Identifying how much compute you have, how it’s used, and the financial benefits of migrating to the cloud can be complex due to the sheer amount of discovery and analysis involved. TSO Logic’s powerful decision-making platform analyzes data from on-premises compute and applies algorithms to automatically determine the best instance size and configurations along with their associated costs on AWS.
Don’t miss this webinar with AWS to learn how even efficient data center environments, like Morningstar’s, can realize savings, while simplifying and fast tracking a path to AWS. Gain insight into industry benchmarks on how the cost effectiveness of cloud changes based on your on-premises utilization rates, and learn how to compare your environment to best-practice benchmarks.
Join us to Learn:
- How you can discover and profile your current compute capacity to gain insight on not only how it’s used but what the forecast of your run rate would be in AWS.
- How to account for overprovisioned resources and diverse generations of hardware when planning your migration.
- How to remove manual tasks and spreadsheet guesswork. Simplify migration planning.

Solution Brief: Morningstar
Global fin
a
nci al ser vi ces or ganization
leverages analytics platform to build
business case for migration
Overview
Morningstar, a global fin
a
nci al ser vi ces
organization with operations in 27
countries, had an urgent need to evaluate
its options: move to a new co-location
data center or migrate to cloud? With
two of its worldwide data center contracts
soon to expire, the company was looking
for the most effici ent and economi cal wa y
forward —and its IT managers needed
to do it fast. To fast track the process, AWS
recommended that Morningstar call on
TSO Logic.
Challenge
Is it more economical to run on
premises or in cloud? With multiple
data centers, thousands of OS instances,
and terabytes of storage all running on
different generations of hardware and
supporting different applications it’s
hard to get the right answer. In order to
maximize cost effici enci es, rightsizing
between on-premise and cloud instances
and factoring in differences between
hardware generations and usage
patterns have to be reconciled. With
so many variables to consider and so
much data to crunch, it’s not possible
to effectively evaluate an environment
using static tools like Excel.
Solution
To get answers, Morningstar opted to
leverage TSO Logic’s powerful decision-
making engine, TSO Match As-a-Service.
Focusing on compute usage, utilization,
instance sizing, and economic analysis,
the platform applies fin
e
- gr ained,
algorithmic analysis to thousands of
ingested data points to deliver accurate
results. The solution fin
d
s the best
instance size fitand pr ici ng mo del fr om
the AWScatalog, compares cloud vs.
on-premise costs, and delivers a detailed
ROI analysis –all in a dynamic platform
that continually updates as usage pattern
and needs change. And with no agents
to install and frictionless data ingestion,
TSO Match is easy to implement for
immediate action.
Results
The TSO Logic platform showed the
current costs for running Morningstar’s
instances and identifie
d
the best -fit
instance sizes to support the company’s
workloads. The solution quickly
demonstrated the potential for signific
a
nt
cost reductions, and showed that a vast
majority of their instances would cost 30
percent less if operated in cloud. We fast
tracked the process of moving just the
right applications to AWS and helped
Morningstar plan for migrations that will
enable the company to realize major cost

enci es ye ar after year.
“Using the TSO Logic platform we were
able to quicky identify what we had and
what it would cost to move to AWS,” said
Daniel Huntley from Morningstar. “They
really took the guesswork out of the
process and presented us a clean view
from across our envrionments,” he added.
