AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)

Accelerate Your Cloud Migration with Confidence

At CloudiQS, we help businesses unlock the full potential of AWS through the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP). A proven cloud migration framework designed to reduce risk, optimize costs, and accelerate the journey to AWS. Our experts guide you through a structured, phased approach to modernize your infrastructure and applications, ensuring a smooth and secure migration process

Our Approach

AWS MAP offers a comprehensive framework to streamline cloud adoption, providing technical expertise, best practices, and financial incentives to minimize migration complexity. Here’s why organizations trust AWS MAP:

Cost Efficiency: Access AWS funding and credits to offset migration costs, making the transition more affordable.
Proven Methodology: Leverage a well-architected, phased approach (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate) to minimize downtime and risk.
Optimized Performance: Modernize your infrastructure to achieve greater agility, scalability, and reliability.
Enhanced Security & Compliance: Implement AWS-native security services and governance controls to maintain regulatory compliance.

Use Cases

Data Center Exit for Financial Institutions

We executed a data center migration using AWS MAP’s three-phase approach: Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate & Modernize. During the Assess phase, we evaluated the existing infrastructure, identified dependencies, and estimated the total cost of ownership (TCO). In the Mobilize phase, we prepared the environment by implementing AWS Control Tower, IAM policies, and security baselines. During the Migrate & Modernize phase, we used AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to move the workloads with minimal downtime.

Application Modernization for Retail Companies

A retail company relied on legacy applications with monolithic architectures, making it difficult to scale and add new features. The company wanted to migrate and modernize its applications to leverage serverless and microservices architectures.

Database Migration for Healthcare Providers

Using AWS MAP, we planned and executed a database migration. During the Assess phase, we evaluated database dependencies and estimated the cost. In the Mobilize phase, we prepared the AWS environment by creating Amazon RDS instances and implementing security controls. During the Migrate & Modernize phase, we used AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to replicate data with continuous updates, ensuring near-zero downtime.

Disaster Recovery (DR) Migration for Enterprises

We implemented a DR migration using AWS MAP. During the Assess phase, we analyzed their existing DR setup and identified critical systems for replication. In the Mobilize phase, we configured Amazon S3 for backups and AWS Backup for automated snapshot creation. During the Migrate & Modernize phase, we implemented cross-region replication, using AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) to replicate instances in real time.

Lift-and-Shift Migration for Media & Entertainment

Using AWS MAP, we performed a lift-and-shift migration. During the Assess phase, we analyzed the existing infrastructure and dependencies. In the Mobilize phase, we prepared the AWS environment by configuring Amazon EC2, Amazon EFS, and CloudFront for content delivery. During the Migrate & Modernize phase, we used AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) to rehost the application on AWS with minimal changes.

Procedure

Assessment Phase

We evaluate your current infrastructure, workloads, and dependencies to develop a migration readiness plan. This includes cloud readiness assessments, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, and identifying risks and compliance gaps.

Mobilize Phase

We build a detailed migration strategy and establish a secure AWS environment. This involves setting up an AWS Landing Zone, configuring networking and security with VPCs and Transit Gateways, and prioritizing applications for migration using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform or CloudFormation.

Migrate & Modernize Phase

We execute the migration in waves, ensuring minimal disruption and validating performance. We handle lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or refactoring of applications, perform database migration with AWS DMS, and implement post-migration performance and security validation.
