Application Modernisation
Moving an application between platforms in-house or to the cloud can save costs and improve reliability. But success depends on managing the migration process well.
If you’re currently running an application on an on-premise platform, you could realise many benefits by moving it to a cloud platform such as Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud or AWS. This is known as application modernisation.
Switching to a cloud solution means you no longer have the hassle of maintaining and managing an on-premise server. Your staff can access your application from anywhere, anytime, making it easy to work remotely or support multi-site operations. It’s easier to scale up the hosting as you grow, and you’ll probably be able to develop a stronger disaster recovery plan too.
So far, so good. But those benefits only arrive once you’re actually in the cloud. To reach that point, you need to move your application from its current home to the new cloud platform.
To make the transfer successfully, you’ll need to migrate all your business-critical data without loss or corruption, ensuring it’s available throughout the process so your business can continue to operate as normal.
Most applications today are running 24×7, with huge volumes of data underpinning them. The ideal way to move them without adversely impacting existing production services is in advance. However, if you’re migrating a platform for a critical application, keeping data current and minimising downtime is a bigger challenge.
So, how can you migrate large volumes of data efficiently, promptly and without losing any transactions?
At Triton, we specialise in helping clients modernise their applications by switching to a cloud platform – or a different on-premise platform – quickly and smoothly.
Although we are recognised experts in Db2, we also have skills in Google Spanner, AWS Aurora and PostgreSQL, among others.
Our application modernisation service will help you migrate data by reducing operational risks – during both the migration plan and the move itself.
With our help, you can complete your migration successfully while keeping costs down and ensuring critical services are available throughout.
