Power Your Innovation: Modernize with Azure!
Cloud 9 helps US organizations move legacy applications to Azure and rebuild them for speed, security and lower running costs. We assess each app, recommend the right path (rehost, replatform, refactor or rebuild) and deliver it end to end, then stay on to monitor and optimize what we build. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Digital & App Innovation, our team works across Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Functions, Azure SQL and Azure DevOps.
This is for you if:
• Core apps run on aging servers or software nearing end of support
• Releases are slow because every change needs manual infrastructure work
• Infrastructure costs keep rising while the apps stay the same
• Security reviews keep flagging the same legacy systems

Security Vulnerabilities
Businesses today face multiple challenges including the high costs of maintaining legacy systems, the complexity of managing diverse infrastructures, and the pressing need for rapid innovation. Security vulnerabilities and environmental sustainability are also growing concerns that need immediate and effective solutions.
Build a cloud application with a range of Azure services
Azure caters to every aspect of modern applications. From infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that allows you full control over operating systems during cloud migration, to Containers for managing and scaling applications effortlessly. Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) offloads management of infrastructure, allowing you to focus on rapid deployment and innovation.
Azure supports all approaches and business priorities
Control
Many apps can migrate with minimal or no required changes
Simplicity
Retain full control over the operating system in a cloud migration
Manage and scale containerized applications with ease
Offload infrastructure and operating system management to the cloud
Create modern line of business apps with minimal coding

Shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality
Legacy apps slow releases, raise costs and widen security gaps. Azure PaaS takes infrastructure management off your team so developers can focus on the apps.
Unblock

Control costs and optimize scarce developer talent
Integrate
security
Empower all developers to incorporate security, resiliency, and scalability
With Azure, use familiar tools and frameworks like .NET, Java, Python, and Node on both Windows and Linux platforms. Our robust partner ecosystem, including VMWare and Red Hat, ensures seamless migration and maximization of your existing investments.
Azure integrates security and compliance into its core services: Azure App Service, empowering developers to build secure and resilient applications. Services like Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Defender fortify your applications against threats
Automatically creates and maintains critical web app features such as load balancers and storage volumes.
Build robust deployment pipelines with a variety of CI tools like GitHub and Azure DevOps.
React to traffic loads with autoscale. Perform traffic routing and load-balancing through Azure Front Door
Deploy isolated web app instances with App Service Environment v3 to enforce external network access policies.

It is the process of moving existing applications to Azure and updating how they are built and run, from hosting them on virtual machines to rebuilding them on containers or fully managed platform services. The goal is faster releases, lower running costs and stronger security.
We start with an assessment of each application, its dependencies and its business value. Stable apps that just need new hosting are often rehosted; apps that can move to a managed platform with small code changes are replatformed; apps that need deeper code changes are refactored; apps that no longer fit the business are rebuilt or replaced.
We modernize apps built on .NET, Java, Python and Node.js, on both Windows and Linux, using Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Container Apps, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB and Azure DevOps or GitHub for delivery.
Security is built in from the first sprint: identity through Microsoft Entra ID, policy guardrails through Azure Policy and threat protection through Microsoft Defender, plus encryption and access controls set during preparation.
We monitor performance with Azure Monitor and Application Insights, tune costs and handle patching and disaster recovery planning. Ongoing support can continue under our managed services.
