What we do on AWS
VMware and on-premise migration to AWS
The end of perpetual VMware licensing has forced a decision on thousands of businesses. For virtualized environments of roughly 20 VMs or more, we deliver a structured migration to AWS following the assess → mobilize → migrate approach, using:- AWS Application Migration Service for lift-and-shift rehosting of virtual machines- AWS Migration Hub for centralized migration tracking- AWS Application Discovery Service for assessment of your current environment- Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS as the destination compute and block storage layer Amazon FSx for Windows File Server for Windows file shares- AWS Backup for centralized, policy-based data protection
Managed AWS Services
Migration is day one. We run your AWS environment for the long haul: 24/7 monitoring and alerting with Amazon CloudWatch- Multi-account governance using AWS Organizations and AWS Control Tower- Identity and access management with AWS IAM and AWS IAM Identity Center- Cost visibility and optimization using AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets- Patching and operations automation with AWS Systems Manager- Backup and disaster recovery with AWS Backup and AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Delivered under the same OST helpdesk and managed services wrapper our customers have relied on for two decades.
Right-sized cloud for Medium to Enterprise workloads
Not everything needs re-architecting. We help businesses under 500 employees adopt AWS pragmatically:- Windows and Linux server workloads on Amazon EC2- Managed databases on Amazon RDS (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL)- File and object storage with Amazon S3, including lifecycle policies to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes for archive- Virtual desktops with Amazon WorkSpaces- Secure connectivity via AWS Site-to-Site VPN and AWS Direct Connect (where required)
Why we chose AWS- and what that partnership means for you
As a member of the AWS Partner Network on the Services Path, Open Source Tailors has invested in formal AWS training, certification, and joint business planning with AWS. Our engineers hold AWS Certification including AWS Certified Solutions Architect- Associate and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, and we maintain a joint go-to-market plan with AWS covering the migration, managed services, and customer enablement.
For our customers, the partnership means a few practical things:
- Access to AWS funding programs. Qualified migrations can be supported through the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), which offsets assessment, mobilization, and migration costs.
- Architecture reviewed against AWS best practices. We design using the AWS Well-Architected Framework- security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and operational excellence.
- A direct line into AWS. Registered opportunities give our customers visibility and support from AWS itself, not just from us.
- Help with Non-profit funding and PPA Burndown (for qualified customers)
The Partner big national firms can't be
AWS brings the world's broadest and most secure cloud platform. Open Source Tailors brings what a platform can't: honest, manufacturer-agnostic guidance, decades of relationships across healthcare, construction, education, banking, and public sector communities, and a team that shows up in person.
And because we also operate our own hosted private cloud, our AWS recommendation is never a foregone conclusion — when AWS is the answer, it's because it genuinely fits.
Our first public AWS migration stories are in the works — ask us for references in the meantime.
