What customers have told us:
Data center migrations can involve thousands of servers
Large-scale server migration is a long and complex project with significant manual
labor
Less transparency onto migration process is challenging
Difficulty of testing server migrations iteratively makes them less confident about
migration process
Long server downtime at cutover incurs additional business loss

Key benefits of AWS Server Migration Service
Automates an incremental replication of live server
volumes to AWS
Orchestrate large-scale migrations, and track the
progress easily
Perform migrations faster while minimizing network
bandwidth
Migrate servers in a cost effective manner
Minimize server downtime at cutover
Easy to get started

AWS Server Migration Service Overview
• Support VMware VMs migration with the initial release. (supports for other hypervisors coming soon)
• Agentless VM migration
• Capture incremental change made to on-premises VMs and automatically transfer to AWS
• Migrate a group of VMs simultaneously and orchestrates multiple migrations
• AWS Management Console and API/CLI access
• Launch EC2 instances from Amazon Machine Images (AMI)

How to get started with AWS Server Migration Service
1. Deploy the AWS Connector (standalone VM) on VMware vCenter
2. Import vCenter VM inventory into the AWS Management Console
3. Choose VMs you want to migrate to AWS in the console
4. Configure replication for selected group of VMs (initial replication time,
replication interval, license type)
5. Start replication and track the progress
6. For each VM, you will see the list of AMIs created at each replication interval

Key features of AWS Server Migration Service
• End-to-end automation of replication from on-premises server to AMI
• Create and manage a customized replication scheduled designed for large-scale
migrations and track the progress in the AWS Management Console
• Incremental replication of live server volumes between every 12-24 hours
• Secure transfer of replicated server volumes over TLS
• Import/delete server catalog in the AWS Management Console
• On-demand replication feature in addition to periodic incremental replication

Technip Datacenter Migration
A world leader in project management, engineering and construction for the energy industry (31,000 People - 45 Countries)
Need to proactively plan for expiring hardware – all global datacenters
Global security review found some level of security risks across all DMZ sites (50+ separate sites – 400+ servers)
Challenge: Non-standard configurations, difficult to diagnose, troubleshoot and manageObjective: Consolidate to 6-8 regional DMZs, increasing consistency, security and managability.

Migration Solution
To design an Infrastructure as Code solution that would allow consistent deployment of DMZ resources globally in compliance with standards and security policies
• Worked with premiere AWS consultant (Flux7) to design solution based on best practices. Automation of VPC creation and basic connectivity in compliance with standards.
• “Scratch” build, AWS Import and 3rd party tools to move workloads to new environments.
• New service – Server Migration Service (SMS) – available end of October
• Testing showed a substantial decrease in complexity and increase in flexibility using SMS.

DMZ Project Today
• Globally, 400-500 servers with widely varying configurations will be migrated in
2017
• Specialized Technip team for service delivery globally
• Testing – SMS replication approach allows for easy “sandbox” setup
• Phased roll out – Phases not only regional…but systems within a region
• SMS will reduce man-hours to move workloads from VMware to AWS…20% to
40% reduction. Single AWS GUI simplifies the entire process.
