Enterprises want to be “cloud-first.” However, the majority of business-critical applications are locked in the datacenter, and cloud-native development often depends on these traditional applications.

The result is a lack of agility that slows innovation.

Typical clouds were built for new, cloud-native development, forcing customers to rewrite their traditional applications before migrating.

These projects cost millions of dollars and years to complete.

Once in Skytap Cloud, our customers innovate faster by building and running hybrid applications that combine traditional components with cloud-native services.

Skytap Cloud’s approach to modernization preserves your investment in these critical applications, while enabling you to leverage the new cloud services required to meet tomorrow’s business needs.
