Legacy Cloud Modernisation

Future-Proof Your Business with Cloud Modernisation by gravity9

As businesses evolve, the need for agile, scalable, and secure IT infrastructure becomes paramount. Legacy systems can hold your organisation back, while cloud modernisation offers a pathway to innovation and efficiency. At gravity9, we specialise in helping businesses transition from outdated infrastructure to cutting-edge cloud solutions that meet the demands of today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

What is Cloud Modernisation?

Cloud modernisation is the process of upgrading your IT systems to leverage the power of modern cloud platforms. It involves transitioning from legacy infrastructure to scalable, flexible, and secure cloud environments.

This transformation enables businesses to:

  • Reduce operational costs.
  • Increase agility and scalability.
  • Enhance data security and compliance.
  • Leverage advanced tools like AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics.

Cloud modernisation is essential for businesses looking to stay competitive and innovate faster in an ever-changing market.

Why Modernise Your Cloud Infrastructure?

Legacy IT systems are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern businesses. Here are the challenges they present and how cloud modernisation solves them:

High Operational Costs

Legacy infrastructure requires significant investments in maintenance, hardware, and energy. Cloud modernisation eliminates these costs with pay-as-you-go models.

Limited Scalability

Traditional systems struggle to handle growing workloads. Cloud solutions scale seamlessly to meet business demands, no matter how large or small.

Integration Challenges

Legacy systems often can’t integrate with modern tools, creating silos and inefficiencies. Cloud platforms provide a unified ecosystem for seamless integration.

Security Vulnerabilities

Outdated infrastructure is prone to cyber threats. Cloud platforms offer advanced security features, including encryption, access control, and compliance tools.

Inefficient Performance

Legacy systems are slower and less reliable. Modern cloud environments deliver faster, more efficient performance, improving user satisfaction.

gravity9’s Cloud Modernisation Services

At gravity9, we provide comprehensive cloud modernisation solutions tailored to your business’s unique needs.

Cloud Readiness Assessment

We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your current infrastructure to:

  • Identify areas for improvement.
  • Determine the best cloud solution for your needs (public, private, or hybrid).
  • Develop a clear migration roadmap aligned with your business goals.

Cloud Migration

We seamlessly migrate your legacy systems to the cloud, ensuring minimal disruption:

  • Migrate applications, databases, and workloads to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Leverage automation to streamline the migration process.
  • Optimise systems for cloud-native functionality.

3. Cloud-Native Development

We help you maximise the benefits of the cloud by building or re-engineering applications for cloud-native environments:

  • Utilise microservices architecture for scalability.
  • Implement containerisation with tools like Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Enable serverless computing for cost efficiency and speed.

Security and Compliance

We ensure your cloud environment is secure and compliant with industry standards:

  • Implement advanced security protocols, including encryption and multi-factor authentication.
  • Ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO.
  • Conduct regular audits and vulnerability assessments.

Cost Optimisation

Cloud modernisation can reduce operational costs, but inefficiencies can add up. We help you optimise cloud usage:

  • Monitor and control resource consumption.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities, such as reserved instances or autoscaling.
  • Implement governance frameworks for sustainable operations.

DevOps Integration

Accelerate your cloud journey with DevOps practices:

  • Automate CI/CD pipelines for faster deployment.
  • Enhance collaboration between development and operations teams.
  • Improve system reliability and scalability.
