As companies navigate their transition to cloud, one of the biggest hurdles is the lack of insight for making informed decisions: how long will it take, how much will it cost, and where to begin. Concierto, Trianz’s hyper-automated software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, is at the heart of helping organizations accelerate their cloud journey by combining migration and modernization into a single, seamless journey — maximizing Amazon Web Services (AWS) value from day one.
Enterprises are eager to capitalize on AWS cloud advantages, including greater agility and scalability, lower operating costs, improved resilience, and accelerated innovation. VMware shops, in particular, see cloud as a means to shore up the limitations of on-premises infrastructure while addressing the uncertainties created by Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware — among them, higher licensing costs, as well as total cost of ownership (TCO) of traditional VMware environments. Rapid adoption of multi-cloud strategies introduces additional challenges, highlighting the need for unified management across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises environments.
VMware users can benefit from a holistic migration and modernization journey to eliminate complexity while laying out a seamless transition path that preserves the VMware environment and capitalizes on AWS cloud benefits. In this scenario, VMware users can continue to use familiar tools and processes during and after migration, minimizing disruption and reducing additional training needs.
“Creating a seamless experience means less disruption to business operations while ensuring that all stakeholders — both business and technical — are getting full visibility,” says Seshi Vanguru, chief revenue officer (CRO) at Trianz.
The Trianz Concierto/AWS advantage
Trianz is the right partner to help enterprises optimize existing VMware investments with a holistic cloud migration and modernization strategy built on the AWS ecosystem, offering multiple options, including Elastic VMware Service (EVS). Trianz’s Concierto platform and supporting full-spectrum Migrate-Manage-Maximize methodology starts with agentless discovery capabilities, which connect with existing VMware environments to identify all applications, dependencies, and infrastructure components. As part of this phase, Concierto also generates a tailored business case factoring in current licensing models, infrastructure depreciation, and available AWS funding — helping clients define a financially viable migration strategy with measurable return on investment (ROI) — and then execute it with automated speed and precision.
The Manage module focuses on operational continuity postmigration, offering single-pane visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This ensures that clients that are concerned about post-migration stability have a trusted operational model in place. FinOps capabilities — including cloud spend planning, comparative analytics, and budget forecasting — constitute the Maximize stage of the methodology, ensuring optimization of workloads and IT spend.
With its SaaS approach and more than 600 out-of-the-box, zero-code automations and standardized processes, Concierto eliminates the need for custom coding and accelerates migrations by as much as 200%. Additionally, Trianz and AWS are jointly creating funding and business models that offset licensing and migration costs — making the transition not only feasible but also financially advantageous. “No one is in control of business demands today or tomorrow,” Vanguru says. “The more customers understand what they can do and how to optimize costs, the better they can define how VMware and AWS coexist in a single environment and take advantage of the larger ecosystem available to them.”
Thanks to the long-standing collaboration of Trianz and AWS, Concierto offers deep integration with AWS’s 200+ services and is available in the AWS Marketplace with one-click deployment. With EVS compatibility and a focus on AWS-optimized outcomes, Concierto and Trianz take customers on an end-to-end AWS migration-to-modernization journey — aligned with AWS best practices — that best positions them for growth.
