CloudChomp Announces VMC Deep Dive – Migration Planning Just Got Easier

CloudChomp, Inc., a leader in AWS cloud migration planning and discovery tools is putting more power into customers’ hands by allowing them to control how CC Analyzer configures their workloads on VMWare Cloud. VMC Deep Dive allows customers to cluster hosts, view storage options, and model storage in AWS S3 in the cloud, effectively lowering TCO quickly and efficiently.

The simplest migration from VMware Cloud to AWS is a VMC lift-and-shift. When customers make the decision to lift and shift, the financial and performance impact can be significant. With the limitations on TB per host on VMware Cloud on AWS, customers with large storage footprints may find they need more hosts to handle the storage when “lifting and shifting”. VMC Deep Dive allows customers to estimate their storage in AWS S3 to eliminate the need of paying for additional hosts in the cloud.

“The migration to VMware Cloud on AWS can be more challenging than it needs to be without what we call ‘deep dive’ tooling”, says David Pulaski, CEO of CloudChomp. “Not only can we produce a TCO and right-sized cost assessment for VMware to VMware Cloud on AWS in 24 hours, but we also provide simple tooling that puts financial and migration modeling in the hands of everyone involved in the project, from AWS, Advanced Consulting Partners, and Customers, providing shared access to data and modeling technology. Addressing storage issues requiring AWS S3 storage solutions or clustering your host by application or environment type can be done as a team at the click of a button, vs. modeling on complex spreadsheets that only one person understands.”

CC Analyzer is a collaborative, dynamic data warehouse and planning tool for re-hosting, re-platforming and re-architecting on premises assets to run on AWS.
