Cloud Modernization

What is cloud modernization?

Cloud modernization is the process of migrating, updating, and re-architecting existing on-prem applications to a cloud environment. It can both enhance your cyber resilience through restructuring your applications and improve business operations through optimized performance.

Cloud modernization vs. cloud migration

Cloud migration is the process of moving company data or applications to a cloud-based solution. Whether the data is moved from local storage or from another cloud, the migration process can involve moving all data at once, or slowly over a period of time. Typically, cloud migration focuses on moving existing datasets or applications to the cloud without altering them.

Cloud modernization however does involve re-architecting your applications so that they can leverage cloud features.
