AWS Migration Hub
AWS
Migration Hub provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations across
multiple AWS and partner solutions. Using Migration Hub allows you to
choose the AWS and partner migration tools that best fit your needs, while
providing visibility into the status of migrations across your portfolio of
applications. Migration Hub also provides key metrics and progress for
individual applications, regardless of which tools are being used to migrate
them. For example, you might use AWS Database Migration Service, AWS Server
Migration Service, and partner migration tools such as ATADATA ATAmotion,
CloudEndure Live Migration, or RiverMeadow Server Migration Saas to migrate an
application comprised of a database, virtualized web servers, and a bare metal
server. Using Migration Hub, you can view the migration progress of all the
resources in the application. This allows you to quickly get progress updates
across all of your migrations, easily identify and troubleshoot any issues, and
reduce the overall time and effort spent on your migration projects.
AWS Application Discovery Service
AWS
Application Discovery Service helps enterprise customers
plan migration projects by gathering information about their on-premises data
centers.
Planning
data center migrations can involve thousands of workloads that are often deeply
interdependent. Server utilization data and dependency mapping are important
early first steps in the migration process. AWS Application Discovery Service
collects and presents configuration, usage, and behavior data from your servers
to help you better understand your workloads.
The
collected data is retained in encrypted format in an AWS Application Discovery
Service data store. You can export this data as a CSV file and use it to
estimate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of running on AWS and to plan your
migration to AWS. In addition, this data is also available in AWS Migration
Hub, where you can migrate the discovered servers and track their progress as
they get migrated to AWS.
AWS DMS – Database Migration Service
AWS Database
Migration Service helps you migrate databases to AWS easily and securely. The
source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing
downtime to applications that rely on the database. The AWS Database Migration
Service can migrate your data to and from most widely used commercial and
open-source databases. The service supports homogeneous migrations such as
Oracle to Oracle, as well as heterogeneous migrations between different database
platforms, such as Oracle to Amazon Aurora or Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL. It
also allows you to stream data to Amazon Redshift from any of the supported
sources including Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SAP ASE,
and SQL Server, enabling consolidation and easy analysis of data in the
petabyte-scale data warehouse. AWS Database Migration Service can also be used
for continuous data replication with high availability.
AWS SMS – Server Migration Service
AWS Server
Migration Service (SMS) is an agentless service which makes it easier and
faster for you to migrate thousands of on-premises
workloads to AWS. AWS SMS allows you to automate, schedule, and track
incremental replications of live server volumes, making it easier for you to
coordinate large-scale server migrations.
AWS Snowball
AWS Snowball
is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that
uses secure appliances to transfer large amounts of data into and out of AWS.
The use of Snowball addresses common challenges with large-scale data transfers
including high network costs, long transfer times, and security concerns.
Transferring data with Snowball is simple, fast, secure, and can be as little
as one-fifth the cost of high-speed Internet.
With
Snowball, you don’t need to write any code or purchase any hardware to transfer
your data. Simply create a job in the AWS Management Console and a Snowball
appliance will be automatically shipped to you. Once it arrives, attach the
appliance to your local network, download and run the Snowball client to
establish a connection, and then use the client to select the file directories
that you want to transfer to the appliance. The client will then encrypt and
transfer the files to the appliance at high speed. Once the transfer is
complete and the appliance is ready to be returned, the E Ink shipping label
will automatically update and you can track the job status using the Amazon
Simple Notification Service (SNS), text messages, or directly in the console.
Snowball
uses multiple layers of security designed to protect your data including
tamper-resistant enclosures, 256-bit encryption, and an industry-standard
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) designed to ensure both security and full chain
of custody of your data. Once the data transfer job has been processed and
verified, AWS performs a software erasure of the Snowball appliance.
AWS Snowball Edge
AWS Snowball
Edge is a data migration and edge computing device that comes in two options. Snowball Edge
Storage Optimized provides 100 TB of capacity and
24 vCPUs and is well suited for local storage
and large scale data transfer. Snowball Edge Compute Optimized provides 52 vCPUs and an optional GPU for use cases such as
advanced machine learning and full motion video analysis in disconnected
environments. Customers can use these two options for data collection, machine
learning and processing, and storage in environments with intermittent
connectivity (such as manufacturing, industrial, and transportation) or in
extremely remote locations (such as military or maritime operations) before
shipping it back to AWS. These devices may also be rack mounted and clustered
together to build larger, temporary installations.
Snowball
Edge supports specific Amazon EC2 instance types as well as AWS Lambda
functions, so customers may develop and test in AWS then deploy applications on
devices in remote locations to collect, pre-process, and return the data.
Common use cases include data migration, data transport, image collation, IoT
sensor stream capture, and machine learning.
AWS Snowmobile
AWS
Snowmobile is an exabyte-scale data transfer service used to move extremely
large amounts of data to AWS. You can transfer up to 100 PB per Snowmobile, a
45-foot long ruggedized shipping container, pulled by a semi-trailer truck.
Snowmobile makes it easy to move massive volumes of data to the cloud, including
video libraries, image repositories, or even a complete data center migration.
Transferring data with Snowmobile is secure, fast, and cost effective.
After an
initial assessment, a Snowmobile will be transported to your data center, and
AWS personnel will configure it for you so it can be accessed as a network
storage target. When your Snowmobile is on site, AWS personnel will work with
your team to connect a removable, high-speed network switch from the Snowmobile
to your local network. Then you can begin your high-speed data transfer from
any number of sources within your data center to the Snowmobile. After your
data is loaded, the Snowmobile is driven back to AWS where your data is
imported into Amazon S3 or S3 Glacier.
AWS
Snowmobile uses multiple layers of security designed to protect your data
including dedicated security personnel, GPS tracking, alarm monitoring, 24/7
video surveillance, and an optional escort security vehicle while in transit.
All data is encrypted with 256-bit encryption keys managed through AWS KMS and
designed to ensure both security and full chain of custody of your data.
AWS DataSync
AWS DataSync
is a data transfer service that makes it easy for you to automate moving data between on-premises storage and Amazon S3
or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). DataSync automatically handles many
of the tasks related to data transfers that can slow down migrations or burden
your IT operations, including running your own instances, handling encryption,
managing scripts, network optimization, and data integrity validation. You can
use DataSync to transfer data at speeds up to 10 times faster than open-source
tools. DataSync uses an on-premises software agent to connect to your existing
storage or file systems using the Network File System (NFS) protocol, so you
don’t have write scripts or modify your applications to work with AWS APIs. You
can use DataSync to copy data over AWS Direct Connect or internet links to AWS.
The service enables one-time data migrations, recurring data processing
workflows, and automated replication for data protection and recovery. Getting
started with DataSync is easy: Deploy the DataSync agent on premises, connect
it to a file system or storage array, select Amazon EFS or S3 as your AWS
storage, and start moving data. You pay only for the data you copy.
AWS Transfer for SFTP
AWS Transfer
for SFTP is a fully managed service that enables the
transfer of files directly into and out of Amazon S3 using the Secure
File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)—also known as Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer
Protocol. AWS helps you seamlessly migrate your file transfer workflows to AWS
Transfer for SFTP—by integrating with existing authentication systems, and
providing DNS routing with Amazon Route 53 —so nothing changes for your customers
and partners, or their applications. With your data in S3, you can use it with
AWS services for processing, analytics, machine learning, and archiving.
Getting started with AWS Transfer for SFTP (AWS SFTP) is easy; there is no
infrastructure to buy and setup.
