Migrating to AWS can be complex, but with RiverMeadow’s Workload and Data Mobility Platform, customers gain a powerful solution to simplify and accelerate the process. 

In addition to support for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) backed storage, RiverMeadow also supports migrating workloads and data onto Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSxN) as part of the migration process. 

By leveraging FSxN, customers can realize additional benefits such as flexibility of storage protocols (for block - iSCSI and NVMe-over-TCP and for file - NFS and SMB), storage scaling and tiering (shrink and grow capacity based on demand) and increased performance (throttle IOPS based on business demand). 

Streamlined Migration to FSxN

For businesses seeking an efficient way to migrate workloads and/or data onto FSxN (block or file), RiverMeadow offers a secure and easy path. RiverMeadow’s unique platform allows customers to migrate entire workloads or just select data sets from any existing environment, and to FSxN.

Migration Use Cases

RiverMeadow empowers businesses to migrate and optimize workloads, whether source workloads are physical, virtual, or cloud-based, and onto FSxN with the following key capabilities:

• Migrate Workloads on to AWS EC2 plus FSxN: RiverMeadow creates the EC2 instance and migrates source disks directly onto newly created FSxN volumes, allowing businesses to benefit from lower cloud OPEX and improved performance.
• Migrate Data on to FSxN: Customers can decouple and move only selected disks, shares, or mount points from any source, whether physical, virtual, or cloud-based, to FSxN. This flexibility reduces operational costs while providing greater scalability.

Optimized Storage and Performance

RiverMeadow’s platform offers enhanced flexibility by decoupling storage from expensive compute requirements, allowing customers to tailor their AWS environments for scalability and optimized cost management. By using FSxN, businesses can focus on performance while minimizing unnecessary expenses.

Conclusion

RiverMeadow’s expertise in workload and data migration, combined with the flexibility of FSxN, provides customers with a streamlined, cost-effective path to AWS. Whether migrating entire workloads or optimizing specific data sets, RiverMeadow ensures a safe and efficient migration, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership and boosting performance.
