UK Moves Court System Workloads from Legacy Data Centers

Feb 10, 2026 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji

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.

There are 539 data centers in United Kingdom.
