Realizing the Value of Microsoft Workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS)


ON-DEMAND WEBINAR SERIES



About the webinar series
Join this webinar series to learn how public sector organizations can realize improvements in performance, efficiency, and security by running your Microsoft workloads on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. On average, AWS customers generate $157,300 in value per 100 Windows users over five years—that’s $6.59M per organization. And they experience 98 percent less unplanned downtime on AWS and 31 percent higher internal customer satisfaction for Windows, according to the IDC whitepaper released in 2019. Register to get clarifications on the common misconceptions about Windows workloads and learn best practices for migrating and running Windows workloads on AWS. 

Learning objectives

  • What’s the best platform to run Microsoft workloads?
  • Is Microsoft less expensive than AWS to run Microsoft workloads?
  • How can I get the true total cost of ownership of Microsoft workloads?
  • What are the options to deploy Microsoft workloads on AWS?
  • Is there an “easy button” for me to quickly migrate Microsoft workloads to AWS?
  • What are the best practices for migrating SQL Server to AWS?


Available sessions:

Migration and Disaster Recovery Options of Microsoft (MSFT) Workloads

Discuss migration and disaster recovery (DR) options for applications on Windows deployed on premises or in another cloud. Dive deep into CloudEndure and learn how they make it simple for customers to configure and set up for migration and DR.

Speaker: Brad Webber, Specialty Solutions Architect for Microsoft, AWS


SQL Server Migration Strategies

Migrating SQL Server databases to the cloud is a critical part of a cloud journey and requires planning and architectural considerations. Discuss best practices and guidelines in migrating and/or architecting a hybrid SQL Server architecture on AWS. Compare and contrast various migration methods—including SQL export, backup, and restore—and using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). Walk away with guidance on how to migrate products that have approached their end of life, such as SQL Server 2008.

Speaker: Saqlain Tahir, Specialty Solutions Architect for Microsoft, AWS


Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Microsoft (MSFT) Workloads on AWS

Join this session to debunk many of the false claims about MSFT workloads on AWS. Learn about running MSFT workloads on AWS, the TCO of MSFT workloads on AWS, and cost savings from optimized environments on AWS. Discover more about TCO modeling and analysis with the Optimization and License Assessment (OLA) program and see how to get started with the OLA engagement.

Speaker: Cindy Dickson, Technical Business Development for Microsoft, AWS


Microsoft (MSFT) Workloads on AWS for Higher Education and K12 Institutions

Join this session to debunk many of the false claims about running MSFT workloads for education on AWS. Learn about how MSFT licensing works with the AWS platform and how to model true TCO of MSFT workloads on AWS and cost savings from optimized environments on AWS. Discover more about TCO modeling and analysis with Optimization and License Assessment (OLA) program and see how to get started with the OLA engagement.
