Public sector organizations are under pressure to move away from aging data centers while maintaining security, resilience, and compliance. This blog post outlines how AWS supports public sector organizations on data center exit journeys - delivering cloud services that improve agility and reduce operational burden. Read the blog to explore common exit patterns and considerations, then reach out to USA Lenovo Authorized Reseller to discuss how these approaches can apply to your organization's environment.
What is the process for exiting a data center with AWS?
AWS follows a structured approach that includes four key phases: Assess, where we evaluate your current environment and assets; Mobilize, where we establish your AWS Cloud foundation and prepare your workforce; Migrate and modernize, where we execute the migration using specialized tools; and Decommission and operate, where we assist with the physical exit and provide ongoing support for cloud operations.
How does AWS support public sector organizations during migration?
AWS provides dedicated support through a specialized public sector team that understands government requirements. We help navigate complex regulations, offer flexible sale-leaseback terms, and provide comprehensive optimization strategies to reduce costs and maximize the value of existing assets during the migration process.
What challenges do organizations face when exiting data centers?
Organizations often face challenges such as difficulty in marketing and selling owned facilities, long-term leases or colocation agreements, legacy hardware with remaining book value, and the need for hardware refreshes during the migration period. AWS helps address these issues through tailored solutions and financial considerations.
