What is mainframe modernization?
Mainframe modernization is the process of transforming on-premises mainframe data and applications to be compatible with modern IT ecosystems.
Mainframe modernization can take several forms:
- Migrating mainframe data to new platforms.
- Refactoring mainframe applications to run in modern environments.
- Replicating data from the mainframe to new platforms – retaining access to the data for use on both mainframe and new platforms.
Why is mainframe modernization important?
Mainframe modernization aims to improve access to mainframe data as well as performance, scalability, and agility of mainframe applications - while reducing costs and maintaining reliability.
This may include:
- Migrating applications and data to the cloud or hybrid environments.
- Replicating mainframe data to the cloud or other environments to allow for timely access on both platforms by traditional and modern applications.
- Integrating mainframe systems and data with contemporary technologies.
What are the benefits of mainframe modernization?
Benefits of mainframe modernization are as follows:
- Ensuring real-time, secure data delivery from complex data sources to the cloud for use in cloud-based application, analytics, and AI
- Reducing reliance on resources dedicated to mainframe systems to save time and costs associated with systems management.
