“We allow them to do that with our container technology. They can generate cap files. They can create images that can be used for test and dev images or load balancing if the application is the same across multiple servers. So that’s all part of it. And because we provide a structured approach for rollover, they can then do a plan decommissioning of these old servers”
Today’s rapidly changing technology ecosystem requires help moving vital business applications from out-of-date and unsupported infrastructure. Due to the substantial operational inefficiencies, security threats, and compliance problems these outdated systems present, firms risk security breaches and even non-compliance fines. Although modernizing these legacy servers can be complex, it is more necessary than ever.
VirtaMove is essential to overcoming these obstacles. Leading innovator in the IT sector, VirtaMove helps businesses with the challenging process of moving important legacy apps to safe, new platforms. VirtaMove was founded to address and reduce the risks related to outmoded infrastructure. To this end, the company uses leading-edge artificial intelligence (AI)-driven migration technologies to facilitate smooth transitions for organizations in a range of industries.
VirtaMove is ideally positioned to assist clients in addressing critical security flaws and updating crucial old programs. Studies reveal that over 30% of security lapses in IT systems are related to programs executing on out-of-date and unsupported servers and operating systems. Customers can relearn and migrate important Windows and Linux applications, together with their dependencies, to safe modern virtual machines (VMs) and cloud instances without reprogramming thanks to VirtaMove’s exclusive, patented container software and AI technologies. VirtaMove calls this special set of tools and resources “Migration Intelligence.”
VirtaMove’s Migration Intelligence offers unique software solutions as well as training and consulting services. With AI, these solutions enable users to retain legacy applications and move them to modern, safe, and scalable servers—whether in the cloud or on-premises virtual machines (VMs)—resulting in improved security and operational effectiveness.
VirtaMove sets itself apart with its cutting-edge AI tools and proprietary containerization technology. These solutions do not require installation scripts or source code, making it easier to move delicate old applications. With VirtaMove, clients can test and operate older apps in secure containers, guaranteeing comprehensive verification before the final cutover without interfering with the operation of live servers. The multiple failure points inherent in operating system upgrades on susceptible legacy servers are successfully addressed by this method.
Customers who are having trouble with IT audits and compliance because they are using unsupported legacy servers to operate vital operational applications have become big fans of VirtaMove. The security risks associated with legacy applications running on antiquated operating systems are especially critical in regulated industries including government, healthcare, insurance, and financial services. All institutions and industries, however, are vulnerable and can gain from VirtaMove’s offerings. Over sixty million servers are thought to be running critical applications on unsupported servers and operating systems worldwide.
VirtaMove constantly innovates its core patented software to keep a competitive advantage. The business works directly with clients to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in legacy systems. Compared to manual upgrades, VirtaMove software offers a ten-fold boost in migration productivity. Ten legacy servers can be converted to new, secure servers each month by a qualified engineer who will also test and apply the changes. Customers that have a large number of apps and servers to move can purchase an unlimited annual subscription. VirtaMove’s customer-centric approach gives them a persistent competitive advantage.
The case study of Alaska Airlines serves as a noteworthy illustration of the influence of VirtaMove. This partnership demonstrates the advantages and fruitful results attained by using VirtaMove’s solutions. A senior level problem involving 100 Windows 2003-running legacy servers existed at Alaska Airlines. VirtaMove made it possible to migrate to new servers quickly and securely while maintaining operational effectiveness and compliance.
“We allow them to do that with our container technology. They can generate cap files.

And because we provide a structured approach for rollover, they can then do a plan decommissioning of these old servers,” stated Nigel W. Stokes – Co-Founder & CEO of VirtaMove.
In the future, VirtaMove intends to leverage a dual strategy of patent and software licensing. With the use of containerization and AI tools, clients will be able to overcome the security and legacy issues that arise from running vital operational applications on unsecured and vulnerable servers and operating systems.
VirtaMove is still dedicated to giving businesses the tools they need to update their IT infrastructure in a safe and effective manner. VirtaMove continues to create industry standards and spur innovation in the IT sector by leveraging novel artificial intelligence and containerization technologies to overcome the challenges associated with migrating legacy applications.
