With enterprises looking for options to move from traditional warehouses and expand their business operations has created a growing demand for cloud platforms across the globe. Be it a public, private or hybrid cloud enterprises are willing to invest and move their critical workloads and applications to the cloud. And, this is only going to increase in the coming years.
As enterprises are embracing cloud and expanding their horizons, they are looking beyond the lift-and-shift to move into the virtual world. The enterprises are willing to refactor and rebuild directly in the cloud. Even though the enterprises will continue to keep their mission-critical workloads on-premises, the enterprise data and workflows will be taken care of by cloud solutions.
With Cloud4C automated solutions, enterprises can enable database auditing, capacity management to platform-supported disruption management, upgrading, and patching. This helps in making the complex and voluminous migrations secure and fail-proof with data loss and downtime.
With Cloud4C intelligent managed services automation, we ensure that the enterprises mission-critical workloads are secure end-to-end. The zero downtimes, complete data and infra security is cost-effective and the automation of any repeatable and routine tasks will ensure that no resources are wasted.

Cloud4C Application Modernization on GCP assists enterprises in end-to-end implementation monitoring and maintaining their applications. The Cloud4C’s expertise combined with wide range of Google Cloud flexible and secure services will be the perfect solution for enterprises to align their business goals with the future. As part of the application modernization, we use different approaches and techniques which includes the following:
Remove: Filter out existing datacenter workloads, apps that are redundant and doesn’t contribute significantly to modern operations. Such redundancies could lead to unnecessary cloud wastage and cloud sprawl, shooting up expenses if not addressed adequately.
Retain: Retain mission-critical on-prem systems, workloads, resources that are working diligently and cannot function effectively on the adopted cloud ecosystem. This ensures the deployment of a hybrid architecture that works best in all scenarios.
Replatform: Replatform key assets and applications that must be migrated to the cloud ecosystem but isn’t possible owing to outdated backend platforms and infra. Such replatforming assists enterprises to take the primary step towards app modernization on the cloud and leverage the latter’s capabilities to the fullest.
Rehost: Also known as “Lift & Shift,” is one of the commonly used approaches to move the applications to cloud. In simple terms, it means, the application are moved to Google with very few changes to the infrastructure as a whole. The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) helps enterprises to decrease their operating expenditure, make space in their data center and quicken the migration process.
Repurchase: Repurchasing involves changing the underlying app, infra licensing models to adopt a cloud-based billing approach. Usually availed as-a-service, such an initiative helps streamline expenses and seamlessly manage, maintain, upgrade, and integrate the existing IT stack.
Refactor: Refactoring means tailoring an application to suit the cloud environment. As part of refactoring, we modify the application itself and a part of the code to ensure that use of cloud-native functions. For refactoring, we will be moving to a PaaS model which includes the Google Wireframe Modernization. Refactoring helps developers to re-use the framework, containers and languages that they invested in.
The age of modern development environments is here, powered and augmented on intelligent Cloud. Google Cloud Platform, brought in by a company that powers the world’s largest software ecosystems, embeds cutting-edge tools and technologies to empower the end enterprise with advanced DevOps-as-a-Service. Integrate native solutions like the Intelligent Google Kubernetes Engine for containerization, Cloud Build for custom workflow management, Artifact Registry to manage container images, Binary Authorization for container security, Tekton and Spinnaker for multicloud CI/CD pipelines deployment, and a smart Operations suite to integrate development environments with production/operational workflows. Cloud4C’s advanced managed expertise enhances the experience even further, allowing firms to seamlessly onboard a tailored DevOps-as-a-Service architecture on the Google Cloud. Integrate security by design to onboard a full-on DevSecOps culture.
With enterprises increasing their digital footprints every year, the time has come to decrease costs and take advantage of new technologies such as Big Data which offer great flexibility in evaluating the information with powerful AI and analytical algorithms. This will only be possible if the enterprises modernize their data which means moving their legacy system to cloud-databases.
