Solve Outdated IT Costs and Downtime

Legacy systems come with high maintenance costs, and they simply aren’t built to scale as your business grows. Security risks and system vulnerabilities also increase your vulnerability to cyber threats. Additionally, downtime and slow performance cause disruptions that lead to lost productivity, ultimately affecting your bottom line. It’s frustrating, and it’s hard to stay competitive when your infrastructure is constantly limiting what you can do.

At Codewave, we specialize in helping businesses upgrade from legacy on-premise systems to modern, scalable cloud infrastructure. Migrating to the cloud reduces the high costs of maintaining physical servers and minimizes the risks associated with downtime. With a pay-as-you-go model, you only pay for the resources you actually use, enabling you to control and optimize your operational expenses.

We use reliable tools like AWS Migration Hub and Azure Migrate to ensure a smooth transition. These platforms help us assess your current infrastructure, design a customized migration plan, and identify the best approach to minimize downtime. We also implement cloud-based security frameworks to safeguard your data against cyber threats and ensure adherence to industry regulations.

With Codewave, you’ll achieve a more efficient IT environment, reduce costs, and boost system performance.

Migrate to Cloud for Faster Growth and Cost Savings

Outdated systems cost businesses 5-10% in lost productivity annually. Our cloud migration services reduce operational costs, improve system performance, and provide the scalability needed to support your growth, ensuring your business stays competitive.

When businesses rush into migration without understanding their infrastructure, they risk major disruptions. Moving applications blindly can lead to missed dependencies, data loss, and costly downtime, especially with critical systems. These mistakes can set your business back for days or even weeks.

We start by assessing your current infrastructure. Using AWS Application Discovery Service, CloudEndure, and Azure Migrate, we map every server, application, and dependency. This gives us a clear view of your IT environment, enabling us to develop the best migration strategy and provide a cost analysis, so you know exactly what to expect.

Your IT team will receive a roadmap outlining which applications move first, what stays connected, and the expected downtime—no guesswork, no surprises.

Example: A manufacturing company will undergo an infrastructure assessment that uncovers overlooked systems, including legacy applications running critical reports. By identifying these early, we ensure they’re migrated in the correct order, preventing disruptions to operations. This proactive approach eliminates downtime during peak production and ensures a smooth cloud transition.

Most legacy applications weren’t built for the cloud. Moving them without changes just shifts the same issues, such as inefficiencies and high costs, into a more expensive environment, without fully taking advantage of the cloud’s scalability and performance benefits.

First, we analyze your applications with AWS App2Container to identify which ones can be containerized directly. Then we use Docker to package everything so your apps run consistently across any environment. For complex applications, we refactor them with microservices architecture using Spring Boot and Node.js.

The result? Your applications start faster, scale automatically, and use only the resources they need. Your users get better performance while you pay less for infrastructure.

For Example, a logistics company’s old inventory system took forever to generate reports and crashed every busy season. After containerization and breaking it into smaller services, reports generate instantly. During peak traffic, the system automatically adds more containers to handle the load without anyone touching it.

Data migration is where many businesses face challenges. The risk of losing customer records or having databases go out of sync can severely impact your business.

We ensure a smooth migration using AWS Database Migration Service for zero-downtime transfers, keeping your databases live while they are moved to the cloud. Azure Data Factory manages your data pipelines, ensuring synchronization throughout the transition. For file storage, we use AWS DataSync to transfer data while maintaining permissions and access controls securely.

Your data remains accessible at all times. Your team can keep working, customers can continue buying, and nothing is lost in the process.

Example: A growing e-commerce company will migrate its large customer database and daily transactions to the cloud without interrupting sales. The live database will sync with the cloud version, with the switch happening during a brief, scheduled maintenance window at night. Customers won’t notice any downtime, and sales will continue processing smoothly.

Moving to the cloud doesn’t mean losing control of your security. In fact, it should make everything more secure if done right.

We use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to precisely control access, ensuring only authorized users can access sensitive data or systems. Azure Active Directory integrates seamlessly with your existing user management, providing a single, streamlined authentication process. All data is encrypted with AWS KMS or Azure Key Vault, ensuring it’s protected both while in transit and at rest, so your business is safeguarded from cyber threats and compliance risks.

For Example, A healthcare company will move to the cloud, automating security compliance. Their cloud infrastructure will automatically pass compliance checks, eliminating frequent security breaches they faced on-premise. Annual audits, once taking weeks, will be completed in days, and data encryption will occur automatically without requiring manual IT intervention.

Migration doesn’t end once your applications are running in the cloud. In fact, that’s just the beginning. After migration, we focus on optimizing performance to ensure your systems run efficiently, scale easily, and deliver better results than ever before.

We use CloudWatch and Azure Monitor to track system performance in real-time, ensuring smooth operations. With New Relic, we gain insights into your applications, identifying and fixing bottlenecks before they affect users. We also configure auto-scaling groups to automatically adjust your infrastructure during traffic spikes, so your systems handle demand without manual intervention.

The result? Your systems will perform faster and more reliably than on-premise. When traffic surges, your infrastructure scales instantly to meet demand. When traffic drops, you only pay for what you use—no unnecessary costs.

Example: After optimization, your SaaS application will perform better. When featured on a major platform and traffic surges, auto-scaling will manage the spike within minutes. Unlike your old infrastructure, which might have crashed, the cloud will keep your systems running smoothly, supporting thousands of new customers. You’ll only pay for extra capacity during peak traffic, ensuring cost efficiency while improving the user experience.

Many on-premise backup systems are unreliable and reactive, often failing when you need them the most. However, cloud offers a proactive, reliable solution that ensures your data is always protected and accessible, even during emergencies.

We set up automated backups with AWS Backup and Azure Site Recovery, ensuring your critical systems are replicated across multiple regions. Recovery procedures are regularly tested, so your business is always prepared—no waiting until disaster strikes.

In the event of a failure, your business continues running. Recovery times go from hours to minutes, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your data is securely protected.

Example: If a retail company implements seamless disaster recovery and business continuity. The website, which previously struggled during high-traffic sale events, will automatically scale to handle traffic surges. With optimized monitoring and auto-scaling, the system will detect spikes and add server capacity instantly, allowing thousands of customers to shop without slowdowns, even during peak periods.
