Don’t Let Legacy Debt Retire Your Hybrid Desktop IT Strategy
Though there has been a recent change in attitude towards the enablement of remote work by some, the appetite of enterprises for remote work solutions remains unabated. Even those organizations forcing a return to the office still require remote work solutions as a backup plan or to enable on-call work or other necessities. In fact, a recent Gallup study showed that out of the jobs in the US that can be worked remotely, 26% work fully remote and 55% work a hybrid schedule.
While enterprises form strategic IT roadmaps and plot out their future employee workstyles and enablement a challenge being faced is a dependency on legacy software. It can be difficult to balance the need for innovation with the practical demands of maintaining mission-critical legacy systems. It’s a delicate act, like changing the tires on a moving car, but one that’s necessary for businesses aiming to stay competitive while managing risk.
This where Numecent Cloudpaging containers provide incredible value.
Containerize Your Apps Once. Deploy Them Anywhere.
Containerization extends DevOps capabilities to the management of your Windows applications. Once containerized, your applications can be dynamically deployed to any physical or virtual Windows desktop.
The dynamic deployment of applications in Cloudpaging application containers eliminates application install failures, application conflicts, install related reboots, unclean uninstalls and more. Cloudpaging containers can be used for virtually any Windows application, including your most complex legacy and in-house applications. Whether leveraging decades-old ERP platforms, specialized manufacturing software, or compliance-bound financial systems, these applications can’t be simply “lifted and shifted” to the cloud without significant cost and complexity.
Rather than choosing between old and new environments or delaying a move towards the new due to challenges with the legacy systems, enterprises are choosing both — integrating modern cloud services with their existing on-premises infrastructure to create a flexible, scalable environment that evolves over time. Cloudpaging containers blend the old with the new by enabling legacy client applications to lift and shift to cloud desktops such as Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and Citrix DaaS – as well as your physical endpoints running on Windows 11.
Numecent: Bridging the Gap Between Legacy Applications and Modern IT Technologies
At its core, Numecent helps enterprises modernize without compromise. Numecent enables the delivery of complex, legacy applications to modern endpoints (virtual, physical, or cloud-based) without the need for immediate costly rewrites or re-architectures. Applications tethered to aging infrastructure can now be delivered securely and efficiently, anywhere they’re needed.
For organizations pursuing a hybrid IT strategy, you can now maintain business continuity while accelerating their modernization goals. Employees gain frictionless access to essential applications, whether they’re working from corporate offices, remote locations, or virtual desktops. Meanwhile, IT teams gain greater control over application deployment and management, reducing operational complexity and risk.
Numecent’s approach doesn’t just preserve the value of legacy investments, it amplifies them. By decoupling applications from their underlying operating environments, organizations gain the freedom to evolve their infrastructure on their terms, transitioning workloads to the cloud at a pace that suits their business objectives and compliance needs.
Future-Proofing Enterprise IT
As hybrid IT continues to mature, enterprises need solutions that offer eliminate all-or-nothing decisions. You need the ability to rapidly adopt new technologies and move across/between platforms without penalty. The ability to incrementally modernize while sustaining mission-critical legacy systems is not just a competitive advantage — it’s a requirement for long-term success.
Numecent stands at the intersection of this trend, empowering enterprises to future-proof their IT environments. By simplifying application delivery across hybrid infrastructures, Numecent enables organizations to focus on what matters most: driving innovation, delivering exceptional user experiences, and confidently navigating the evolving demands of the digital age.
That’s why we developed Cloudpaging AI, transforming application packaging from days of work into just a few clicks. For more on AI packaging and what it means for you, check out our webinar Introducing Cloudpaging AI.
In a world where the only constant is change, hybrid IT provides the flexibility enterprises need. With Numecent, that flexibility becomes an opportunity — not a compromise.
Build for the Future of Windows Desktop IT by Containerizing Everything
Enterprises no longer need to choose between preserving the past and embracing the future. Hybrid IT has become the pragmatic path forward, blending the reliability of legacy systems with the agility of modern infrastructure. Solutions like Numecent empower organizations to confidently navigate this hybrid landscape, delivering legacy applications seamlessly alongside modern workloads.
By removing the friction from application delivery, Numecent helps enterprises protect their existing investments while accelerating innovation — turning the complexity of hybrid IT into a strategic advantage.
