Gigabits Cloud Launches Ubuntu-Powered Modernization Framework: Hours-Not-Weeks Migra - Dreamcastlees - 05-22-2025
When Gigabits Cloud began shaping its Ubuntu-first modernization platform, one core promise stood out: migrations that take hours instead of weeks. Today, that vision is fully realized with the launch of our Ubuntu-powered transformation framework—designed to simplify modernization, cut costs, and bring legacy systems into the AI era with confidence.
Backed by robust automation and agentic AI, Gigabits Cloud now makes it possible to transition from legacy platforms to an optimized, secure, and container-ready environment—built for scale, performance, and long-term support.
At the heart of the new Gigabits Cloud modernization platform is agentic automation, designed to handle the complexities of .NET applications, mainframe workloads, and VMware-based systems. Using large language models (LLMs), graph neural networks, and deep insights from thousands of hours of cloud-native transformations, Gigabits Cloud eliminates the friction traditionally tied to moving and modernizing legacy systems.
Our platform Ubuntu 20 brings legacy applications onto a modern Ubuntu-based stack—ideal for containers, microservices, and AI workloads—at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.
Legacy Windows-based .NET apps don’t need to be a burden. With Gigabits Cloud, you can automatically migrate your .NET Framework apps to cross-platform .NET running on Ubuntu LTS—one of the most trusted and secure operating systems in the world.
What’s new:
- Full support for private NuGet packages—including automatic discovery and transformation
- End-to-end modernization pipeline from code analysis to unit test validation
- Up to 40% cost savings from eliminating Windows Server licenses
- A downloadable JSON-based summary of all transformation changes for compliance and auditing

Mainframes carry decades of business logic, but they’re hard to scale, harder to maintain, and nearly impossible to integrate with modern AI tooling. Gigabits Cloud takes on this challenge with an AI-assisted migration path to Java Spring Boot, running natively on Ubuntu.
Key benefits:
- Visual mapping of COBOL, VSAM, and DB2 dependencies
- Interactive migration planning with optimization suggestions
- Automated transformation to readable, maintainable Java code
- Preservation of business rules and logic with zero compromise on behavior
“We didn’t just migrate—we upgraded our architecture, documentation, and visibility into business logic. The move to Ubuntu on Gigabits Cloud was the first real modernization our mainframe had seen in 30 years.”
— Systems Architect, Global Manufacturing Firm
On-prem VMware environments come with rising costs and operational limits. With Gigabits Cloud, you can lift and shift these workloads directly into high-performance Ubuntu-backed VMs—streamlined by our agentic automation engine.
How it works:
- Upload your VMware inventory or connect directly to vCenter
- Auto-discover applications and map dependencies
- Get AI-generated migration wave plans in minutes
- Translate network settings into Ubuntu-native configurations with minimal effort
“We cut execution time by 90% and reduced licensing overhead significantly. Gigabits Cloud’s VMware-to-Ubuntu migration gave us full control at every step—no surprises.”
— Head of Infrastructure, Digital Retail Group
With every modernization effort, Gigabits Cloud leans into Ubuntu as the OS of choice—not just for its long-term stability and security, but because it’s built for what’s next: AI integration, container orchestration, developer velocity, and enterprise control.
New features available today:
- Real-time UI insight into transformation tasks and component relationships
- Extended support for UI layer migration
- Connector support for hybrid environments
- Automated selection of dependent repositories
- Email notifications for active transformation jobs
- Comprehensive transformation reports for stakeholders
Whether you're transitioning from legacy systems, reducing costs, or preparing your stack for AI-driven workloads Ubuntu 20 supported by Gigabits Cloud gives you the speed, tools, and intelligence to make transformation a reality—faster than you thought possible.
