Case Study: Wayne State College achieves zero-disruption VMware-to-AWS migration with Trianz Concierto

Wayne State College migrates VMware to AWS with Trianz and achieves zero disruption

Wayne State College, a higher education institution in Nebraska, faced an urgent need to modernize its aging VMware infrastructure due to end-of-life hardware, VMware licensing changes, and critical security risks. With a small IT team and zero tolerance for disruption to academic operations, the college turned to vendor Trianz and its Concierto Migrate platform to execute a rapid and seamless migration to AWS.

Trianz implemented its AI-powered Concierto platform to automate the discovery, assessment, and migration of the college's entire datacenter portfolio, including VMs, containers, and virtual desktops. The solution achieved a net-positive financial outcome where migration costs were fully offset through AWS partnership benefits. Results included a rapid, zero-disruption migration with all end-of-life systems remediated and a substantial roadmap for TCO reduction, all while maintaining uninterrupted academic continuity.
