Migration and Modernization Blog



The article discusses how to enhance a Migration Evaluator business case using Storage Insights and a Storage Assessment, focusing on optimizing storage migration to AWS.

  • Migration Evaluator is a free guided migration assessment service that helps identify best-fit AWS server instances
  • Storage Assessment helps customers choose the right storage service by analyzing on-premises storage configurations
  • Storage Insights feature can identify servers with large storage volumes that might be better served by specialized storage services

Key benefits of using specialized storage services include:

  • No need to migrate entire servers
  • Intelligent storage tiering
  • Data compression and de-duplication
  • Configurable performance
  • Improved data durability
  • Pay only for used storage
