About
This webinar will examine the options available to migrate from VMware to cloud native services on AWS. Many enterprises are dealing with the end of perpetual licensing for VMware and the challenges incumbent in migrating VMware workloads to cloud native services, which include the following:

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.

Attendance of this webinar should be mandatory for any IT Professional who is considering the impact of the new VMware licensing terms on future operations, the costs and technical challenges of migrating VMware workloads to AWS cloud native services and the tools and cloud factory processes that can be utilized to reduce the cost and timeline of a cloud native migration.

Based on our significant migration experiences with other Customers, we will provide thought leadership and the lessons learned in terms of creating a viable and economical Migration Plan for VMware workloads to AWS cloud native services. We will also examine the challenges presented by these migration efforts and provide examples of the various migration approaches that can be considered.
