OLA Accelerator Export
The OLA Accelerator Report is a downloadable Excel report available in the Assessment Reports section. This report offers data-driven Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) for cloud migrations. It provides right-sizing, comprehensive licensing optimization (including BYOL), and cost projections (TCO) to guide the cloud strategy.
The Cloudamize OLA Accelerator report is a specialized output from Cloudamize's assessment platform, specifically designed to aid in AWS cloud migrations. It provides a detailed analysis of your on-premises infrastructure, including inventory and performance data.
The report's key function is to identify opportunities for resource optimization and licensing savings when moving to AWS, often integrated with AWS's Migration Portfolio Assessment (MPA) tool. It helps organizations right-size their workloads, compare costs for various AWS services, and develop an accelerated migration plan by providing actionable insights.
Steps to Navigate to the OLA Accelerator Report:
Log in to the console https://console.cloudamize.com/#/
Navigate to the Analyze page of your completed assessment.
Click the View Details button beside your AWS results.
Click the Reports tab on the right-hand side of the screen to see the following:

Export Template-
Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
On-Prem Server Name | Name of the server in the on-premises environment |
On-Prem Database Instance Name | Name of the SQL instance (if applicable) |
On-Prem VMWare Hyper-V Cluster | Cluster name if using virtualization |
On-Prem Hypervisor Host | Host running the virtual machine |
On-Prem Hypervisor Physical Processors | Number of physical CPUs on the host |
On-Prem Hypervisor Cores per Processor | Cores per physical CPU |
On-Prem Hypervisor Total Physical Cores | Total physical cores on the hypervisor |
On-Prem SQL Server Edition | Edition of SQL Server (e.g., Standard, Enterprise) |
On-Prem SQL Server Version | Version of SQL Server installed |
On-Prem Operating System | OS name and version running on the server |
On-Prem Physical -OR- Virtual Processors | Indicates the number of processor sockets for a server. For physical servers, this refers to the number of physical CPU processors. For virtual machines, it refers to the number of virtual processors (vCPUs) allocated. This is used for performance analysis and cloud sizing. |
On-Prem Total Physical Cores -OR- Virtual Cores | Represents the total number of CPU cores available to the server. For physical servers, this is the total number of physical CPU cores (calculated as processors × cores per processor). For virtual machines, this refers to the total number of virtual cores (vCPUs) assigned. It is critical for evaluating compute capacity and right-sizing in cloud migrations. |
IO Throughput-
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Server Name | Same as in Export Template |
Network IO MBps (95 percentile) | Peak observed network throughput |
Disk IO MBps (95 percentile) | Peak observed disk throughput |
Agg Disk IOPS (95 percentile) | Aggregate disk IO per second (95th percentile) |
ID | Server identifier |
Storage Details-
Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
Asset | Identifies the type or category of the infrastructure resource listed, such as a server, database instance, or disk. It often helps group storage metrics under the appropriate parent resource (e.g., server or VM). This classification aids in organizing resource data for analysis, costing, and migration planning. |
Instance Name | Server or VM name associated with the storage |
Disk | Disk label or identifier |
Mount Point | Mount location or directory path |
Annual Cost($) | Estimated yearly cost for storage |
Region | Cloud region or on-prem location |
Current Disk Capacity (GB) | Total disk size in GB |
Disk Occupancy (GB) | Used space in GB |
Recommended Storage Type | Suggested type (e.g., Premium SSD, Standard HDD) |
Recommended Cloud Capacity(GB) | Estimated capacity to provision in cloud |
Number of RAID 0 Disks | Indicates the number of disks configured in a RAID 0 (striped) array for a given storage resource. RAID 0 offers maximum performance by striping data across multiple disks without redundancy. |
Required Peak Throughput (MBps) | Represents the maximum observed or projected data transfer rate required by the storage system, measured in megabytes per second (MBps). |
Available Max Throughput (MBps) | Specifies the maximum data transfer rate supported by the current or proposed storage configuration, measured in megabytes per second (MBps). |
Required Peak IOPS | Indicates the maximum number of input/output operations per second (IOPS) required by the workload under peak conditions. |
Available Max IOPS | Represents the maximum number of IOPS (input/output operations per second) that the current or proposed storage configuration can deliver. |
Annual Cost($) | Represents the estimated total yearly cost of the storage resource, including all relevant components such as capacity, IOPS, throughput, and cloud service fees. |
Required Capacity for Storage (GB) | Indicates the total amount of storage capacity needed for the workload, measured in gigabytes (GB). |
Required Capacity for Performance (GB) | Specifies the minimum storage capacity needed to meet performance requirements such as IOPS and throughput |
Available Capacity (GB) | Indicates the currently provisioned or usable storage space, measured in gigabytes (GB), available to the system or application |
Required Number of Volumes | Indicates the calculated number of individual storage volumes needed to meet the workload’s performance (IOPS, throughput) and capacity requirements. |
Required Peak IOPS | Represents the maximum number of I/O operations per second the storage system must support during peak workload periods. |
Peak Type | Indicates the method used to define or interpret "peak" performance metrics such as IOPS or throughput. Common values may include |
Baseline IOPS | Represents the average or typical number of input/output operations per second required by the workload during normal (non-peak) operation. |
Available Max IOPS | Specifies the maximum number of input/output operations per second that the current or proposed storage configuration can support. |
Required Peak Throughput (MBps) | Represents the maximum data transfer rate (in megabytes per second) required by the storage system during peak usage. |
Available Max Throughput (MBps) | Indicates the maximum data transfer rate (in megabytes per second) that the current or proposed storage configuration can deliver |
Baseline Throughput (MBps) | Expected average throughput |
Required Number of Volumes for IOPS | Number of volumes to meet IOPS needs |
Required Number of Volumes for Throughput | Number of volumes for throughput needs |
Required Number of Volumes for Capacity | Volumes required for capacity |
Max Allowed Number of Volumes | Maximum allowed by cloud provider |
Ops per Month (Millions) | Estimated monthly operations (in millions) |
Annual IOPS Cost($) | Cost for IOPS annually |
