AWS Cloud Migration Services
Right-sized migration strategy, funded execution, and zero-downtime delivery — for any workload, not just VMware. F9 Infotech plans and runs your migration using AWS's own methodology, so nothing is improvised.
Not every workload should move the same way
A generic "lift and shift everything" approach leaves savings and performance on the table. The right migration strategy depends on the workload — its dependencies, its lifecycle, and what you actually want it to become on AWS.
F9 Infotech assesses every workload in your portfolio individually and maps it to the right strategy — then executes using the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), which can fund a meaningful share of the migration itself.
The six ways we can move a workload to AWS
Also known as the "6 R's" — the strategies F9 Infotech evaluates for every workload in scope.
Lift and shift
Move the workload as-is onto AWS infrastructure — fastest path, minimal changes, ideal for time-sensitive exits.
Lift, tinker, and shift
Make targeted optimizations during the move — like swapping to a managed database — without a full rebuild.
Move to a new product
Replace the workload with a SaaS or AWS Marketplace alternative rather than migrating the existing stack.
Re-architect
Rebuild the application to be cloud-native — containers, serverless, microservices — for workloads that justify the investment.
Decommission
Turn off workloads that are no longer needed — often 10-20% of a legacy portfolio once properly assessed.
Revisit later
Keep certain workloads on-premises or in place for now, with a documented plan to reassess on your timeline.
Delivered through the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)
A proven, three-phase methodology developed by AWS — F9 Infotech executes each phase and helps you access available MAP funding along the way.
Assess
Portfolio discovery, dependency mapping, and a right-sized migration strategy per workload, with a business case for the move.
Typically 2–4 weeksMobilize
Landing zone deployment, team readiness, tooling setup, and a detailed migration plan and runbook.
Typically 4–8 weeksMigrate & Modernize
Workload-by-workload execution using AWS Application Migration Service, Database Migration Service, and related tooling — with validation at every step.
Scales with portfolio sizeMigrations can be partially funded through AWS MAP
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program can offset assessment, mobilization, and migration costs — commonly a meaningful share of eligible first-year AWS spend on migrated workloads. Funding is earned against documented milestones, not granted automatically, and current terms are set by AWS.
*Funding availability, eligibility, and amounts are determined by AWS and subject to change; F9 Infotech will confirm current MAP terms as part of your assessment.
Deliverables from every engagement
- Portfolio assessment — every workload mapped to a recommended migration strategy, with dependencies and risks documented.
- Business case & TCO analysis — a cost comparison justifying the migration and prioritizing sequencing.
- Migration & cutover runbooks — a detailed, workload-level execution plan with rollback procedures.
- MAP funding support — assistance identifying and applying for available AWS migration funding.
- Post-migration validation — performance, security, and cost checks once workloads land on AWS.
Migration expertise that isn't limited to one strategy
Some migration partners default to a single playbook regardless of workload. F9 Infotech's AWS-certified architects assess each workload independently — recommending rehost, replatform, refactor, or retirement based on what actually delivers value, not what's easiest to sell. That same team also designs the landing zone your workloads land in and stays engaged through resilience and FinOps once migration is complete — so the plan built in the Assess phase is the plan that's actually executed.
