RiverMeadow Partners with AWS Transform

RiverMeadow Software, a prominent name in workload mobility and modernization, has recently taken a significant step forward in cloud migration support by announcing its integration with AWS Transform. This advanced capability enables organizations to harness the power of AI-driven migration planning from AWS Transform in conjunction with RiverMeadow's automated workload modernization solutions.

Understanding the Partnership

The collaboration between RiverMeadow and AWS Transform offers enterprises a comprehensive modernization framework that begins with an AI-based assessment and planning stage. This approach culminates in the automated migration, optimization, and overall modernization of workloads residing on Amazon Web Services (AWS). As businesses strive to accelerate their cloud adoption, many still depend on conventional Lift and Shift migration methodologies. While these approaches enable rapid relocation of workloads to AWS, they often neglect the necessary modernization. This oversight can lead to outdated operating systems, technical debt, and a need for costly remediation post-migration. RiverMeadow's Lift and Optimize methodology aims to rectify this by enabling modernization during the migration process itself.

Modernization Features During Migration

RiverMeadow's offerings include several key modernization features:

• - Windows Server and Linux Operating System Modernization: Transitioning to the latest versions to enhance performance and security.
• - Microsoft SQL Server Modernization: Updating and optimizing database management systems for improved efficiency.
• - Rightsizing Compute and Storage Resources: Aligning infrastructure needs with actual usage to enhance cost-efficiency.
• - Security Hardening: Implementing automated security improvements to safeguard applications.
• - Zero-Downtime Workload Mobility: Facilitating seamless transitions with minimal disruptions.
• - Enterprise-Scale Migration Orchestration: Coordinating large-scale migrations effectively across various environments.
• - Comprehensive Support: Covering a range of AWS services including Amazon EC2, AWS Outposts, and Amazon EKS.

Benefits of Combining AWS and RiverMeadow Capabilities

This powerful partnership effectively shortens the timeline for migration activities while minimizing risks. The integration results in improved operational efficiency through workload optimization, helping businesses reduce technical debt before their workloads arrive in AWS.

Jim Jordan, CEO of RiverMeadow Software, emphasizes the transformative role of artificial intelligence in the modernization process. He states, “AWS Transform helps customers determine the best course of action for each workload. RiverMeadow automates how it happens. Together, we enable organizations to modernize while they migrate.”

Essentially, this collaboration ensures that cloud migration creates tangible business value, rather than just relocating existing technical challenges. By utilizing the strengths of both AWS Transform and RiverMeadow’s Lift and Optimize platform, customers can expect to deploy modernized workloads that are secure and production-ready from day one.

AWS Funding Benefits for Migration

AWS is also offering several funding opportunities for customers engaged in migration assessments, including:

• - AWS-funded RiverMeadow software licensing for qualified organizations.
• - Access to AWS-funded migration services which further enhance the support offered to customers.
• - Additional stackable AWS migration funding programs, along with preservation opportunities of AWS MAP funding for ongoing modernization initiatives.
