Recent changes to VMWare licensing means that customers are experiencing a 3 to 11x increase in license renewal costs.

Mantel Group can help to modernise and migrate VMWare workloads to AWS, fully utilising AWS funding (subject to AWS approval) to offset planning, execution and future AWS run costs.

The offerings include:

• AWS Funding Qualification, and Migration Scoping workshop (30 to 60 mins)
• Move from VMware (on-prem or other cloud provider) directly to AWS services
• Move from VMware (VMware on AWS or other VMWare on cloud provider) directly to AWS services

Our approach

We use discovery stages to create a roadmap covering foundations, uplift, and build. An iterative approach may be taken to accelerate use case delivery while addressing other layers.

Free 30 minute workshop - we will conduct a workshop to qualify which funding programmes can be leveraged, and lead the next steps in processing the funding approval process

Plan it: Rapid Assessment. The Mantel Group team will conduct a cost and benefits analysis focused on your business context, and aligned to a personalised AWS migration plan. On the technical side, we'll create a fit-for-purpose, wave-based migration/modernisation plan, with relevant high-level, pattern- based designs. This includes the deployment of automated tooling at no cost to map information flows, dependencies and usage patterns.

Build it: Migration Readiness. The Mantel Group team will perform a platform build/uplift, with migration capability build (eg. migration patterns), and production pilot migrations.

Scale it: Migration at scale. Migration of workloads to production, leading and supporting cutover activities, upskilling teams, continuous uplift/optimisation.

Hypercare and/or Transition to DevOpsaaS. The Mantel Group team will assist with transition to operations/run including continuous optimisation and improvements plans to security, data, performance, DR and CI/CD.
