AWS Cloud Viability Assessment
Understanding your cloud cost efficiency and licensing strategy is crucial before migrating to AWS. Our expert cloud consulting team will conduct a comprehensive AWS Cloud Viability Assessment, analyzing your current on-premises and cloud environments to uncover opportunities for cost savings, performance optimization, and licensing efficiency. We provide prioritized and actionable recommendations to help you reduce costs and modernize your workloads on AWS.
Why Conduct an AWS Cloud Viability Assessment?
A Cloud Viability Assessment serves as the baseline measurement of how effectively your organization can optimize costs, licensing, and performance when migrating to AWS. It helps identify areas where your cloud strategy can be improved, ensuring you maximize price-to-performance efficiency while reducing unnecessary expenditures.
Key Features of an AWS Cloud Viability Assessment:
- Resource Right-Sizing:
Evaluate your actual compute utilization to determine the most cost-effective AWS instance types, storage solutions, and pricing models—including on-demand, spot instances, and savings plans. - Cost & Licensing Optimization:
Assess your current software licensing strategy (Microsoft, VMware, Oracle, SAP) to identify unnecessary expenditures. The assessment provides insights on Bring Your Own License (BYOL) vs. License-Included (LI) models, reducing licensing costs by up to 77% on Windows Server and 45% on SQL Core licensing. - Workload Migration Strategy:
Gain a clear roadmap for migrating workloads efficiently to AWS. Model different deployment scenarios and identify cost-saving opportunities before making the move. - Detailed Reporting & Recommendations:
Receive an actionable report with prioritized insights aligned with AWS best practices, helping you build a business case for migration with measurable cost benefits.
