Virtual Machine Migration to AWS by Firemind

Move every virtual machine, right-sized, with the old operating systems fixed on the way.

Firemind migrates virtual machines from any hypervisor or cloud to AWS as governed code in your own account. Each machine is right-sized and end-of-life operating systems are fixed during the move. Then the same Engine runs it.

4 stages

assess, mobilise, migrate, operate

Your approver

signs off every cutover

Tested rollback

for every wave, before it moves

No handover

the same Engine runs it afterwards

Assess it, move it, then we run it.

1 · Assess

A plan you can take to finance.

MAP-aligned discovery and readiness, a path per workload, a business case with an AWS Pricing Calculator estimate, and a wave plan.

2 · Mobilise

Landing zone and a pilot wave.

Landing zone readiness, detailed plans for the first waves, a pilot migration, and MAP tagging from day one.

3 · Migrate

Wave by wave, as governed code.

Machines move wave by wave to Amazon EC2, right-sized, with end-of-life operating systems fixed during the move, acceptance tests and a tested rollback.

4 · Operate

Then we run it.

The same Engine handles monitoring, incident remediation, patching and end-of-life runtimes, with high-risk changes waiting for a named approver.

What’s in scope

Start with the free assessment →

A MAP-aligned readiness assessment, a path per workload, a business case and a wave plan
Right-sizing for every machine, with AWS Graviton where it fits
End-of-life operating systems fixed during the move
Windows Server and SQL Server licensing decided per machine
Acceptance tests and a tested rollback for every wave
Operations by the same Engine once each wave lands

Whatever happens, you're no worse off.

We designed this so there is no outcome where you lose. Here is every way it can go.

If this happensThen this is where you stand

You contract the assessment stage only.You keep the readiness assessment, the business case and the wave plan. Nothing commits you to the next stage.

A wave fails its acceptance tests.It rolls back using the rollback tested before the wave started. It doesn’t move on until the tests pass.

A change is high risk.It waits for the approver you named. Every action is logged in an immutable audit trail and your AWS CloudTrail.

You want to pause between stages.Each stage is agreed at its start, with scope, acceptance tests and approvers. Contract them together or one at a time.

The wave lands.The Engine that moved it now operates it. No handover to a different team, no gap in knowledge.

Read-only on the source. Every change on AWS run as code, under your rules.

Firemind connects through an IAM role you deploy with AWS CloudFormation, using temporary credentials. Pilot scopes run from Firemind’s AWS environment; in production the Engine runs in your own accounts.

Source platform: Read-only access to the hypervisors or clouds in scope
AWS: An IAM role you deploy, temporary credentials only
Changes: Planned, raised as code and run under your change rules
Cutovers: Wait for a named approver, with a tested rollback
Audit: Immutable audit trail plus your AWS CloudTrail

On your AWS invoice

Billed through your existing AWS account, alongside everything else you run.

AWS’s standard terms

Procured on AWS Marketplace’s standard terms, so procurement has seen them before.

No new supplier
