Application
Modernisation

Application Modernisation is the process by which applications can be brought up-to-date either in terms of their architecture, their languages and frameworks, or their deployment.

In what ways can you modernise your applications?

Architecture

Organizations are increasingly looking to refactor their legacy monolith applications to a microservices-based architecture where the monolith is replaced by smaller, discrete services which can be tested, deployed and scaled independently.

Architecture and Design

Languages & Frameworks

Classic Java and .NET applications can be enhanced or replaced using modern, cloud-native frameworks such as Spring Boot and Quarkus. Developers are also increasingly looking to use the frameworks provided by their preferred cloud provider, such as AWS Lambda functions.

Languages and Frameworks

Cloud Migration

With the obvious cost and environmental benefits of the cloud, organisations are increasingly looking to migrate applications out of the data center onto cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.

Organisations are also increasingly interested in container technology, which offers a relatively quick way to partially “modernise” applications, so they can leverage cloud benefits without having to recode or rebuild. See our Cloud Migration page for more details.

How Tier 2 can help

Modernisation & Migration Planning

Tier 2 will review target workloads and applications, to determine the optimal approach for modernisation.

Upgrades & migrations

Application Modernisation & Migration

Tier 2 can help with all modernisation and migration options, from re-hosting onto a cloud platform, through to re-factoring using the latest architecture and frameworks.

In the simplest re-hosting approach, Tier 2 will create container images of applications and configuration objects, create and refine deployment pipelines, and assist in the planning of data migration and regression testing efforts.

Kubernetes Cluster Planning and Implementation

Tier 2 can help you design your optimal container environment by:

  • Understanding overall containerisation goals;
  • Reviewing specific requirements, such as public/private/hybrid cloud, storage, networking and identity management;
  • Considering security, high availability, logging monitoring and alerting.

Tier 2 can install and configure production and non-production kubernetes clusters, including storage solution, additional networking components, identity management, and logging, monitoring and alerting.
