Apps Associates and Matilda Cloud Partner to Deliver AI-Driven AWS Storage Assessments and Cloud Migrations

Boston, MA – March 31, 2026 – Apps Associates, an acclaimed global leader in enterprise application services, is pleased to announce an expanded strategic partnership with Matilda Cloud to deliver advanced, data-driven storage assessments and seamless cloud migrations leveraging Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSx for ONTAP). As the first AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) certified tool to integrate with FSx for ONTAP, Matilda Cloud empowers Apps Associates to provide enterprise customers with precise insights into their storage environments, particularly for VMware and database workloads migrating to AWS.

“Organizations moving complex VMware and database workloads to AWS need clear visibility into their storage environments before migration begins,” said Mihir Patel, VP Global Client Partner at Apps Associates. “By combining Matilda Cloud’s advanced storage modeling with Apps Associates’ deep cloud delivery expertise, we help customers make more informed architectural decisions and accelerate migrations to AWS with greater confidence.”

Leveraging Matilda Cloud’s AI-powered platform, Apps Associates now provides customers a comprehensive, storage-aware modeling phase that eliminates the complexities of manual pre-migration assessments. This solution maps observed workload behavior directly to FSx for ONTAP configuration constructs, enabling organizations to evaluate enterprise storage features—such as data tiering, cloning, and multi-protocol access—upfront during the planning stage. In anonymized customer assessments conducted using Matilda Cloud, FSx for ONTAP configurations have shown cost advantages of up to 40 percent compared to alternative AWS storage options.

“By combining Apps Associates’ deep cloud delivery expertise with Matilda Cloud’s innovative storage modeling, we are helping organizations make architectural decisions with absolute certainty,” said Viren Balar, Chief Revenue and Growth Officer at Matilda Cloud. “This partnership directly addresses the complexities of enterprise storage, allowing customers to realize immediate ROI and cost savings of up to 40% by right-sizing their deployments on AWS from day one.” 

“Architects and IT teams need clarity, not generic sizing ratios, when planning their cloud transitions,” added Rajesh Reddy, Co-Founder and CTO at Matilda Cloud. “Our AI-powered platform maps observed workload behavior directly to FSx for ONTAP capabilities. We are thrilled to work alongside Apps Associates to deliver assessment reports that reflect how storage is actually consumed, reducing risks and eliminating the need for post-migration fixes.” 

Key Features and Benefits:

• AI-Powered Discovery: Apps Associates utilizes Matilda Cloud’s automated tools to discover your current environment (VMware, physical servers, databases). It successfully maps application dependencies for a complete view of the estate.
• Storage-Aware Modeling: The platform models the deployment with all native AWS storage options, showing side-by-side comparisons. It applies intelligent sizing logic to recommend the best fit for purpose service.
• Clear Cost Visibility: The comparative reports provide quantifiable insight into cost drivers across different storage options. It identifies inefficiencies such as Snapshot sprawl, over-provisioned IOPS, and low change rate volumes to maximize savings.
• Upfront Feature Evaluation: The assessment evaluates storage efficiency assumptions, data tiering behavior, and workload-specific performance characteristics as first-order design inputs. This highlights the operational value of enterprise storage capabilities before deployment.
• End-to-End Managed Services: Post-migration support and managed services ensure sustained efficiency and performance, decreasing the risk of additional storage migration projects after the transition to the cloud.

Matilda Cloud’s integration into the AWS Marketplace provides added convenience and transparency for clients. Pricing for this service is customized to meet specific needs, and inquiries can be directed to Apps Associates’ sales team for a personalized quote.
