Modernize Mission-Critical Infrastructure
Mission-critical systems require a modernization strategy that improves agility, security, and efficiency without compromising reliability.
Sumo Networks helps organizations modernize IBM i, AIX, IBM Power, x86 environments, telecommunications platforms, and business applications through automation, AI, cloud adoption, cybersecurity, and managed services.

Modernization Framework
A structured, five-stage path that keeps your systems running while your infrastructure evolves. Select a stage to see what it produces.
Assess
We inventory what you actually run — hardware, OS levels, support status, dependencies and the undocumented integrations nobody wants to touch. The output is a current-state picture your own team recognizes as accurate.
- Environment inventory and support-status matrix
- Risk and single-point-of-failure register
- Business objectives and constraints documented
- Gap analysis against the target state
Plan
Sequencing matters more than ambition. The work is phased so each stage stands on its own and nothing depends on a single big-bang cutover weekend.
- Phased roadmap with dependencies mapped
- Budget, licensing and hardware view
- Statement of Work per phase
- Success criteria and rollback positions
Secure
Security is established before migration rather than bolted on afterward. Access, auditing and recovery become the baseline the rest of the programme is built on.
- Access control and privileged account review
- Backup and recovery validated by restore test
- Audit logging and evidence collection
- Governance and change control process
Modernize
Execution inside agreed windows, with a tested fallback at every step. Your team knows what is happening and when, and the business keeps running through it.
- OS upgrades and hardware refresh
- Platform and cloud migration
- HA/DR implementation and failover testing
- Application and interface modernization
Optimize
The programme does not end at cutover. Under managed service the environment stays monitored, tuned and current, with the knowledge held in documentation rather than in one person's memory.
- 24×7 monitoring and alerting
- Performance tuning and capacity planning
- Patch, PTF and lifecycle management
- Quarterly service reviews
