Cloud Migration & Modernisation Services

Cloud migration is the process of moving your business’s data, email and applications to a Cloud computing environment. Often, this entails moving the data from a legacy, on-premise IT infrastructure to the hyperscale public cloud. For many companies legacy applications have become outdated, unreliable, insecure and extremely costly to maintain. Companies spend more simply ‘keeping the lights on’ than creating systems that will drive business agility and growth.

Today, Cloud migration has become a ‘when’ not an ‘if’ as part of Cloud modernisation strategies. But many organisations lack the business or technical expertise to complete the transition. Our Cloud Migration services remove the risk and pain of shifting moving you to the Cloud. We’ll handle the planning, assessment, while ensuring your business continues undisrupted during the process.

Cloud modernisation is similar to Cloud migration. Only you’re moving from one type of Cloud installation to another, rather than moving from on-premise to the Cloud. Many of the processes and techniques are the same. In some cases – such as moving from one hyperscale public cloud provider to another – they may be more straightforward.

But, they can also be more challenging, as Cloud modernisation usually means that you are increasing the sophistication and depth of your Cloud capabilities. As well as taking the opportunity to re-assess their applications and processes and re-evaluate their own IT estate, organisations often look to strengthen in areas such as governance, analytics and monitoring. There are three types.

In the past, performance and security concerns have made organisations reticent – especially those in regulated industries – to move to the hyperscale Public Cloud. Instead, they have built Private Cloud deployments on their own internal servers. However, these Private Cloud installations are often little more than virtualization that lack the power, scalability or security or hyperscale Public Cloud.

The Gartner Group found that less than 5% of Private Clouds in the public sector have full cloud features. In addition, Private Clouds can suffer from many of the drawbacks as tradition on-premise systems. They have to be managed internally. They can become outdated. They are not agile enough to grow as the business requires. As organisations become comfortable with the fact that hyperscale Public Cloud computing now delivers a superior level of security and data protection in comparison with on-premise systems, the move to hyperscale Public Cloud is accelerating. Our Cloud Modernisation services make the process fast and efficient with minimal risk or disruption to your business.
