Migrate your VMware data centres to AWS
We bring more to every cloud migration
Migrate your on-premises VMware environments to AWS with Slalom
With the Broadcom acquisition of VMware, customers are expected to see a 2x to 10x cost increase when renewing and expanding their existing VMware environments.
You need a partner to support you as you navigate these changes. AWS and Slalom are here to help. Slalom has a proven approach used to successfully complete enterprise-scale data centre migrations.
Our migration approach

We help customers understand the business case for transformation with the options and benefits of AWS accelerated migration, modernisation, and how it will benefit their business.
Mobilise
Our experienced consultants familiarise the customer with migrating and modernising workloads, and gain experience through mobilisation.
Migrate
We work jointly with AWS to accelerate our customer’s migration at scale and get them to a modernised operation quickly and cost-effectively.
Lift-and-Shift migration to AWS
A large multi-national contract food service company engaged Slalom to help migrate their major production workloads running on VMware as well as supporting infrastructure from their on-prem data centres into AWS.
The Slalom team worked closely with our client's infrastructure and application teams to deliver a lift-and-shift migration. This required a discovery phase to collect compute, storage, and network information, several app owner interviews to determine dependencies and requirements for the applications and partnering with the client to support several weekend migration waves. An AWS supported replication tool was leveraged to prepare for and implement the migration.
As a result, in 7 months we were able to migrate over 700 servers and multiple revenue-sensitive workloads into AWS with minimal service disruption, identified over 100 servers to decommission, and provided significant cost savings associated with licensing by leveraging dedicated hosts for SQL Server Enterprise.
Get started with a VMware Migration pre-assessment workshop
Slalom can help customers navigate VMware's new subscription licensing models and the end of perpetual licensing sales by breaking down the increased cost and explaining why a move to AWS can be beneficial.
Workshop Objectives:
- Cost Assessment from perpetual to subscription-based licensing
- What to expect from a cost breakdown
- Why a move to AWS could be the right decision
