Palo Alto, California- January 29, 2025 – CloudSphere, a leading IT visibility technology company, announced today that it has signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS), with plans to help organizations accelerate discovery of their IT estates for migrations, hybrid cloud visibility, application service mapping, and PaaS modernization.
Working with the AWS VMware Migration Accelerator, CloudSphere aims to address critical challenges faced by enterprise leaders in cloud migration and modernization across hybrid architecture and on-premises environments. CloudSphere’s Knowledge Graph and AWS provide the best path for VMware migrations and hybrid application interdependencies. This business service context graphing facilitates prioritization of migration move groups based on business criticality.
CloudSphere’s SaaS platform tackles key obstacles such as obtaining accurate total cost of ownership (TCO) for migration and graphing highly complex service paths between proprietary and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications for modernization efforts. CloudSphere’s discovery of applications and infrastructure spans across a wide range of workloads including VMware, Nutanix, Microsoft, Linux, SAP, Oracle, UNIX and more.
The collaboration addresses the urgent need to reduce the complexity of VMware migrations and cloud adoption by offering a platform that accelerates discovery and provides insights. Key elements of the SCA include:
- Collaboration on VMware migration pathways and total cost of ownership
- Application service path graphing and migration move group recommendations
- AWS PaaS recommendations for modernization
John Foster, CEO of CloudSphere, emphasized the significance of this collaboration: “As organizations face unprecedented challenges to innovation, our collaboration with AWS represents a significant milestone in helping enterprise companies gain rapid visibility into their on-premises and hybrid environments to migrate and enable the adoption of AWS services to speed innovation.”
This collaboration underscores the value of CloudSphere and AWS to provide flexibility and unlock greater business value for customers across industries. For more information, please visit https://cloudsphere.com/
