When we speak with clients about Cloud Solutions for their business, many times we are asked “Will we be able to run our legacy applications in the cloud?” The answer is yes, the cloud actually preserves legacy applications. Typically legacy applications are software programs that have been specifically developed or customized to the needs of that business, like a financial reporting system or inventory system. The business has invested a lot of time and money in developing these systems and they are critical to the business. At the same time, these systems critical to company operations also put the business at risk if the technology fails. For example, the legacy application may only run on an outdated server platform that cannot be upgraded at this time due to compatibility issues and cost. Here 10 additional reasons why it is good to move your legacy applications into the cloud. In The Cloud, we can preserve legacy applications by taking a “snapshot” of the server and application then placing it on a virtualized system in the Cloud. This allows the business to retain the legacy applications on new hardware while maintaining their software platform. By moving legacy applications into The Cloud a business can actually reduce their expense and risk of anything going wrong with the applications themselves due to the redundancy that the server is running on; virtually protecting those applications. Ultimately, legacy applications are ideal candidates to be moved into the cloud. Sun Digital has been helping businesses get into The Cloud for 5 years.
