How to get started with your Microsoft on AWS journey
Assess your existing Windows environment
ORBIT can help you assess your workload and its readiness for migration to the Cloud. During the assessment, we use various tools and frameworks such as the AWS Cloud Readiness Assessment (CRA) or the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA).
AWS OLA provides recommendations for instances that are optimally sized and optimized for licensing for your on-premises Windows workloads, including options for Reserved Instances, optimized processors, Dedicated Hosts, and Microsoft BYOL options.
Migrate to AWS
Customers who want to migrate Windows Server and SQL Server workloads with AWS can take advantage of AWS Windows migration programs.
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) for Windows provides services, best practices, and tools to help you save costs and accelerate your migration to AWS.
Optimise workloads
With the many built-in expense management tools in AWS, you can visualize, understand and manage your costs and usage on AWS over time to keep control of your expenses. You can also take advantage of various AWS pricing models, such as the Savings Plan. This flexible pricing model can help you reduce your bill by up to 72 % compared to On-Demand pricing in exchange for a commitment to regular usage.
Once you've moved your Windows workloads to AWS, you can continue to optimize costs, utilization, and licensing according to your business needs.

Why a cloud strategy with ORBIT? We felt the need to have something more than just a migration roadmap. We wanted to look at the cloud topic more globally, so that it was 'all of us' and not just IT's basis for application migrations.

IT Project Manager, Raiffeisenbank
The principle of infrastructure as code and the idea of end-to-end automation (CI/CD, DevOps) shorten and simplify the application deployment process. They guarantee that all our environments are identical, which makes subsequent management significantly easier.

Cloud services delivery manager, MONETA Money Bank
With the resulting solution we are able to easily and quickly identify resources that require attention and should be optimized. We also know their operating costs, so we can tell immediately what the percentage savings or additional costs will be.
