Clearscale Joins Hands With Astadia To Drive Legacy Mainframe Migrations To The AWS Cloud

Fremont, CA: ClearScale, a leading cloud systems integrator, and Astadia, the market-leading software-enabled mainframe migration company, entered into a partnership to migrate and modernize legacy mainframe systems on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This new collaboration offers enterprises end-to-end mainframe migration and modernization expertise, as well as tailored solutions that meet specific business objectives.

Despite the fact that mainframes are expensive to maintain and difficult to scale, many organizations continue to use them instead of transitioning to modern cloud computing technologies. The process of translating mainframe subsystems and reconfiguring them for cloud deployments can be intimidating when migrating mainframes.

The benefits of migrating mainframes, on the other hand, are enormous, including increased business agility, improved IT productivity, and faster time to market. Furthermore, because there is no mainframe infrastructure to purchase and maintain, as well as the cloud's pay-as-you-go pricing system, organizations that migrate can cut IT costs by 60 to 90 percent.

ClearScale and Astadia provide the knowledge, experience, and tools needed to reduce the time spent in the mainframe migration transition phase and maximize the long-term success of modernization. Through the Astadia FastTrack Factory, a complete mainframe migration platform that is scalable and maintainable, Astadia offers accelerated workload migration to the AWS platform, resulting in significant savings from the high cost of operating legacy mainframe systems. ClearScale has the application development and cloud modernization expertise needed to convert legacy, monolithic mainframe applications into customized cloud-based microservice applications that customers can control seamlessly. ClearScale provides mission-critical agile IT to customers while also allowing them to innovate on the latest AWS Cloud technologies by defining and implementing the cloud modernization strategy. ClearScale is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with 11 AWS Competencies, including Migration. The cloud systems integrator has guided mainframe migration clients through the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) for the Mainframe model and has executed massive migrations to the AWS Cloud involving mission-critical IT infrastructure.

"Migrating mainframes to the cloud is crucial for enterprises that want to boost IT performance and reduce costs," stated Pavel Pragin, CEO of ClearScale. "However, these projects are complex and require experience and expertise to succeed. That's what our partnership with Astadia delivers. ClearScale and Astadia complement one another to deliver the perfect mainframe migration solution. Astadia provides insights into the applications and configurations on the mainframe. ClearScale defines the value of each business function and strategically categorizes and prioritizes for execution - whether it's refactoring, replatforming, or another approach."
