IT infrastructure modernization

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

5 signs that your infrastructure needs modernization

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

High fixed costs — You pay for hardware that is only used 20% of the time 90% of the time, but you need 100% power during peak load.

Slow scaling — Scaling up takes weeks to purchase, install, and configure. In the cloud, it takes minutes.

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

Insufficient security — Unimplemented security patches, outdated firewalls, no real-time threat monitoring.

Artificial intelligence cannot be used — Your infrastructure does not support machine learning workloads or provide access to models like Gemini or Vertex AI .

3 migration strategies — we choose the right one for you

Not all workloads are migrated the same. We evaluate each application and choose the strategy that offers the best cost-benefit ratio:

Lift & Shift

Fast and low risk

We'll bring your application to Compute Engine as is. No code changes. Same operating system, same architecture, but on Google's infrastructure.

Ideal for: legacy applications that work well but need better infrastructure.

Re-platform

Optimized for the cloud

Partial migration and customization: moving a database to Cloud SQL , using Cloud Storage instead of NFS, or containerizing for GKE. Minimal changes, big impact.

Ideal for: applications that use traditional databases or local disk storage.

Re-architect

Cloud-native

Build with Cloud Run , Cloud Functions, and Pub/Sub services. Serverless microservices architecture that scales automatically and you only pay for what you use.

Ideal for: monolithic applications that require scalability or that will become a long-term business foundation.

How we do it — step by step

Each modernization project follows a proven process with clear milestones:

Assessment and planning

We take inventory of your current infrastructure: servers, applications, dependencies, data. We determine what to migrate, in what order and with what strategy. We estimate costs and timeline.

Landing Zone on Google Cloud Platform

We build your “landing zone”: project structure, VPC, IAM, security policies, connection to your current network (Cloud VPN or Interconnect). A solid foundation on which everything else is built.

Migration in waves

We don't migrate everything at once. We start with low-risk workloads to validate the process and move forward in waves until the migration is complete. Without disrupting operations.

Optimization and operation

After migration, we optimize: rightsizing virtual machines, CUDs, autoscaling, monitoring, notifications. If desired, we can transition to managed services for continuous operation.

Google Cloud vs. on-premises infrastructure — a real comparison

	Google Cloud	On-premise
Initial investment	No investment — pay for use	Hardware + licenses + data center
Scaling	Minutes (auto-scaling)	Weeks (purchase + installation)
Accessibility	99.99% SLA with benefits	Depends on your team
Security	Encryption by default + 800+ verification measures	Manual, your responsibility
Disaster recovery	Built-in multi-region replication	Second data center (double cost)
AI and ML	Vertex AI , Gemini , BigQuery ML	Expensive GPUs + in-house know-how

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the scale. A small environment (5-10 VMs) can be migrated in 2-4 weeks. More complex environments with databases, integrations, and legacy applications can take 2-4 months. We break it down into waves to reduce risk.

We minimize this as much as possible. For most workloads, we use live migration with Migrate for Compute Engine: the virtual machine is replicated in real time and the final switchover takes only minutes. We schedule it into agreed maintenance windows.

Generally not. The TCO (total cost of ownership) of the cloud is typically 30-40% lower when you consider everything: hardware, electricity, cooling, staff, licenses, maintenance, and downtime risk. We provide a free TCO analysis before you get started.

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

Google Cloud supports Windows Server (since 2012 R2), SQL Server, Active Directory, and .NET. You can bring your own licenses (BYOL) or use the licenses provided by Google. There's no need to rewrite anything.
