AWS recommends Concierto for Automated VMware to AWS Migrations

In recent times, the VMware ecosystem has undergone significant shifts, attributed to Broadcom's acquisition of VMware. These changes have presented substantial challenges for VMWare customers. Pricing model adjustments, product discontinuations, and revised package offerings have left many businesses uncertain about their cloud journey forward. Adding to the complexity, customers are given a tight window of 4 to 6 weeks to accept Broadcom's new terms and conditions before contract renewal, causing widespread chaos among customers.

Historically, VMware has been a pillar in virtualization and cloud computing. However, these strategic alterations have forced organizations to make tough decisions: either allocate more resources to IT budgets to accommodate the higher price for VMware Licenses and stay on-prem or invest in the cloud which is their eventual destination for scaling IT ops, gaining cost efficiency and harnessing AI for transforming their business. In this evolving landscape, AWS has emerged as the compelling cloud platform for targeting rapid transformations.

To help customers understand their current landscape, quickly explore options on AWS, migrate, and manage their hybrid cloud efficiently- AWS has offered various pathways and programs. AWS also recommends Concierto as the platform of choice for customers as they embark on this transition and for hybrid cloud ops.

To back up its outcome orientation- Concierto is priced based on VMs and applications migrated and not on a time and material or per-user license basis.

Comprehensive Day 2 Hybrid Cloud Operations Capability

Migrations from VMware to AWS have the potential to disrupt operations as the workforce managing on-prem is usually not trained or certified to manage the cloud. Concierto offers a seamless transition and extensive capability in managing day-to-day operations in the cloud. This includes provisioning, service management, special ops such as monitoring, health checks, security, event management, and de-commissioning. The best part is customers can manage their cloud environments and On-prem from a single pane of glass. Maintain high performance, uninterrupted and secure operations, and efficient resource management long after your migration from VMware is complete.

Advanced Observability, FinOps & Remediation Capabilities

Concierto provides sophisticated observability and FinOps capabilities, powered by AI-driven recommendations, to offer deep insights into service level agreements (SLAs), performance metrics, events, capacity utilization, and financials. Businesses can set granular accountability, budgets, thresholds, triggers, and tracking, AI capabilities in the platform automatically recommend optimization opportunities to help achieve greater visibility, financial control, and operational efficiency in their AWS environments.

This scalability ensures that all organizations can benefit from Concierto’s advanced capabilities, whether they are managing a few workloads or an entire enterprise IT infrastructure.

The day after Migrations is not easy, especially in the VMware context as the workforce that manages these on-prem environments may or may not be trained on managing the AWS cloud. Concierto is designed to facilitate quick learning, intuitive and easy adoption by teams accustomed to on-prem virtualized infrastructures. The platform’s user-friendly interface, in-built and external e-learning programs, and comprehensive support resources simplify the transition from traditional IT environments to modern cloud-based operations.
