Discover, plan, convert networks, and migrate servers — all orchestrated by AI agents that reason, adapt, and execute. Available at no cost to AWS customers.
Thousands of VMs, complex network dependencies, tight timelines. Manual migration doesn't scale.
VMware licensing changes are driving costs up. Organizations need to move fast to avoid escalating fees while maintaining operational continuity.
Applications span dozens of VMs with hidden network dependencies. Missing one connection during migration means downtime and broken services.
Translating VMware vSwitches, VLANs, and NSX configurations into VPCs, subnets, and security groups manually takes weeks per environment.
Deciding which servers to migrate together, in what order, and when — requires deep knowledge of application relationships that's rarely documented.
Six phases, fully orchestrated by AI — from discovery to cutover.
Translates vSwitches, VLANs, and NSX configurations into VPCs, subnets, security groups, and Transit Gateway. Generates IaC templates ready to deploy.
MGN Connector installs lightweight agents on source servers. Block-level replication streams data to staging EBS volumes in your target AWS account. Free for 90 days per server.
Launch non-disruptive test instances to validate before cutover. When ready, perform final cutover — MGN handles the switchover. Your servers now run natively on EC2 with full AWS integration.
The agent converts your VMware network topology into AWS VPC architecture — choose your model.
Hub & Spoke: Transit Gateway connects all spoke VPCs. Cross-VPC traffic routes through an Inspection VPC for firewall analysis. Includes dedicated Inbound and Outbound VPCs for internet traffic.
Pick your server count, hit Start, and watch the time difference unfold.
Assumes 60% reduction in manual effort and 40% faster execution with AWS Transform (reported by partners). Adjust weeks to match your environment.
The AWS Transform VMware agent itself is free. But migration uses AWS infrastructure that has standard charges. Here's the full picture.
During migration, MGN spins up temporary replication servers in a staging area subnet. Each source server gets a lightweight EC2 instance (default t3.small) and EBS volumes matching your source disks. These run only during active replication and are automatically cleaned up after cutover. For high-IOPS workloads, you may need larger staging instances — run storage benchmarking first to estimate costs.
| Component | When you're charged |
|---|---|
| Replication server (EC2) | During active replication only |
| Staging EBS volumes | During active replication only |
| Test instances | When you launch test instances for validation |
| Cutover instances | From cutover onward — these become your production servers |
| Snapshots | EBS snapshots retained for point-in-time recovery |
