Many challenges are associated with legacy data centers, like unplanned downtime, data loss, poor productivity, and more. The primary reason for these issues is hardware failure. Research from Kroll Ontrack revealed that 67% of businesses experience data loss due to hardware failure and cannot recover them completely, resulting in operational setbacks. Also, these monolithic architectures are not designed for the evolving futuristic technologies.
Migration to AWS cloud is the best alternative approach. Studies have shown that the market for cloud migration services will grow to $637.13 billion by 2029, achieving a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 24%. By transitioning to cloud platforms, businesses run their operations with more flexibility, agility, and scalability, efficiently and cost-effectively.
Businesses can seamlessly run their AWS operations without rewriting the existing codes.
AWS pay-as-you-go pricing significantly reduces the TCO (total cost of ownership).
Moving to the AWS cloud infrastructure elevates performance, scalability, and flexibility.
Mitigates unplanned downtime and improves disaster recovery plans.
The user-friendly interface of AWS enables businesses to manage a wide range of VMs easily.
A robust security posture prevents cyber threats and vulnerabilities, preventing non-compliance and data loss.
Lift-and-shift is an easy and budget-friendly way to leverage the benefits of moving to AWS cloud. Charon emulation solutions rehost the legacy application on AWS and create a bridge between the on-premises data center and cloud platform. They create a virtual environment on the legacy hardware on the AWS-hosted x86 system.
Cloud migration to AWS enables unmodified virtual machines (VMs) to operate with secure networking and streamlined management. It eliminates the need for obsolete hardware, significantly reducing maintenance and operational expenses while enhancing performance.
Are you struggling with legacy hardware issues & skyrocketing costs? Migrate to AWS Cloud with Stromasys and seamlessly run your critical operations without hassle.
To address legacy systems challenges, Join Stromasys and AWS experts to discuss lift and shift solution to the cloud with The Register.
Here is an example highlighting the working of Charon SSP on AWS cloud. Designed with Amazon AWS enhanced agility and Stromasys emulation solutions, this collaboration efficiently migrates mission-critical SPARC systems without changing the existing applications, database, and operating systems.
In the first phase of migration, a test bed was created on-premises to serve as a PoC (proof of concept) and staging setup using x86 VMware ESXi servers:
The customer can proceed with integration and performance testing once the entire ecosystem is migrated to the new VMware infrastructure.
The second phase of the migration project involves migrating VMware VMs (Virtual SPARC) from the on-premises server to AWS cloud.
