Challenge of Mainframe

- Lack of Technical Expertise

- High maintenance cost- Hardware and licencing cost
- Poor GUI and lack of ease of connectivity with mobile application
- Performance deterioration with mobile/web transaction
- No way to monitor actual mainframe performance having mobile adoption

Why Mainframe Modernization

- To add Analytics facility to use potentioal of data : Mainframe flat file based DB did not support Analytics .
New DBs like MangoDB, NOSQL repacing old IMS ,
- To enable Mobile transaction on Mainframe backend application.
- To accelerate Release management ,Leverage DevOPs and continuose development
- To leverage cloud computing AS a service model
- Automation Leverage

What we can do
- Bridging between Application on cloud and core Mainframe business services
- Develop modernization grp to help enterprises modernize their mainframe via 5R model (re-host /Retain
Replace/Reinvasion and retire)
- Analysis mainframe logs (SMF understand consumptipon pattern and MIPS usage to reduce cost and improve
performace.
Benefit of Modernization
- Reduce total cost of ownership of Mainframe application
- Flexibility – Cloud offers high productivity and innovation support increase scalability
- Technical Pool of open source

- Mainframe Modernization can support

- Migration from mainframe
- Hybrid cloud application inytegrated with core mainframe business services

- Reusability – Lift and shift process that support existing code in COBOL and recompile it on mainframe
emulator hosted on cloud. This reduce risk , hardware /software cost and quick to implement.
- Replace – Exisitng application to SAAS ( software as service Application in Cloud
- Rewrite – First migrate code on mainframe emulator then DB and then

- Microsoft Azure referenced architecture really helps for mainframe modernization and support mainframe
parallel operation , Load balancing ,Monitoring management and security by different Azure tools.,
