AIRET and AWS Partner to Boost VMware Cloud Migration

IRET Corporation is in Minato-ku, Tokyo. Mitsumasa Iwanaga is the President and CEO. They offer many IT solutions. These include system and application development. They also handle infrastructure design and operations. Recently, IRET announced a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The partnership wants to speed up moving and updating VMware environments to AWS.

With over 2,500 client engagements and more than 4,300 projects each year, IRET uses its strong knowledge of AWS and VMware. This helps companies move their old VMware systems to the cloud. This initiative modernizes current VMware environments. It also rebuilds VMware Cloud on AWS using AWS infrastructure.

Strategic Context

Digital transformation is speeding up, so moving IT infrastructure to the cloud is now a key business strategy. For organizations using on-premise VMware for years, cloud migration offers benefits. These include better performance, lower costs, and more flexibility. Legacy systems can be complex. This often makes migration hard. You need specialized expertise to tackle these challenges.

AWS and its partners will stop reselling “VMware Cloud on AWS” in April 2024. This popular solution helps run VMware’s Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) on AWS. The change adds to the urgency. So, businesses are looking for new ways to migrate and modernize their VMware workloads. Successful migration needs a fresh look at infrastructure strategies. It also demands strong technical knowledge of AWS’s 240+ cloud services.

IRET’s new partnership with AWS addresses this need. It aims to make the transition easier and create lasting value through cloud-native modernization.

IRET’s Role and Proven Track Record

Since 2010, IRET has provided “cloudpack.” This service supports AWS design, operations, and maintenance, all 24/7. In 2013, the company became one of the first in Japan to earn the “AWS Premier Consulting Partner” title (now AWS Premier Tier Services Partner). It has kept this recognition ever since.

IRET offers complete migration services. We help businesses switch to AWS and get the most out of their VMware investments. IRET provides solutions with Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS. This is a great choice for VMware users. NC2 makes it easy to move from on-premise environments to AWS. You can do this without changing IP addresses or reconfiguring apps.

Since partnering with Nutanix in 2022, IRET has completed many successful NC2 migrations on AWS. This has helped ensure smooth transitions and support modernization efforts on AWS.

The latest SCA builds on an agreement from June 2025. This agreement, signed by IRET and AWS, aims to speed up the use of generative AI. IRET and AWS are deepening their partnership. They will work closely together to drive business innovation and transformation for enterprise clients.
