Caylent, an AWS Premier Tier Partner known for cloud modernization and AI-driven delivery, has unveiled Caylent Accelerate for Cloud Migration, a new service aimed at making large-scale AWS migrations faster, smarter, and more cost-effective. The offering targets enterprises moving workloads from VMware, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure to AWS, claiming up to a 50% reduction in migration timelines.
“Caylent Accelerate’s AI-powered discovery quickly pinpointed our true migration needs, reducing migration time by 40%,” said Sean Curran, Head of IT at Nationwide Appraisal Services. “With automated IaC generation and a generative AI testing suite, Caylent is modernizing our infrastructure, retiring VMware licenses, and setting us up for long-term success beyond migration.”
Turning Migration Into a Business Outcome
Unlike traditional migration projects, which can be slow and labor-intensive, Caylent Accelerate combines AI automation, output-based pricing, and built-in resiliency to focus on business results, not just lifted workloads. Key features include:
- AI-Powered Delivery: Automated dependency mapping, code conversion, and migration planning reduce risk and speed timelines.
- Output-Based Model: Customers pay only for workloads that are successfully migrated and validated in AWS.
- Resiliency by Default: Disaster recovery strategies are baked into every migration, aligned to RPO/RTO requirements.
- Cost Optimization: Post-migration rightsizing, baseline costs, and Savings Plan recommendations ensure immediate ROI.
During migrations, AI automates AWS Application Migration Service configuration, translates VM metadata into optimized AWS launch templates, and generates Terraform infrastructure-as-code. Post-migration, AI-driven health checks and dependency validations minimize downtime, reduce errors, and allow greater parallelization across workloads.
Part of a Broader AI-Powered Modernization Portfolio
Caylent Accelerate for Cloud Migration is the second service in the Caylent Accelerate portfolio, following Accelerate for Database Modernization. Both aim to simplify modernization, cut technical debt, and unlock long-term value from AWS.
“Success is more than workloads migrated,” said Lori Williams, CEO of Caylent. “Our approach fuses technical expertise, AI automation, and delivery experience. As AWS’s Global Migration Partner of the Year, we ensure customers can unlock value quickly and sustain it long term.”
Why It Matters
Migration delays and overspending are common: nearly 40% of companies experience migrations delayed by more than a quarter, and 69% overshoot cloud budgets, according to McKinsey and Gartner. Caylent’s AI-driven, output-focused approach tackles these challenges head-on, helping enterprises reduce CapEx on legacy infrastructure, cut OpEx, and redirect resources to innovation.
For organizations planning large-scale AWS migrations, Caylent Accelerate promises a faster, more predictable, and AI-augmented path to cloud modernization.
