Create new business value from your existing applications, with expert guidance and partnership to modernize your software and environments. SiliconUnion can help you develop, run and maintain your applications more easily, by leveraging innovative new approaches such as containerization with Docker or Kubernetes, platform as a service (PaaS), and microservice-based architectures.Whether you are creating software for private, public or hybrid cloud, SiliconUnion offers complete services to enhance your development practices, automate deployment, and enable applications to run anywhere and at any scale.

Modernize and simplify the entire business application lifecycle, with professional services that guide you to leveraging industry-leading platforms as a service (PaaS). At SiliconUnion, we can help you modernize everything from web apps to enterprise applications, as well as the infrastructure and development tools beneath them, in a simple, scalable and efficient cloud environment.

SiliconUnion’s professional application modernization services enable you to:

• Adopt the right-fit PaaS platform with consultation to choose from major offerings such as IBM/MS/google/amazon Cloud, Openshift and Apprenda
• Reduce cost and complexity, by running your own PaaS infrastructure that removes the need for many software licenses
• Build your own PaaS environments with Docker and Kubernetes on public cloud platforms

As well as providing everything you need to develop, run and maintain your software in the cloud, SiliconUnion’s modern PaaS solutions can integrate business intelligence (BI) and analytics. So, if you need to analyze data from your cloud applications, reveal valuable insights and make faster, smarter business decisions, SiliconUnion’s comprehensive services can take you there.

The business advantages of digital transformation can only be realized when applications are built to capitalize on it. Legacy software may still run in the cloud ecosystem, but in order to leverage modern approaches such as containerization, microservices and continuous integration, you need a modern stack of applications and development tools.

SiliconUnion can partner with you to refactor and rebuild your applications as cloud-native software that meet your current and future goals. Our comprehensive services can help you:

• Optimize cloud resources with containerization, enabling each application to run in a small and secure ‘container’ rather than a resource-hungry virtual machine
• Enhance development and maintenance with a microservices-based approach that splits applications into efficient, scalable and reusable modules
• Take full advantage of cloud by embracing cloud-native development

If your legacy application stack is struggling to keep up with the data demands of today’s cloud apps and services, SiliconUnion’s refactoring services can improve availability and establish the right foundation for continuous improvement.

Not every workload is ready for migration to cloud, but with SiliconUnion it soon can be. The vast majority of cloud infrastructures run on Linux, the open-source operating system, and x86-based system architecture. However, legacy business applications and databases that were built for UNIX systems, including Solaris, HPUX and AIX, must be re-platformed before they can run in the cloud.

SiliconUnion offers complete re-platforming services to support your Transformation to cloud, so you can:

• Easily migrate complex databases such as Oracle, with proven tools and automated processes
• Simplify migration away from UNIX systems, so you can take advantage of the cost-efficiency, scalability and wider software choices of x86
• Re-platform critical data without risk, with pre-testing of re-platforming processes in a sandbox environment

Whether you are digitally transforming your UNIX data center into a hybrid cloud environment or taking advantage of the scale and simplicity of public cloud by migrating legacy workloads, SIliconUnion has the experience and trusted methods to help you prepare with confidence.

Having the right cloud strategy, and making the right decisions on cloud infrastructure and workloads, are vital to keeping your business competitive. If you need guidance on any cloud-centric decision, SiliconUnion’s experienced team of cloud computing experts are here to provide independent advice and tailored, end-to-end solutions.

We offer a comprehensive range of consulting services designed to help you assess your existing environments, select the best infrastructure for the next stage of your digital transformation, identify workloads that could run better in the cloud, and optimize your cloud mix for maximum efficiency.
