Fast-forward your database and analytics migrations with HAQM DMA

HAQM Database Migration Accelerator (HAQM DMA) helps you accelerate migrations to AWS Databases and Analytics services. HAQM DMA is comprised of migration domain experts including engineers, who can assist you with your migration strategy and planning to deploying your applications and databases to a production environment. HAQM DMA helps build a strong foundation for AWS Databases and Analytics service adoption, and acts as a force multiplier as part of your modernization strategy.

In this post, we discuss two features of HAQM DMA: Advisors and Migrations. If you qualify, then HAQM DMA offers Advisors and their expertise spans workload analysis, migration strategy, future state design, and migration planning. HAQM DMA Migrations are fixed price migration offers that are priced based on a tiered complexity model. HAQM DMA can also assist you in deploying your workloads to production environments.

HAQM DMA Advisors

HAQM DMA Advisor engagements start with migration strategy and planning including detailed analysis of workloads and development of future state design. This is followed by recommendations for workloads suitable for HAQM DMA Migrations. If you’re building your own Center of Excellence or equivalent capability to grow your internal migration expertise, HAQM DMA Advisors are available to participate and stay engaged until migrations are deployed to production.

HAQM DMA Migrations

HAQM DMA Migrations are fixed-price offerings delivered by AWS engineers using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and other AWS tools. There are three fixed-price tiers for HAQM DMA Migrations (category 1, 2, and 3) reflecting increasing complexity and effort. These migrations include database conversion, required application refactoring, and appropriate testing agreed upon with you to ensure completed workloads are functioning as committed in your pre-production environment.

Upon delivery of HAQM DMA Migrations, you can move workloads into production, or use AWS Professional Services or the HAQM Partner Network (APN) to assist in the process. HAQM DMA also offers fixed-price production deployment assistance tailored to your needs. This offering could include migration orchestration, integration engineering, performance tuning, and deployment assistance to a production environment.
