Modernisation · platform foundation

From tin box to a platform that grows with you.

Servers idling 90 % of the time tie up capital and attention. We move your workloads into virtualisation and containers — in the order that reduces risk instead of creating it.

Four stages, no leaps

Not every application belongs in a container. We determine the right stage per workload — and stop where going further adds no value.

1

Bare metal → VM

Physical servers get virtualised. Hardware dependency disappears, snapshots and failover become possible — without touching the application.

2

Lift-and-shift

VMs move unchanged into a modern virtualisation or cloud environment. Fast, predictable, with a clear way back.

3

Replatform → containers

The application is containerised and run on OpenShift or Kubernetes. Deployments become repeatable, scaling automatic.

4

Refactor where it pays off

Only where there is a benefit: externalise state, separate services, move configuration out. No refactoring for its own sake.

What we actually do

dns

Virtualisation & hypervisor

VMware, Hyper-V, KVM or OpenShift Virtualization. Consolidating oversized hardware, sizing to real demand, high availability without buying everything twice.

deployed_code

Containerisation

Building images, maintaining base images, multi-stage builds, registry and signing. Containers that build reproducibly and don't surprise you at every update.

hub

OpenShift & Kubernetes

Cluster design, networking, ingress, storage classes, multi-tenancy and quotas. Set up so it still holds in two years — on-prem or in the cloud.

database

Persistence & state

The hardest part: databases, file stores and sessions. Persistent volumes, operators, backup and restore — tested, not assumed.

security

Security & compliance

Image scanning, secrets management, network policies, pod security and role-based access. Demonstrable, not merely claimed.

settings_suggest

Automation & operations

Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure, Helm or GitOps for workloads, monitoring and alerting on top. Operations that don't depend on individuals.

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY DELIVERS
30–60 %

lower infrastructure cost through consolidation and demand-based sizing.

0

weekend maintenance windows. Rolling deployments instead of planned outages.

Minutes

instead of days until a new environment is up — reproducible from code.

3×

deployment locations to choose from: your own data centre, the Swiss cloud or a hyperscaler — without rebuilding.

Technologies

Chosen vendor-neutrally, to fit the problem.
