As a result of significant changes with VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC), notably Broadcom's acquisition, purchasing changes to the VMC offering, and Broadcom's move to a bundled and subscription-based licensing model, organizations face heightened challenges including increased license costs and more frequent audits. Caylent's VMC Catalyst helps businesses to navigate these complex changes towards a future of enhanced cost efficiency and infrastructure flexibility using AWS native services.

This catalyst streamlines the transition through a collaborative approach that includes a comprehensive assessment, AWS equivalence workshops, and service mapping to ensure critical VMware functionality is seamlessly replicated on AWS. Emphasizing skill enhancement for customers, the Catalyst focuses on transitioning from traditional operations to a more efficient, automated infrastructure management model, incorporating elements like autoscaling, VMware automation conversion to CloudFormation or Terraform, and managed services like RDS to reduce operational burden. By demonstrating essential operations such as lift-and-shift migrations, day 2 management, HA/DR implementations, and patch management within a workshop setting, Caylent ensures clients are well-equipped for the planning and execution of their first wave of migrations to AWS.
