This document discusses system migration solutions for moving existing systems to the AWS cloud. It describes the speaker's experience migrating 100 VMs from an on-premise VMware environment to AWS. Several commercial migration solutions are presented, including CloudVelocity One Hybrid Cloud and Yuruware Bolt VTA, which aim to minimize downtime during migration. The document also covers using AWS VM Import/Export to import virtual machine images from VMware or Hyper-V directly into AWS as Amazon Machine Images.

“Anybody who wants to volunteer or
raise you hand?”

6. System Migration!
"System migration involves moving a set of instructions
or programs, e.g., PLC (programmable logic controller) programs,
from one platform to another, minimizing reengineering.“

7. Why migration solution is needed?
• To reduce time and cost versus manual migration
3/15/2014 7
• To verify if the existing system is able to run on cloud
• To migrate hundreds or thousands of servers into cloud

8. My case about migrating system
• About 100 VMs with 30
customers on VMware ESXi
• Windows OS, Linux
OS(Debian, RedHat)
• Mainly composed as 3 Tier
system
(WEB/AP/DB, WEB/DB, WEB,
HA Clusterig)
