Cloud Repatriation Services
Reverse your cloud migration.
We help our customers repatriate (relocate) their applications from the public cloud (AWS, GCP, and Azure) to their premises or private clouds.Why would you repatriate from the cloud? Our customers have three main drivers: cost, performance, and compliance. Additional benefits include enhanced control, security, and vendor flexibility.
Cost Reduction/Predictability
Everyone hates bill shock, but it doesn't have to be a fact of life. Not every application requires elastic computing, and many run more affordably on-premises — even with new hardware investments. For example, mature SAAS applications with consistent traffic load and predictable growth. Read how Hey is saving $7m from their cloud exit.
Performance Optimisation
Certain applications simply perform better on-premises. By localising resources, companies can achieve a level of optimisation that cloud services often cannot match, even with dedicated cloud infrastructure. Dropbox is a prime example of this, having shifted a substantial amount of their operations back to their data centres to achieve greater control and efficiency.
Governance & Compliance
Sometimes, the cloud is no longer viable. For example, banks and healthcare providers often face rigorous regulation frameworks such as GDPR, SOX, and PCI-DSS. Compliance is often easier to achieve with on-premises infrastructure. Bank of America chose to keep critical applications on-premises to save costs, control data sovereignty, and meet their specific compliance standards.
Liberate Your Applications
How it works.
Our team is highly skilled in public, private, and hybrid cloud deployments. You can trust us to safely repatriate your applications to your premises.There are two deployment options: Lift & Unshift, where we migrate your application with minimal changes, and Unifactor, where we first refactor your application to make it more portable via containerisation, automation, and other principles.
Just the Facts
Lift & Unshift.
We work with your team to move your cloud application back to your on-premises environment, with minimal architectural changes. This typically involves manually deploying the application on your servers, while replacing networking configuration, database systems, and key cloud services.
The bells & whistles
Unifactor.
We spend more time with your team to ensure your application is fully portable. First, we containerise your application via Kubernetes. Then we replace all cloud-native services with universal alternatives. Finally, we automate the deployment on your environment with your own orchestration platform.
Don't Get Us Wrong
We love public cloud.
We think public cloud is fantastic, and we use it ourselves. But it's not a silver bullet for every use case. Sometimes, you need to bring applications back to your premises or adopt a hybrid cloud strategy.
