The rush to migrate to the cloud is intensifying. As companies face growing pressure to innovate and cut costs, Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to be the go-to platform. Gartner predicts that public cloud spending will reach $575.4 billion in 2024, up 20.4% from the previous year. Yet, many organizations struggle to find the capital, time, and strategy to migrate efficiently. By combining accelerated cloud migration, creative financing options, and innovative VMware solutions, ReluTech helps businesses move to AWS faster, cut costs, and avoid the pitfalls of rushed decisions.
Freeing Up Capital for Migration
One of the most common barriers to cloud migration is the lack of available capital. Many businesses are tied up in legacy hardware, leaving them with little to spend on their AWS journey. ReluTech’s Purchase Leaseback (PLB) program solves this problem by unlocking the capital sitting in your data center.
Here’s how it works: ReluTech buys your current hardware at its book value, giving you an immediate cash infusion. You then lease the equipment back for a low monthly fee while you focus on moving workloads to AWS. This eliminates the need for upfront spending and accelerates your migration timeline. Instead of waiting years to complete your cloud strategy, you can use these funds right away to drive innovation and migrate to AWS faster.
Our PLB solution isn’t just a financial boost—it’s a strategic tool that transforms your data center from a burden into a resource that actively funds your future in the cloud. By working with ReluTech, companies are able to kick-start their migration projects without breaking their budgets or delaying operations.
Accelerating Migration by 40% with Flexible, Phased Transitions
Many organizations expect a lengthy, disruptive migration when moving to the cloud, which often leads to delays. Research from McKinsey shows that prolonged cloud migration can increase IT costs by up to 30% annually due to inefficiencies and slower innovation. ReluTech’s migration approach cuts through these delays by reducing migration time by up to 40%.
Our phased migration process allows businesses to move in controlled steps rather than all at once. We identify high-priority workloads and applications to migrate first, allowing businesses to continue operating without interruption. We also leverage automation tools to move data and applications quickly and securely, minimizing downtime and reducing risks.
Instead of dealing with a stressful, all-at-once transition, ReluTech makes it possible to move workloads to AWS while still running your business smoothly. We help companies avoid the panic of a “cutover weekend” and move at a pace that balances speed with security.
Lowering Maintenance Costs by 50% During Migration
During the migration to AWS, companies often face high maintenance costs as they continue to support their legacy infrastructure. OEM contracts can be restrictive, locking companies into expensive, long-term commitments that sap their budgets. With ReluTech’s Third-Party Maintenance (TPM) services, we offer an affordable alternative, cutting maintenance costs by up to 50%.
ReluTech’s TPM solution is fully customizable, allowing you to support your critical infrastructure at a fraction of the cost without sacrificing reliability or uptime. The savings generated from this can be redirected toward AWS migration efforts, enabling faster movement to the cloud while still maintaining critical on-prem infrastructure during the transition.
Our clients typically see savings of 50-90% compared to OEM contracts, which makes a massive difference in funding their cloud strategy. With ReluTech’s support, companies can migrate with confidence, knowing their legacy systems are being managed efficiently until they no longer need them.
Addressing VMware Challenges with a Smarter, More Strategic Approach
For many companies, the decision to migrate to AWS is complicated by the presence of VMware. With Broadcom's acquisition of VMware and the transition to more expensive SaaS licensing models, businesses are facing tough choices about whether to remain on VMware or move workloads to AWS. Rushing into an expensive SaaS contract without fully assessing your options can be costly.
ReluTech offers a better solution: Pause and evaluate. Our VMware support and migration solutions allow you to maintain your current VMware infrastructure at a lower cost while you strategize for the future. Instead of rushing into a Broadcom SaaS contract, which may drastically increase costs, ReluTech helps you take a step back and evaluate your options.
Through ReluTech’s Pause Button for VMware, we provide support that allows you to hold off on making immediate decisions about VMware’s future. You can take the time to explore AWS migration as an alternative and fully assess the potential cost savings and performance benefits. This approach ensures that you're not forced into a quick decision with Broadcom, but rather, you’re able to weigh the financial and operational advantages of moving to AWS versus staying on VMware.
Many of our clients who initially felt trapped in the VMware ecosystem have used this “pause” to successfully migrate workloads to AWS, resulting in significant savings on licensing costs. The combination of our Third-Party Maintenance for VMware environments and our AWS migration services gives you the flexibility to migrate at your own pace, without being rushed into a SaaS model that doesn’t suit your needs.
Creating Flexibility with Elastic Support for Cloud Migration
The journey to the cloud isn’t the same for everyone, and ReluTech recognizes that. Businesses often need the flexibility to move workloads gradually, rather than being forced to migrate everything at once. That’s why we offer Elastic Support Services, which allows you to move critical workloads to AWS at your own pace, all while keeping essential systems running on-prem until you're ready to fully transition.
This flexibility ensures that companies don’t have to sacrifice stability or performance during their migration. By working with ReluTech, you can balance the speed of migration with operational needs, keeping key applications running while you build a stronger foundation in AWS.
Elastic support means that businesses can leverage both AWS and on-prem solutions simultaneously. This gradual approach reduces the risk of outages or performance issues, all while accelerating your migration.
Case Study: Avoiding Broadcom's Price Hike and Migrating to AWS
One client, a large manufacturing company, was facing steep SaaS licensing fees after Broadcom's acquisition of VMware. Rather than rushing into a costly new contract, they turned to ReluTech for guidance. We provided a pause by taking over their VMware maintenance at half the cost while they evaluated their options.
During this time, the company explored AWS as a more scalable and cost-effective solution. Using ReluTech’s Purchase Leaseback program, they unlocked enough capital to fully fund their migration, which was completed four months ahead of schedule. By avoiding Broadcom’s expensive SaaS licensing and migrating key workloads to AWS, they cut their overall operating expenses by 65%.
