Our cloud services
Migration / Rehost
We can immediately start leveraging the agility and scale of thecloud by migrating existing applications. This lift-and-shifttechnique can be for either a part or a whole application andcan be completed with minimal application disruption.
Already in the cloud? We can seamlessly move your current
workload to a newer, more optimally placed region or a different
public cloud provider altogether.
Replatform
Without changing the core architecture of an application, we areable to make cloud-centric optimisations to capitalise on theoperational cost savings while migrating it to the cloud. These
optimisations also work as application improvements.

Rearchitect
By redesigning legacy applications as cloud native, they inherit cloud characteristics that quickly make themhighly available, highly-scalable and cost-effective. This more complex service allows an organisation to moreeasily add capacity and manage service costs.

Building in the cloud
IaaS
Infrastructure-as-a-Service entails cloud infrastructure services which are used foraccessing, monitoring and managing remote datacentre infrastructures for storage,
networking and networking services. BBD is able to design and implement an infrastructure
for the cloud which is responsible for managing applications, data, runtime, middlewareand operating systems.

SaaS

We offer Software-as-a-Service solutions which utilise the power of the web and cloud toprovide software that can be run directly from a web browser, eliminating the need for
applications to be individually downloaded onto individual computers. This is softwaredevelopment for the cloud.

PaaS

Platform-as-a-Service is used to reduce the amount of code necessary for applications
while simultaneously providing cloud components to software. PaaS is useful as it allows us
to use the cloud as a platform off which to develop and customise applications. These
cloud platform services can be delivered in a hybrid cloud environment and allow for quick
and cost-effective development, testing and deployment. The resultant software inherits
cloud characteristics including scalability, high-availability and multi-tenancy.
