Programme context
Fanatics Commerce is migrating approximately 1,800 servers across five data centres to AWS, with December 2026 retained as a target.
Why this matters: The record identifies a named organisation, an explicit predecessor and destination platform, and a bounded workload and lifecycle stage.
Migration timeline
| Date or stage | Milestone | What changed | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assessment | Migration milestone | Discovery and assessment were completed. | Source-stated stage |
| Mobilisation | Migration milestone | Mobilisation was completed before the current migration phase. | Source-stated stage |
| December 2026 target | Migration milestone | Programme completion is targeted for December 2026. | Planned date |
Workload migration matrix

Implementation and architecture
- The programme covers Windows and Linux servers across five global data centres.
- Migration and modernisation are being executed as a staged programme.
- Forecast savings and target dates remain plans rather than achieved outcomes.
Known unknowns and contradictions
- The exact first production cutover date.
- Completed server and application counts by tranche.
- Which data centres have closed, if any.
- Whether the December 2026 target will be met.
No missing fact is inferred to broaden the source-supported migration claim.
PlatformTrace analysis
The source supports completion of assessment and mobilisation and an active migrate-and-modernise phase. It does not support a completed migration or realised forecast benefits.
Performance, cost, uptime and operational outcomes remain attributed source claims unless independently stated otherwise.
