VMWARE MODERNIZATION ON AWS

Traditional VMware environments can limit agility, increase costs, and create challenges in scalability and resilience. As cyber threats evolve and businesses demand faster innovation, staying locked into legacy infrastructure slows growth. ZainTECH’s VMware Modernization on AWS helps organizations transform their on-premises VMware workloads into the AWS Cloud. Whether through a lift-and-shift migration or a full modernization journey, our methodology leverages AWS native migration services and Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) to minimize disruption while unlocking cloud scalability, security, and innovation.
