Hosting Modernization Consulting
Your legacy hosting infrastructure is holding your team back. Shared hosting environments, manual deployments, and unpredictable performance create friction for developers and frustration for users. Drawing on experience leading hosting replatforms at Veeva - migrating enterprise applications serving millions of global users - we guide organizations through infrastructure transformations that unlock velocity, reliability, and cost savings.
Enterprise-Scale Experience
Led hosting replatforms at Veeva serving millions of healthcare professionals globally, managing complex migrations with zero downtime requirements.
Risk Mitigation
Comprehensive migration planning with rollback strategies, staged deployments, and continuous monitoring to ensure business continuity throughout the transition.
Cost Optimization
Right-size infrastructure for actual usage patterns, implement auto-scaling, and eliminate waste through cloud-native architectures that reduce hosting costs by 30-50%.
Performance Gains
Modernize from legacy shared hosting to containerized platforms with global CDN distribution, reducing page load times by 60-80% while improving reliability.
Team Enablement
Hands-on training and documentation ensure your team can confidently manage, monitor, and scale the new infrastructure independently.
Future-Proof Architecture
Build on cloud-native patterns that support modern development workflows, automated deployments, and seamless scaling as your organization grows.
From legacy constraints to modern flexibility
Most organizations inherit hosting decisions made years ago when requirements were different. That legacy shared hosting or aging data center infrastructure served its purpose, but today it creates bottlenecks: slow deployments, unpredictable performance, scaling limitations, and mounting technical debt.
Modern hosting infrastructure should be invisible to your team - automatically scaling during traffic spikes, deploying updates in minutes not hours, and providing instant insight into performance and costs. Whether you're moving from shared hosting to cloud platforms, consolidating multiple environments, or modernizing data center operations, the right migration strategy prevents disruption while unlocking new capabilities.
At Veeva, I led web engineering teams through complex hosting replatforms supporting mission-critical applications for pharmaceutical companies worldwide. These migrations required meticulous planning, staged rollouts, comprehensive testing, and close coordination across engineering, operations, and business teams. The experience taught valuable lessons about managing risk, maintaining performance during transitions, and ensuring teams can operate confidently on new platforms.
Our modernization approach
Infrastructure audit and strategy
We analyze current hosting configurations, traffic patterns, deployment workflows, and cost structures to identify opportunities and constraints. The audit produces a detailed migration roadmap with risk assessment, timeline, and success metrics.
Staged migration execution
Migrations happen in controlled phases with clear rollback points. We typically start with non-production environments, then gradually migrate production traffic using blue-green deployments or canary releases to minimize risk.
Monitoring and optimization
Post-migration, we establish comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and cost tracking. Performance baselines guide ongoing optimization, ensuring you realize projected improvements in speed, reliability, and efficiency.
Knowledge transfer
Your team receives hands-on training, runbooks, and documentation covering daily operations, troubleshooting, and scaling procedures. We don't disappear after launch - support continues until your team operates independently.
Common modernization paths
Shared hosting to cloud platforms
Move from restrictive shared hosting environments to flexible cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) with containerization, auto-scaling, and global CDN distribution.
Data center to cloud migration
Transition from on-premises data centers to cloud-native services, eliminating hardware maintenance while improving disaster recovery and global availability.
Platform consolidation
Consolidate multiple hosting providers or fragmented environments into unified infrastructure with consistent deployment pipelines, monitoring, and cost management.
