Amazon Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)

Accelerate your Migrations with MAP

Achieve fast and seamless mass migration to AWS.

AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides support for enterprise customers who’d like to migrate their large workloads to AWS.

MAP features robust tools and resources that will allow for automation and acceleration of workload migrations allowing you to focus on your business needs and not your infrastructure!

What is MAP?

The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is a comprehensive and proven cloud migration program based upon AWS’s experience migrating thousands of enterprise customers to the cloud.

The MAP program includes assessment of your current workloads, estimating the monetary benefits of adopting AWS, building AWS competency, gaining experience through migrating pilot workloads, and providing funding to help de-risk large migrations.

How does MAP Work?

MAP follows a three-phase prescriptive methodology:

Assess

AWS specialists will assess your on-premises resources and create a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model for running workloads on the cloud.

Mobilize

Address gaps in your readiness that were uncovered during the initial assessment and focus on building the baseline solution.

Migrate & Modernize

Design, migrate, and validate your workloads and leverage AWS services to modernize your infrastructure.

AWS Cloud Migration Assessment

Start your migration journey off with effective planning with our AWS Cloud Migration Assessment. As an AWS Premier Partner, we’ll assess your organizational cloud readiness status, free of charge*.

The assessment will help our AWS consultants prepare a directional business case with costed next-step recommendations for cloud-native activities, like establishing an AWS Landing Zone, for moving to AWS.

Types of Migrations

There are six application migration strategies in AWS:

Rehosting (or lift and shift)

If an organization is looking to scale its migration quickly to meet a business case, then rehosting is the best strategy.

Replatforming

A few cloud (or other) optimizations are implemented in order to achieve some tangible benefit, but the core architecture of the application isn’t changed.

Repurchasing

When an application is moved to a different product, for example, moving a CMS to Drupal.

Re-architecting

Re-imagining how the application is architected and developed, for example, migrating from a monolithic architecture to a serverless architecture to boost agility or improve business continuity.

Retiring

An application is explicitly phased out when the capabilities it provides are not needed anymore or are now redundant.

Retaining

When you’re not quite ready to migrate your application at this stage.

Also known as Revisit, this strategy is followed when you do not want/need to migrate your application to the cloud, as it would not make sense, or you do not have all the needed factors.
