Powering Transformation: How Vector Limited Energized Savings with AWS
Vector Limited, a prominent electricity and gas distributor in New Zealand, faced a significant challenge: escalating VMware licensing costs as they planned their migration to AWS native services. The urgency to complete this transition before the renewal of these expensive licenses created a pressing deadline, placing immense pressure on their infrastructure team. Despite their proficiency in both VMware and AWS, the complexity of the task demanded an innovative solution.
To address this challenge, Vector partnered with Slalom Consulting, who introduced AWS Transform for VMware. This cutting-edge service, though in its public preview phase, offered advanced features such as AI-enhanced discovery, wave planning, and migration capabilities. With these tools and a dedicated migration team, Vector navigated the intricate transition more efficiently, positioning AWS as their optimal platform.
The results were outstanding. Vector's pilot migration was completed 34% faster than traditional methods, allowing them to bypass the costly renewal of VMware licenses. This strategic move resulted in a 35% savings over five years, alongside reduced operational costs using AWS native services. The financial benefits provided Vector with the opportunity to reinvest in their next major project—a CRM transformation—further aligning with their strategic goals of innovation and sustainability.
Vector's journey underscores the transformative impact of strategically partnering with Slalom to manage complex migrations. This collaboration not only reduced expenses but also empowered Vector to focus on future technological advancements.
