By combining AWS native migration services such as AWS Transform with Cognizant’s proven migration assets, industry aligned accelerators, proprietary IP, and deep cloud engineering expertise, Cognizant enables enterprises to migrate and modernize VMware environments on AWS Cloud, and implement zero trust security as part of a future ready cloud strategy tailored to their industry.</h5>

Disaster recovery and backup

AWS offers managed services like AWS Backup to implement backup and recovery strategies with minimal effort.

Flexibility

AWS infrastructure supports a wide range of services and architectures, providing flexibility to choose the best solutions for specific needs with seamless integration into AWS native services.

Infrastructure management

AWS offloads dedicated infrastructure management, allowing organizations to focus on their core business rather than managing hardware and patching hypervisors. This reduces the need to make further investments in physical hardware.

Innovation and modernization

AWS provides a pathway to modernize infrastructure by leveraging cloud-native services, reducing operational overhead and increasing efficiency.
