Legacy bridge to future growth
Mainframes were once the backbone of enterprise IT, but today they’re a barrier to innovation and agility. Explores the need for mainframe modernization and discover a clear path to cloud transformation.
Mainframes were once the backbone of enterprise IT, powering businesses for decades. However, these systems are now seen as an obstacle to innovation and efficiency. With cloud computing emerging as the foundation of digital transformation, businesses face a critical choice: continue with costly, inflexible mainframes or embrace the cloud to unlock transformative opportunities.
Atos and AWS, through their CloudCatalyst program, offer a seamless, low-risk solution to migrating mainframe workloads to the cloud. This isn’t just a migration service; it's a strategic move that optimizes your business for agility, cost savings, and sustainability.
The case for cloud migration
Mainframes, while reliable, no longer offer the flexibility or scalability that businesses need in today's digital-first environment. They are expensive to maintain and struggle to support modern technologies such as AI, machine learning, and big data analytics.
Conversely, cloud computing provides a future-proof solution for businesses that prioritize agility and cost efficiency. By 2025, Gartner predicts that 95% of new data workloads will be hosted in the cloud, a significant jump from just 30% in 2021. This shift shows a clear consensus that the future of enterprise IT lies in the cloud.
- Cost Efficiency: A recent IDC study shows that migrating to AWS can reduce operational costs by up to 51% while increasing IT productivity by 62%.
- Agility: AWS continuously innovates with over 2,000 updates annually, enabling businesses to adopt cutting-edge technologies. This flexibility allows enterprises to quickly innovate, iterate, and launch new services.
For example, a global consumer goods company that migrated its mainframe workloads to AWS using CloudCatalyst reduced its recurring costs by 30% while boosting agility for faster product rollouts.
Overcoming the Complexity of Mainframe-to-Cloud Migration
Despite the obvious benefits, many organizations hesitate to migrate mission-critical workloads due to the perceived complexity and fear of disrupting operations. Mainframes often run essential applications, and security concerns also play a role in delaying cloud adoption.
This is where the Atos-AWS CloudCatalyst program excels. With a structured, automated migration process, CloudCatalyst minimizes risks and ensures continuity. By leveraging tools like the Atos Cloud Code Automation Tool (CCAT), CloudCatalyst helps analyze workloads, refactor legacy applications, and modernize systems with minimal disruption.
- Automated Refactoring: CloudCatalyst uses automation to transform legacy mainframes into cloud-native systems, ensuring security, scalability, and flexibility.
- Security and Compliance: AWS offers over 300 cloud security tools, ensuring that businesses in highly regulated industries like finance and healthcare can migrate securely.
A large financial services firm partnered with Atos and AWS to move its core banking applications to the cloud with zero downtime. This transformation enabled the firm to integrate AI-driven analytics, improving customer insights and operational efficiency.
Sustainable, cost-efficient operations in the cloud
Migrating to the cloud isn’t just about agility and scalability; it's also about sustainability. Traditional on-premise data centers, especially those running mainframes, are notorious for high energy consumption and carbon emissions. Migrating to cloud platforms like AWS, which are increasingly powered by renewable energy, provides a greener, more cost-efficient alternative.
- Sustainability: Moving workloads to the cloud can reduce a business's carbon footprint by up to 80%. AWS, for instance, aims to power its data centers with 100% renewable energy by 2025, offering businesses a way to meet their sustainability goals while optimizing costs.
- Right-Sizing Infrastructure: One key advantage of cloud migration is the ability to right-size infrastructure to actual demand, eliminating the need for over-provisioning, which is common in traditional mainframe environments.
For example, a European manufacturing company reduced its energy consumption by 45% after migrating its mainframe workloads to AWS using CloudCatalyst. This move significantly cut operational costs and contributed to the company's sustainability targets.
