AWS MAINFRAME MODERNIZATION

Maximize your modernization to Amazon Web Services

AWS Mainframe Modernization is a unique platform for mainframe modernization that allows you to modernize your on-premises mainframe workloads to a managed runtime environment on AWS. AWS Mainframe Modernization service enables two popular migration patterns: replatforming and automated refactoring. With AWS Mainframe Modernization, you can assess and analyze migration readiness and plan projects. AWS Mainframe Modernization provides the development, build, and test tools for modernization projects. Once implemented and tested, you can deploy your mainframe workloads to AWS into the AWS Mainframe Modernization service managed runtime environment.

Why modernize to AWS?

CHALLENGES

Scarcity of domain expertise

Developers and database administrators who understand mainframe technology are reaching retirement age, resulting in a steadily diminishing talent pool. As this shortage grows, the costs and risks of relying on legacy languages and databases will continue to rise.

Limited flexibility

Companies are rapidly moving to modern environments and practices such as DevOps and AWS, while mainframes and the languages and databases that support them were not designed for modern IT, resulting in difficult integrations and limited flexibility.

Exorbitant costs

Mainframes cost as much as 4,500% more to operate than equivalent AWS counterparts, a figure compounded by a scarcity of development resources and rising licensing and maintenance fees for ancillary mainframe utilities, applications, and databases.
