in the future we can think about hosting our data (files) in the cloud, but what about Application server, this is the problem we cannot install our application in an outside server in the cloud,
For legal reasons?
honestly i don't know, but i think that the IT company that sold us this application will not accept to install it in an hosted server as far as i can see
Then you don't tell them, silly.
I can tell you that using a hosted server would solve your issue pretty well. It would give you a point to relay both offices off of to bridge the networks together. Our company also gives you the option of naming your server whatever you want. So match it to your naming convention within your current environment, use it as your VPN/Application server, and have the company install it as if it was within your own environment. Most of these kinds of things, the guys installing it are complete and utter morons, they will never figure it out.
Or, if push comes to shove, just use a P2V utility like Vmware Converter on your current install, be it physical or virtual, spin up a cloud server and upload the image to it. No muss, no fuss.
hhh, i understand almost 50% of what you have said, i think that you used deep slang american language,

Wouldn't be the first time someone said my english skills were not up to par for non-english speakers. Imagine attempting to teach someone the Texas Two Step who has no idea where Texas even is.
I work with Vmware, so this info will be more Vmware specific.

Use this to build a copy of your current server with the application installed. Upload it to your provider of choice. Then shutdown your old server, turn on the new server, then setup a VPN connection between your sites and the hosted server. Eliminate both the issue with dynamic IPs between your sites and host your application in a place where you can access it anywhere in the world. It makes things a lot easier and eliminates the vendor from knowing that you changed up the server.

You should check out our new product rolling out soon. Crazy backend, but we also do all those fun hypervisors. All because the company we bought for this has some irrational hatred towards Vmware.
Now that I'm Hyper-V certified, I'm being slowly sucked into the shit.
