Modernization IT

Your on-premises infrastructure is holding you back. High fixed costs, manual scaling, and updates that take weeks. Google Cloud gives you Google's infrastructure—the same used by YouTube, Gmail , and Google Search—for your workloads.

5 signs that your infrastructure needs modernization

If you recognize any of these problems, it is time to speak up:

High fixed costs — You pay for hardware that operates at 20% utilization 90% of the time, yet you need 100% during peaks.

Slow scaling — Adding capacity takes weeks of purchasing, installation, and configuration. In the cloud, it takes minutes.

Risk of data loss — Manual backups, no tested disaster recovery, no geographic replication.

Insufficient security — Pending patches, outdated firewalls, no real-time threat monitoring.

You cannot use AI. — Your infrastructure does not support ML workloads or allow you to access models such as Gemini or Vertex AI .

3 migration strategies — we choose the right one for you

Not all workloads are migrated in the same way. We evaluate each application and select the strategy with the best cost-benefit ratio:

Lift & Shift

Fast and low-risk

Move your application to Compute Engine exactly as it is. Without changing code. Same operating system, same architecture, but on Google's infrastructure.

Ideal for: Legacy applications that perform well but require better infrastructure.

Re-platform

Optimized for the cloud

Partially migrate and adapt: move the database to Cloud SQL , use Cloud Storage instead of NFS, or containerize for GKE. Minimal changes, high impact.

Ideal for: Apps with traditional databases or local disk storage.

Re-architect

Cloud-native

Rebuild using Cloud Run , Cloud Functions, and Pub/Sub. A serverless microservices architecture that scales automatically, where you pay only for actual usage.

Ideal for: Monolithic apps that require scalability or will serve as the foundation of the business in the long term.

How we do it — step by step

Each modernization project follows a proven process with clear milestones:

Assessment and planning

We inventory your current infrastructure: servers, applications, dependencies, and data. We define what to migrate, the order of migration, and the strategy. We estimate costs and the timeline.

Landing Zone on GCP

We build your landing zone: project structure, VPC, IAM, security policies, and connectivity to your existing network (Cloud VPN or Interconnect). The solid foundation upon which everything is built.

Migration in waves

We do not migrate everything at once. We start with low-risk workloads to validate the process and scale up in waves until the migration is complete—without operational disruptions.

Optimization and operation

Once migrated, we optimize: VM rightsizing, CUDs, autoscaling, monitoring, and alerts. If you wish, we can transition to managed services for ongoing operations.

Google Cloud vs. On-Premise — The Real Comparison

	Google Cloud	On-premises
Initial cost	No investment — pay-per-use	Hardware + licenses + data center
Scaling	Minutes (autoscaling)	Weeks (purchase + installation)
Availability	99.99% SLA with credits	It depends on your equipment.
Security	Encryption by default + 800+ controls	The manual: your responsibility
Disaster Recovery	Integrated multi-region replication	Second CPD (double cost)
AI and ML	Vertex AI , Gemini , BigQuery ML	Expensive GPUs + in-house expertise

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the scope. A small environment (5–10 VMs) can be migrated in 2–4 weeks. More complex environments involving databases, integrations, and legacy applications may take 2–4 months. We break the process down into waves to minimize risk.

We minimize it as much as possible. For most workloads, we use live migration with Migrate for Compute Engine: the VM is replicated in real time, and the final cutover takes minutes. We schedule this during agreed-upon maintenance windows.

Generally, no. The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) in the cloud is typically 30–40% lower when you factor everything in: hardware, electricity, cooling, personnel, licenses, maintenance, and the risk of downtime. We conduct a free TCO analysis before getting started.

Yes. Many customers start with a hybrid model: part of the infrastructure on GCP and part on-premises, connected via Cloud VPN or Cloud Interconnect. You migrate at your own pace.

GCP supports Windows Server (2012 R2 and later), SQL Server, Active Directory, and .NET. You can bring your existing licenses (BYOL) or use Google's included licenses. You do not need to rewrite anything.
