Phase 1

Assessment

Our comprehensive assessment phase lays the foundation for migration success. We conduct a detailed analysis of your Azure environment, evaluate workloads, and set performance metrics to create an actionable migration roadmap. Using advanced discovery tools, we map your Azure services to AWS equivalents and identify optimization opportunities.

Our planning also includes in-depth compatibility analysis, security evaluations, and application dependency mapping. These activities inform detailed cost projections, ROI analysis, and licensing reviews that reveal the financial benefits of migration. Clearly established KPIs guide migration success and provide risk mitigation to ensure business continuity throughout the process.

Phase 2

Execution

Mission's proven migration methodology creates a smooth transition of your Azure workloads to AWS. Our experts are skilled in rehosting, replatforming, and refactoring, and are familiar with the challenges that make each migration unique. Throughout the process, we implement robust testing and validation to ensure data integrity and application functionality.

When it's time to execute, we'll migrate your Azure workloads with minimal downtime. Our approach leverages AWS' migration best practices and specialized tools like AWS Migration Hub and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). We perform pilot migrations to identify and mitigate potential issues, and then execute the full migration with careful planning to maintain continuous operations throughout the transition.

Phase 3

Optimization

Post-migration optimization unlocks the full potential of AWS' cloud-native architecture. We are able to right-size resources, implement auto-scaling, and optimize performance for cost savings and operational improvements. For Azure SQL workloads, we can provide a clear path to Amazon Aurora or other AWS database services, reducing licensing costs while improving performance.

Technical teams will have access to our expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), AWS CloudFormation, and comprehensive monitoring with CloudWatch. This optimization approach transforms your Azure environment into a strategic asset that scales dynamically while reducing operational costs and technical debt.

Why Migrate to AWS

  • Enhanced Performance

    AWS EC2 instances offer flexible computing power designed specifically for your applications, delivering superior performance compared to Azure's VM-based services. With specialized compute options like Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, you can significantly reduce costs for fault-tolerant workloads. Mission helps you leverage AWS' compute advantages to improve application responsiveness while optimizing resource utilization and costs.

  • Expanded Storage Options

    AWS provides diverse and cost-effective storage solutions. Amazon S3 delivers unmatched scalability, availability, and durability, while specialized options like Amazon EBS and Glacier address specific performance and archival needs. Mission's storage optimization expertise ensures you select and configure the right AWS storage services for your specific workload requirements, balancing performance and cost.

  • Price Transparency

    AWS provides superior visibility into your cloud spending with tools like AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets. This transparency enables data-driven decisions regarding resource allocation and strategic investments. From there, Mission's experts can help you implement billing strategies that align cloud costs with business initiatives. Confidently plan for growth, respond to changing market conditions, and justify future spend with accurate forecasting.

  • Analytics & AI Capabilites

    AWS delivers industry-leading data analytics, AI, and machine learning capabilities. Organizations migrating to AWS gain access to a comprehensive suite of AI and analytics tools that drive innovation and competitive advantage. Leverage powerful native tools that streamline the modernization process, allowing your organization to evolve at your own pace while maximizing the value of existing investments.
