Application Replatforming for Cloud Mass Migration

Living in the fast-paced digital era, information technology influences all walks of our lives. Cloud services like replatforming or migrating to cloud-native application architectures offer advanced technology, cost savings, scalability and real-time accessibility.

Hexaware’s Unique Automated Application Transformation Platform

AMAZE™ is a highly customizable cloud replatforming product designed for Java and .Net applications. It enables seamless cloud migration of applications running on WebLogic or WebSphere using the Oracle or Db2 database. AMAZE™ suite of solutions provides smart cloud upgrades to monolith applications without changing their existing business functionality and utilizing maximum automation to save upon manual efforts.

The exclusive advantages of AMAZE™ application replatforming are as follows:

• Scalability, enhanced customer experiences and future-ready flexibility
• Minimal licensing costs
• Customized and secure environment
• Real-time changes with negligible impact on day-to-day business
• New features addition is easy
• Extremely cost-effective maintenance

These functionalities play a critical role, especially in view of sky-rocketing costs of maintenance and server/database expenses for WebLogic, WebSphere, Oracle or Db2.

How AMAZE™ works?

AMAZE™ makes application migration to cloud a lot easier with intelligent identification of the code that requires changes. Then it automates the process for a majority of the changes to save on manual efforts. High levels of automation help cut down on cloud migration time and save on TCO and implementation costs.

Depicted below is the blueprint of how AMAZE™ works:

• Initially, an application analysis is performed on the source code to identify the applications that need to be migrated
• The identified applications are quickly containerized with minimal refactoring and then they are deployed on the cloud environment
• On deployment, an assessment report is generated highlighting the time taken to identify and replatform specific applications
• This report highlights various technologies used with composition of the application and based on this report, a replatform option is chosen for the legacy application replatforming
• Finally, the code and design patterns are generated and refactored from a non-cloud-friendly to cloud-friendly design pattern without disturbing the existing business functionality.

AMAZE™(ing) Benefits

AMAZE™ is fast, economical and efficient. With a high level of automation and customization capabilities, it can deploy web applications on the cloud seamlessly and make your application replatforming journey much simple yet secure and future-proof.

Value-adds which contribute to its superb functionality are

• Converting the source code from on-prem design patterns to cloud-friendly design patterns
• Upgrading the underlying libraries used by the application to make it compatible with Cloud containers or PaaS
• High scalability with improved application performance
• On-premise functionality of the application remain unchanged after application transformation to the cloud
• No additional licensing costs are to be borne by the customer
