Database Modernization

Unlock Speed, Scale, and Cost Efficiency  

CNET Global | Migrate, Optimize, and Future-Proof Your Data Infrastructure

Legacy Databases Consume 40% of IT Budgets on Maintenance

Outdated systems slow innovation with rigid schemas, costly licenses, and manual tuning. CNET Global’s Database Modernization Services transform legacy databases (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2) into agile, cloud-native enginesboosting performance, slashing costs, and enabling AI-driven analytics

The Cost of Stagnation

65%

slower query performance vs. cloud-native databases (Forrester).

$2.8M/year

wasted on overprovisioned legacy hardware and licenses.

58%

of breaches exploit unpatched legacy database vulnerabilities.

Our Modernization Framework

Assessment & Planning

Workload Analysis

Identify performance bottlenecks, compliance gaps, and high-risk tables.

Migration Paths

Choose rehost, refactor, or rebuild strategies.

TCO Comparison

Cloud-native vs. on-premises costs over 3-5 years.

Migration & Optimization

Schema Modernization

Convert monolithic schemas to distributed models (sharding, partitioning).

Cloud-Native Transition

a. Relational: Migrate to AWS Aurora, Azure SQL Managed Instance, or Google Cloud SQL.
b. NoSQL: Shift to DynamoDB, Cosmos DB, or MongoDB Atlas.
c. Data Warehouse: Modernize to Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery.

Automation

Scripted schema conversions, zero-downtime migrations, and data validation.

Modernization Techniques

Serverless Databases

Auto-scaling with AWS Aurora Serverless or Azure SQL Hyperscale.

In-Memory Caching

Boost performance 10X with Redis or Amazon ElastiCache.

AI-Driven Tuning

Leverage machine learning for query optimization (e.g., Oracle Autonomous DB).

Polyglot Persistence

Right-size databases per workload (time-series, graph, document).

Governance & Monitoring

Backup/DR

Cross-region replication and point-in-time recovery.

Security

Encryption, IAM roles, and automated patching.

Performance Dashboards

Track latency, throughput, and cost per query.

Deliverables You Receive 

Migration Blueprint

Step-by-step plan with rollback strategies.

TCO Analysis

Capex vs. Opex savings forecast.

Security Framework

GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS compliance checklists.

Performance Benchmark

Pre/post-migration latency and throughput metrics.

Outcomes You Can Achieve

70% Faster Queries

Optimized indexes and in-memory caching.

60% Lower Costs

Replace legacy licenses with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Elastic Scalability

Handle 100X traffic spikes without manual tuning.

Zero Compliance Gaps

Automated audits and immutable backups.

Case Study

FinTech Cuts Transaction Latency by 85%

Challenge

An aging Oracle system caused 15-second transaction delays during peak trades.

Solution

1. Migrated to a distributed PostgreSQL cluster on AWS.
2. Implemented Redis caching for real-time analytics.
3. Automated failover with AWS Aurora Global Database.

Result

1. 85% lower latency.
2. $950K saved annually.
3. 99.999% uptime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does migration take?

8–16 weeks for a minimum viable cloud-native rebuild; 6+ months for full enterprise modernization.  

Yes! We design hybrid architectures (e.g., AWS + on-prem Kubernetes) for phased transitions.  

We provide 90 days of post-migration support, including performance tuning, query optimization, and team training. Optional SLA-backed managed services are available for ongoing monitoring and upgrades.
