The Challenge

Your business depends on legacy apps. Unfortunately, legacy apps are often difficult to support, inefficient, and maybe out of compliance since they still run on an unsupported operating system. How do you move forward, when the experts who built the legacy app are gone. You likely don’t have the time, budget, or technical expertise to overhaul all your legacy apps? If you have hundreds of servers running old apps, the scale of the problem is overwhelming. You can’t afford the business disruption that goes with modernizing, so the problem persists year after year.
How do you move forward in a way that’s practical and cost effective, and deals with the problem at scale?
How do you buy time for a structured redevelopment project that will bridge the gap to modern, secure, and efficient?
Can you squeeze more life out of your legacy system to get your business to a better place now?

Key Benefits of the VirtaMove Solution

Save Time & Effort

Re-installing applications takes months to plan, execute, and test. You might not know which applications are running on which servers, whether apps are being used or not, or even have original install media. Our automated legacy Windows Server & Linux application migration tool lets you discover all your apps and servers immediately, select only the apps you want to move to minimize your footprint, capture all application dependencies in a container, and modernize in hours versus months.

Close Security Exposures

Data breaches and ransomware incidents hurt your brand and your bottom line. Malware hacks rely on well known and exploited security exposures in WS2003 and WS2008. If you’re running applications on old Windows systems, move your software application stacks to modern, secure WS2012, WS2016, and WS2019 systems to eliminate malware exposures. Our automated legacy Windows Server & Linux applications migration tool can help you get to modern and secure in a fraction of the time, cost, and effort.

Defer Re-Development

Get great returns now from moving old applications to new, faster, secure servers and new OSs. Defer costs associated with re-developing, remediating, or re-platforming an application by extending its useful life with our automated Windows Server application migration tool. Buy time to properly plan and implement re-development over time as needed, and perform full re-development later. You’re not forced into application re-development just because you want to run on modern servers.

Evolve Your App

Moving an old app to a new OS and a new, faster server extends its useful life. It provides an evolutionary path forward for the application, without committing big IT budget on re-development and licensing. Running older applications on a fresh, greenfield OS instance means you don’t have to track complex patch levels on legacy OS instances. It means you can take advantage of cutting edge DevOps tools to monitor and manage the modern OS in the cloud, and easily scale to meet demand.

Application owners have highly customized applications that are no longer supported by the original ISV and sitting on out of warranty hardware in EOL 2003 Win Server Operating Systems. VirtaMove gives them an opportunity, the only option, to resolve 2 out of 3 of these compliance issues without completely changing their applications; the VirtaMove tool is awesome.

We have several legacy applications that cannot be upgraded as is and still living on Window 2003 servers. We had to find an immediate solution to keep these applications compliant for support purposes. VirtaMove was the only solution we could find. They have been quick to help us as we work through each application.

We were able to migrate a legacy Microsoft app from the PBC datacenter to the cloud, in under an hour… it would have taken 1 to 2 weeks without VirtaMove.

VirtaMove made our Windows 2003 upgrade project very easy. Their technical knowledge and focus on delivery was very impressive; I look forward to working with them to upgrade our Windows 2008 fleet.
