to EC2, a short stay on Amazon EVS where a hard deadline demands it, and the applications worth modernizing identified for later.

What we do

Plan

  • Discovery of VMs, utilization and dependencies; grouping by application and owner

  • A priced comparison of EC2 rehost, EVS and modernization per group, including the VMware subscription you would keep under EVS

  • A wave plan sequenced around the renewal and data center dates

Build the landing

  • Accounts, networking (Direct Connect or VPN, Transit Gateway), identity, backup and monitoring

Move

  • AWS Application Migration Service replication, test launches and cutover per wave

  • Right-sizing and Savings Plans once usage is known

  • EVS for the workloads that cannot move by the deadline

Deliverables

  • Migrated workloads, runbooks per wave, a decommissioning list for the data center and a cost report against the VMware renewal
