Application Modernisation Wrap
The Application Modernisation Wrap Service is a solution offered by Cenitex to allow customers to uplift legacy applications, hosted on old, often unsupported versions of Microsoft Windows Server Operating Systems.
The uplift is done by safely re-platforming the application to another Windows server running a more recent OS version.
The solution is deployed by capturing and packaging the legacy application and associated system dependencies into a self-contained logical package, allowing it to run transparently on the new Windows Server OS, whether on the VicGov Private Cloud, Public Cloud or any other hosting location.
Application Packaging features
The application compatibility packaging service is a solution provided by Cenitex in partnership with a third-party technology partner.
It aims to extend the product lifecycle of legacy applications running on outdated Microsoft Server Operating Systems (Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2012) by safely redeploying them in the latest Windows versions available in the market.
