Case Study: Connotate achieves a confident, right-sized AWS migration with CloudHealth Technologies

Connotate Confidently Migrates to AWS with Help from CloudHealth

Connotate, a 20‑year‑old provider of high‑speed web data extraction that handles hundreds of thousands of sites and terabytes of data daily, decided to move its remaining VMware on‑premises workload to AWS. The company needed to migrate 500 VMs and 50 TB of data without disrupting minute‑by‑minute Managed Data Service (MDS) customer uploads, and faced the challenge of accurately sizing compute and memory to preserve performance while avoiding excess capacity.

Connotate used CloudHealth’s migration assessment to measure real VM compute and memory use and produce right‑sizing recommendations, then duplicated and tested deployments for both small and large customers. Tests returned matching or better performance on AWS; the move lets the IT team focus on software rather than hardware, promises long‑term cost savings and improved disaster‑recovery options, and Connotate will continue using CloudHealth for ongoing rightsizing and optimization.
