Special Environments for Non-Cloud-Native Workloads

Situation

You are transitioning to cloud-native but still run critical workloads that were not built for containers or Kubernetes.
Maybe it is a legacy application, a vendor solution, or a system with unique technical or licensing constraints.
Or maybe rearchitecting it simply is not worth the effort right now.

These systems matter, but they do not fit into a Kubernetes-first world. So now what?

Your Challenge

You cannot – or do not want to – rebuild everything for Kubernetes. And yes – that is okay.
But you still need a reliable, maintainable, and secure way to run these workloads.

They may require traditional environments – fixed IPs, persistent mounts, specific OS versions, or manual installation steps.
But you want to avoid ad-hoc setups and snowflake servers. You want structure, observability, automation – and support when it counts.

Our Solution

VSHN provides a structured operations model for non-cloud-native software – whether it runs on VMs or even bare metal.

We help you bring modern DevOps practices to traditional workloads:

• Tailored Managed Services and Support for Custom Applications
  We install, configure, and operate standard or bespoke software stacks (e.g., databases, application servers, proxies, specific vendor software) on managed Linux servers – aligned with your needs. In some cases, we can still wrap the application in a Docker container for partial abstraction.
• Managed Linux Servers
  If you manage the application yourself but need a reliable server underneath, we take care of that.
• Engineering and Operations Support for Hyperscaler Cloud Environments
  We manage the infrastructure – provisioning, backups, monitoring, and cloud integration as needed.

All of it is delivered through modular Solution Building Blocks – repeatable, documented, and integrated into your operations.

Built with

We implement this solution using:

• Server-Based Custom Managed Services
  To operate the software itself – managed by VSHN, based on our automation framework and best practices. At a minimum, we manage the base server.
• Cloud Platform Operations
  To host the workload in your cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environment – secure and automated.
• Support Plans (optional)
  For SLAs, escalation paths, and 24×7 availability if your workloads require it.

Even legacy workloads deserve clean operations

We bring order, transparency, and long-term maintainability – so you can focus on evolving your systems at the pace that fits your business.

The way to your tailored, modular and scalable solution.

How to get started

Based on what you really need.
Our Solution Architects work with you or your software partner to understand your goals, requirements and constraints.
Together, we design a tailored solution – whether we build and run it with you, or you take it forward independently, it all starts here.
Through an iterative, agile approach, we deliver clearly defined work packages and bring your solution into stable, day-2 operations.
