11:59 / Rapid Migration

Cloud · Migration

Move to AWS without disrupting the work.

Physical, virtual and cloud workloads moved to AWS with automated replication and planned cutovers, including VMware estates, with no code changes.

Short answer: Rapid Migration moves physical, virtual and cloud environments to AWS using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), an automated lift-and-shift tool with continuous replication, so cutovers are planned and disruption is kept to a minimum.

VMware workloads move without rewriting or re-architecting applications. You end with a tested AWS environment built to Well-Architected best practices, documentation, training and a roadmap for what to modernize next.

Leaving VMware

A lower-risk path off VMware

Licensing changes have many organizations re-examining VMware. Moving to AWS removes VMware licensing, reduces technical debt and opens up managed and AI services, without rebuilding your applications first.

  • No code changes. Workloads are replicated and moved as they are; modernization can come later, at your pace.
  • A managed migration plan. Every workload is inventoried, grouped by dependency and moved in planned waves.
  • Automated cutovers. Real-time replication keeps the copy current until the planned cutover.
  • AWS-certified team. AWS-certified professionals at every step, with AWS Well-Architected practices built into the documentation and handoff.

How it works

From inventory to a tested AWS environment

  1. Assess

    Inventory every workload, its dependencies and what it costs to keep.

  2. Plan the waves

    Group workloads by dependency and decide the order, starting where savings are highest and risk is lowest.

  3. Replicate and cut over

    AWS Application Migration Service replicates workloads in real time; cutovers happen on a planned schedule.

  4. Test and hand over

    A production-ready environment, tested, with documentation, hands-on training and full knowledge transfer.

What you get

Common questions

What buyers ask before they call

Do we need to rewrite our applications?

No. Rapid Migration is a lift-and-shift approach; applications move as they are. Modernizing them is a separate, optional step.

How long does a migration take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the estate. Scoping produces a wave plan and a fixed-fee quote before any work begins.

Will there be downtime?

Workloads replicate continuously, and cutovers are scheduled with you to keep disruption to a minimum.

Who runs the environment afterward?

Your team, with documentation and training from us, or 11:59 under a managed services agreement.

How do California agencies contract for this?

Through CMAS 3-24-01-1044 or the TDDC MSA #5-22-70-25-189, as a SOW under an existing agreement.

Plan the move before the renewal does it for you.

A scoping call inventories your estate and ends with a wave plan and a fixed-fee quote.
