AWS Virtual Machines

Move hosted servers and business applications into AWS virtual machines.

Infrastructure Shift helps organizations migrate servers and applications into Amazon EC2 with secure networking, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery and cost optimization.

AWS as a private cloud replacement

AWS EC2 can replace hosted servers, legacy private cloud infrastructure and aging on-premises virtual machines while giving businesses control over instance sizing, storage, backups and security.

Migration approach

The migration process evaluates server dependencies, application requirements, database needs, firewall rules, DNS, VPN connectivity, identity and recovery objectives.

What the migration includes

  • Server inventory and dependency mapping
  • AWS landing zone and VPC design
  • EC2 sizing, storage and backup planning
  • VPN, firewall and DNS migration support
  • CloudWatch monitoring and security baselines
  • Cutover, validation and documentation

Cost-aware architecture

Right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, storage tiers and monitoring help avoid replacing one expensive platform with another expensive cloud footprint.
