Migrating From

We'll show you exactly what moving to AWS
looks like for your business, before you

Does This Sound Familiar?
Are your servers approaching end of life with no clear replacement plan?
Are maintenance and licensing costs eating into the budget that should be funding growth?
Is your IT team spending more time keeping legacy systems running
than driving the business forward?
You know the cloud is the right move.
But when your board asks for a business case, no one has the data to build one. That's where we come in.
Before a single server is touched, we analyse your actual environment and produce a data-backed business case
using the AWS Optimisation and Licensing Assessment framework (OLA).
Not industry averages. Not generic calculators.
Your infrastructure. Your data. Your plan.
What The Assessment Covers
Deployment Model
Right-sized instance recommendations based on actual usage, not
vendor defaults.
Licensing Review
Microsoft and third-party licensing positions, BYOL eligibility and
savings opportunities.
Cost Projection
A like-for-like and optimised cost comparison, with honest caveats and
assumptions included.
Every assessment concludes with a phased migration roadmap,
prioritised by complexity, dependency and business impact.
Your Roadmap To Hassle-Free AWS
Three steps. No surprises.

Let us show you what it will cost to operate your servers in AWS.
In Case You've Still Got Questions
Can Microsoft workloads run on AWS?
Yes, Microsoft workloads run on AWS. AWS has supported Windows Server, SQL Server, Active Directory, and .NET applications for over 12 years.
You keep your existing Microsoft licences and applications whilst gaining AWS's infrastructure benefits.
Your Windows environment doesn't need rebuilding - it runs natively on AWS.
Is AWS more secure than on-premises infrastructure?
AWS provides enterprise-grade security that most SMBs cannot replicate on-premises: 24/7 threat monitoring, automated security patching, data encryption, and compliance with ISO 27001, ISO 27017, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2.
You maintain complete control over who accesses your data whilst gaining infrastructure security that's independently verified and continuously monitored.
How long does Windows Server migration to AWS take?
A Windows Server migration to AWS typically takes 8-16 weeks for SMB environments. Your timeline depends on infrastructure complexity and how many workloads you're moving.
Phased migrations let you move incrementally whilst maintaining business continuity - you're never migrating everything at once.
Your personalised Migration Assessment includes a specific timeline for your situation.
Will a migration to AWS disrupt business operations?
A migration to AWS will not disrupt business operations when properly planned. Migrations run during scheduled maintenance windows with comprehensive testing before cutover.
Most businesses report zero customer-facing disruption because you're moving workloads in controlled phases rather than all at once.
If something doesn't go to plan, rollback procedures protect your operations.
What is included in an AWS Migration Assessment?
An AWS Migration Assessment analyses your actual Windows environment - current servers, licensing entitlements, usage patterns, and application dependencies.
You receive exact AWS cost projections, expected performance improvements, security enhancements, and a phased migration roadmap.
The assessment is complimentary and includes no obligation to proceed.
Do Microsoft licences work on AWS?
Microsoft licences work on AWS through Licence Mobility with Software Assurance or by purchasing licences directly through AWS.
You can bring existing licences or acquire new ones depending on what's most cost-effective.
Your Migration Assessment identifies which licensing approach saves you the most money for your specific situation.
What performance improvements does AWS provide for Windows workloads?
AWS typically provides 2x performance improvement for Windows workloads compared to ageing on-premises servers.
You gain instant scalability for peak demands without over provisioning for average loads. Specific improvements depend on your current infrastructure age and configuration.
Your Migration Assessment includes performance projections for your actual workloads.
What support is available after migrating to AWS?
After migrating to AWS, our Managed Cloud Services provide 24/7 monitoring, security management, proactive issue resolution, cost optimisation, and disaster recovery.
Your AWS environment receives continuous maintenance and compliance management so your technical team can focus on business priorities rather than infrastructure maintenance.
Support includes guaranteed uptime and response times backed by an SLA.
When should a business migrate Windows workloads to AWS?
A business should migrate Windows workloads to AWS when infrastructure costs or constraints limit growth.
Common indicators include over provisioned hardware you're paying for but not fully using, approaching Windows Server end-of-support deadlines, difficulty scaling for peak demands, or your technical team spending more time on maintenance than innovation.
An AWS Migration Assessment determines where you'd benefit most.
What does a Windows migration to AWS cost?
Windows migration to AWS costs vary by environment, but most SMBs see 30-50% infrastructure cost reduction within the first year.
Exact costs depend on your number of servers, workload complexity, and current licensing.
An AWS Migration Assessment analyses your specific environment and provides board-ready projections before you commit to anything.
