Cloud Migration & Modernization Services
Migrate legacy applications and databases to the cloud with zero downtime. We modernize legacy monoliths, re-platform databases, and optimize cloud architectures for maximum speed and cost efficiency.
The 6 R’s Cloud Migration Strategy
We evaluate your application portfolio against AWS and Azure best-practice 6R strategies to select the fastest, lowest-risk, and most cost-effective path.
Rehost (Lift & Shift)
Moving existing on-premise VMs and databases directly into AWS EC2 or Azure VMs with minimal architectural code modifications.
Replatform (Lift & Reshape)
Upgrading underlying OS and moving databases to managed cloud services (AWS RDS Aurora / Azure SQL) without altering core business logic.
Refactor (Re-Architect)
Re-engineering legacy monoliths into cloud-native microservices, containerized Kubernetes apps, and serverless functions.
Repurchase (Drop & Shop)
Replacing custom non-differentiating legacy modules (e.g. email servers, basic helpdesks) with modern SaaS platforms.
Retire (Decommission)
Auditing server fleets to identify and shut down redundant, legacy, or unused applications and database instances.
Retain (Hybrid Cloud Encapsulation)
Keeping strict compliance or latency-critical hardware on-premises while wrapping them with secure cloud API gateways.
When Tailored Cloud-Native Modernization Beats Blind Lift-and-Shift Tools
Automated lift-and-shift migration scripts replicate on-prem inefficiencies directly into the cloud, resulting in astronomical compute bills, unmanaged idle VMs, and zero architectural resilience. Custom cloud modernization restructures workloads into elastic, cost-efficient cloud-native powerhouses.
Enterprise SLA & Reliability Audit
Compare standard shared-cloud outage risks against dedicated engineering SLAs.
Multi-region redundant failover across your chosen cloud infrastructure.
Direct senior engineer escalation path instead of tiered ticket queues.
Dedicated encryption keys, automated penetration testing, and compliance logs.
Cloud Migration Case Studies
Three organizations that achieved zero downtime, 40%+ hosting cost savings, and 99.99% availability with Syntor IT.
BankCore: Legacy Mainframe to AWS Cloud Migration
Aging on-premise hardware with high licensing costs and vulnerability to local data center power outages.
Executed a zero-downtime database and application migration to AWS using Terraform IaC, AWS Aurora multi-AZ databases, and containerized ECS services.
Comprehensive Cloud Migration Capabilities
From initial cloud readiness assessment and Terraform automation to zero-downtime database cutovers and post-migration FinOps.
Legacy Monolith Re-Architecture
Decomposing legacy on-premise monoliths into microservices and containerized applications on AWS/Azure.
Zero-Downtime Database Migration
Migrating legacy SQL Server and Oracle databases to cloud-native PostgreSQL, Aurora, and Cosmos DB with live data replication.
Lift-and-Shift & Replatforming
Rapid transition of existing VMs and server environments to modern cloud infrastructure with automated networking.
Serverless & Cloud-Native Modernization
Transforming expensive persistent servers into event-driven serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) to cut costs.
Cloud Security & Compliance Hardening
Implementing IAM least-privilege policies, VPC peering, KMS encryption, and automated compliance auditing.
Post-Migration Optimization & FinOps
Continuous cloud cost optimization, auto-scaling configuration, and 24/7 telemetry monitoring.
