AWS Optimization And Licensing Assessment

Reduce your Microsoft licensing costs by 20% when migrating to AWS

Overview

Analyze your Microsoft and MS SQL licensing to make optimal use of your existing licenses and realize savings opportunities when migrating to AWS. Oblivion utilizes the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) to create the ideal license strategy for your workloads on AWS:

  1. Improve agility by exploring and using different licensing scenarios
  2. Reduce license costs and improve cost control
  3. Rightsize resources by discovering and forecasting actual workloads

 

By assessing the consumption cost and provisioning of your Microsoft workloads using the AWS OLA, you can more accurately scope how to optimize them on the cloud. Analysis of the data gathered by the AWS OLA helps you more effectively model costs and determine the best business optimization scenarios to fuel sustained growth.

To support this transition, Oblivion can offer you this assessment free of charge. Contact us to learn more about this process.
