Key features
Craft the right data center migration plan for your business
From assessment to optimization, RAMP helps you navigate your data center migration to cloud more quickly and simply than you thought.
Rehost: lift and shift
Perform your app migration to Google Cloud without making changes to the platform or apps. Move or extend your on-premises VMware workloads with VMware Engine. Bring specialized workloads like Oracle with our Bare Metal Solution. Or shift your databases from on-premises to Google Cloud. All help you maintain continuity with existing tools and policies and unify management across environments.
Replatform: lift and optimize
Migrate applications and workloads without rewriting or changing them, simply running them on a new cloud-native platform. Move VM-based workloads from on-premises hypervisors or other clouds directly into Compute Engine with Migrate to Virtual Machines and optimize with Recommenders and Cost Management, helping maximize performance, scale, and cost efficiency across your cloud.
Refactor: move and improve
Convert existing applications and workloads to run on modern form factors without modifying code. Take apps running on VMs and automatically transform them into containers in GKE with Migrate to Containers. Transform existing databases into Cloud Spanner or upgrade your data warehouse to BigQuery. And achieve maximum density and performance for your workloads with cloud-native solutions.
Continue to modernize
As your business grows, so will your cloud. Use Anthos, our modern application platform for your business, to manage and maintain the architecture that works for you, migrate mainframe applications, rewrite existing apps or create new apps using serverless technologies like Cloud Functions and Cloud Run, and augment existing apps with new cloud-native evolutions for maximum effect.
