Charting an Enhanced Path to Transformation - Cognizant's Approach to Migrating VMware to AWS Cloud Native Services
Wednesday, February 12 — 10 am ET
This webinar will examine the options available to migrate from VMware to cloud native services on AWS with Cognizant. Many enterprises are dealing with the end of perpetual licensing for VMware and the challenges incumbent in migrating VMware workloads to cloud native services, such as:
1. Licensing Costs – Windows Server and storage costs are among the top cost issues incurred in a potential migration 2. Lack of AWS cloud native operational skills within the enterprise 3. Lack of budget and time to migrate existing VMware workloads.
As an IT Professional evaluating the impact of new VMware licensing terms, you face important decisions regarding future operations and potential migration to AWS cloud-native services. This session addresses cost effective strategies and tools that help reduce the cost and timeline of a cloud native migration.
Cognizant works with clients with complex enterprise IT workloads to modernize and develop a cost-effective migration strategy and roadmap.
