Are you finding it challenging to plan your cloud migration without an understanding of the inner workings of your current IT environment?
CloudHealth Migration Assessment simplifies the process of migrating assets from your data centers to the AWS Cloud by analyzing usage and performance of on-premises workloads. CloudHealth then makes recommendations on instance types, region, reservations, and associated projected costs for those workloads.
Join the upcoming webinar with CloudHealth Technologies, Cox Automotive, and AWS to learn how Cox Automotive was able to efficiently model their workloads for migration and optimize their infrastructure once they were running on the cloud. Post migration, Cox was able to further leverage CloudHealth to automate programmatically and optimize cost and performance of AWS services including Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, and Amazon EBS.

24. Pre-migration Planning and Analysis Process
ï§ Which data centers?
ï§ Which solutions should be rehosted or replatformed?
ï§ What will they cost?
ï§ Where to migrate to?
ï§ Who will do the work?
25. Leveraging CloudHealth for Pre-migration Planning
and Analysis
ï§ Needed an agentless approach â migrating tens of thousands of VMs
across more than 50 different environments
ï§ CloudHealth Migration assessment helps determine what the cost for
Rehosted and Replatformed workloads to AWS would be
ï§ Help plan and budget for AWS costs
ï§ With many different constituents and stakeholders, provides a unified
approach to determine migration costs across all teams and departments
