Modernise you business applications

Strategies for modernising your business applications

1 Rehost

Often referred to as “lift and shift” migration, this no-code option lets you migrate your existing applications to cloud, e.g. Azure, quickly—without the risks or costs of making code changes.

Use for:

• Moving applications to the cloud quickly

• Apps that use Azure IaaS scalability

• Businesses that require the applications but don’t need to change capabilities right away

2 Refactor

Often referred to as “repackage,” this cloud migration strategy involves some change to the application design but no wholesale changes to the application code.

Use for:

• When you have an existing codebase and development skills

• Code portability is a concern

• A quick way to modernize your apps

3 Rearchitect

Modernize your app into a resilient, highly scalable, independently deployable architecture and use Azure to accelerate the process, scale applications, and manage your apps with ease.

Use for:

• Taking advantage of existing application investments

• Meeting scalability requirements in a cost-effective way

• Bringing new Azure capabilities to existing applications

4 Rebuild

Rebuild an application from scratch using cloud-native technologies, without the expense and complexity of software licenses, the need for underlying application infrastructure, or middleware and other resources.

Use for:

• Rapid development when the existing application is slowing you down

• Building innovative apps that take advantage of advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT)

• Expediting business innovation
