The UK's HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has migrated its applications out of legacy data centers located in West London and Swindon. In total, HMCTS migrated 37 applications, a project that began in 2020, and has scrapped some and updated others to be moved to cloud platforms, as per a report from The Register
HMCTS said: "Applications that were no longer needed were decommissioned, while others were upgraded and moved to secure, cloud-based platforms. Another group of systems was moved to a specially created temporary hosting facility where they can continue to reliably and securely operate reliably and securely while we plan their eventual replacement or retirement."
The department added: "This transformation is about more than just replacing old equipment. We have built a foundation that enables continuous improvement, with new systems that are easier to update, more secure, and better connected.
