AWS Cloud Foundations & Migrations

With Caylent Accelerate™, you pay per successfully migrated and validated workload, not for time spent. Retired workloads are excluded from billing entirely. This removes the cost uncertainty that comes with traditional time-and-materials migrations.

A landing zone build establishes your AWS foundation: Control Tower, account structure, networking, security controls, and IaC. A full migration engagement builds on that foundation and executes the actual movement of workloads to AWS, either in a single phase or across sequential waves depending on environment size and complexity.

Yes. Caylent has executed cross-cloud migrations from both GCP and Azure to AWS, including environments with complex data warehouse dependencies and multi-cloud M&A consolidation scenarios.

Every migration engagement closes with full knowledge transfer, documented IaC, and operational runbooks, plus 30 days of CloudOps Core at no additional cost, so monitoring goes live before the project even closes.

From there, the environment can transition to the customer's internal team, to Caylent's Infrastructure and DevOps Modernization practice for further hardening, or continue on with Cloud Operations and Managed Services for ongoing managed coverage.

VMware licensing changes and datacenter contract renewals are among the most common forcing functions we see. Caylent Accelerate™ is built for exactly this motion: wave-based execution with defined cutover milestones so you hit your deadline without compressing quality.

These sit at different layers of the migration stack, and often work together rather than as alternatives:

• AWS MGN is the core replication engine: reliable server-level replication into EC2, but planning, testing, and validation are left to your team.
• AWS Transform for VMware adds orchestration on top of MGN for VMware-specific migrations: discovery, dependency mapping, and network conversion, with execution and validation still largely DIY.
• Caylent Accelerate is an end-to-end professional service built on Amazon Bedrock that automates validation, configuration, and Terraform-based IaC generation across the full migration journey (VMware, Azure, or GCP to AWS), with outcome-based pricing and a team accountable for delivery.

The right fit depends on how much of the planning, execution, and risk you want to own in-house versus hand off to a partner with built-in automation and expertise.
