Modernize your data stack for AI and analytics

Don't let on-premises Hadoop and legacy data infrastructure block your path to modern analytics, machine learning, and AI.

The big data tools of a decade ago were reliant on batch processing, tightly coupled compute, and manual oversight, all of which are fundamentally incompatible with that architecture. Cirata seamlessly moves, manages, and modernizes data from legacy platforms, or on-premises environments, to cloud or multi-cloud architectures without downtime, re-writes, or business disruption.

Is your data ready for what's next?

Most organizations know their Hadoop or legacy environments are holding them back. The real question is how to get out of it without breaking what's already running. Cirata makes migration fast, safe, and continuous, all with eliminating the risk and disruption that has historically made data modernization projects so difficult.

  • Live, zero-disruption migration: Move data at scale from on-premises environments to any cloud platform while production systems remain fully operational.
  • Open and portable: Migrate to open table formats that work across every major analytics and AI platform with no vendor lock-in, no format conversion overhead.
  • Automated, no custom code: Runs without hand-crafted scripts or manual loops. Your team spends time building capabilities, not maintaining migration pipelines.
  • Freedom of platform choice: Choose the cloud and analytics platform that fits your business and modernize on your terms, not your vendor's.

The significance of a data modernization strategy

Migrating your data estate to modern cloud-native infrastructure is not just a cost optimization exercise, it is the prerequisite for every AI and analytics initiative your organization wants to pursue. Modern cloud platforms do not run on legacy systems, modernization is the unlock.
Cirata's approach removes the biggest barriers that have historically made data modernization so difficult, production downtime risk, data loss exposure, and the in-house engineering drain of maintaining complex manual migration processes.
The right modernization partner gives you freedom, not a new form of lock-in. You choose the cloud platform, the analytics tooling, and the AI stack that fits your organization, and your data is never trapped.

Common pitfalls on the road to data modernization

Lift-and-shift without modernization
Moving data from on-prem to cloud storage in its original format solves an infrastructure cost problem but doesn't unlock the capabilities you're migrating for. Without moving to open table formats and enabling governance tools, you arrive in the cloud with a legacy architecture, just hosted differently.
Migration projects that stall in production
Traditional migration approaches require production downtime or rely on repeated batch-copy runs that never catch up with live data changes. The result is a migration that starts well and then drags sometimes for months, as teams struggle to complete a final cutover.
Underestimating metadata complexity
Moving data files is the visible part of migration. Moving Hive metastore metadata, table definitions, schema structures, partition information, and downstream dependencies is where migrations can often encounter unexpected delays.

Data modernization isn't preparation for AI.
It's the prerequisite.
