Despite being costly to maintain and difficult to scale, many organizations continue to embrace mainframes rather than transitioning to modern cloud computing technologies. Migrating mainframes can seem intimidating due to the process of translating mainframe subsystems and reconfiguring them for cloud deployments.
However, the benefits of migrating mainframes are immense, including increased business agility, enhanced IT productivity, and faster time to market. And, with no mainframe infrastructure to buy and maintain, as well as the cloud’s pay-as-you-go pricing system, organizations who migrate can reduce IT costs by 60 to 90%.
The ClearScale / Astadia Mainframe Migration Partnership
ClearScale and Astadia provide the skills, experience, and tools to minimize the time spent in the mainframe migration transition phase and maximize the long-term success of modernization. Astadia provides accelerated workload migration to the AWS platform through the Astadia FastTrack Factory, a complete mainframe migration platform that’s scalable and maintainable, resulting in significant reductions from the high cost of operating legacy mainframe systems. ClearScale has the application development and cloud modernization expertise required to transition legacy, monolithic mainframe applications into customized cloud-based microservice applications that customers can seamlessly control. By defining and implementing the cloud modernization strategy, ClearScale delivers mission-critical agile IT to customers and allows them to innovate on the latest AWS Cloud technologies.
