Modernization with Google Cloud

Modernization is important to stay relevant and to accelerate innovation. It requires speed in delivering products and services, resilience in unpredictable scenarios and uncompromising security. All these are possible by modernizing your current business processes and systems once step at a time to reach the optimal level of functioning.

Google Cloud offers easy modernization tools and approaches to make your modernization easy and seamless. CloudLeaf’s Google Cloud experts make an analysis of your current IT state and then determine the ideal functioning state. We will then determine the optimal path to get there using the best Google Cloud tools and solutions.

Application Modernization with Google Cloud

CloudLeaf uses Google Cloud’s CAMP (Cloud App Modernization Program) to guide organizations on their modernization program. Based on our experience of working with clients from different industries and best practices, we start from making an assessment of your current applications to determine their resilience, agility and scalability with your current infrastructure. Based on our assessment, we suggest various options to help optimize your applications’ performance either on-premise or on the Cloud.

Approaches to Application Modernization

Rehost
“Lift and Shift” or redeploy and execute the application on a different infrastructure without making any changes to the code, features and functionalities.
Replace
Rip and replace different components of the application with similar functionalities using Cloud-native services approach in place of a monolithic approach.
Rebuild
Rewrite the application code from scratch while maintaining its specifications and scope. Usually uses microservices in place of monolithic architecture.
Rearchitect
Divide the legacy, monolith application into functional components or microservices which are further adapted or developed further for the new environment.
Refactor
Restructure & optimize the application's code while retaining the external functionalities. It enables enhancement of component's features and structure.

Mainframe Modernization with Google Cloud

CloudLeaf uses Google Cloud tools to assess your mainframe application portfolio. We help to develop a strategic and financial plan for your mainframe estate to understand its overall size and complexity. We then determine the potential target state of your mainframe applications. The next step is creating a roadmap for optimizing the mainframe-based applications in terms of cost, complexity and right-sizing to run the right workloads.


Mainframe Modernization Approach

  1. Application Survey: Data on all applications on the mainframe
  2. Scoring: Scoring on basis of key attributes on technical maturity and business value
  3. Segmentation: division based on MF impact vis-à-vis software licensing, admin, hardware and overheads, mainframe consumption
  4. Decision: Rewrite, rehost, retire or retain applications on the mainframe?
  5. Identification: Identify high value applications for innovation
  6. Recommendation: Determine suitable mainframes for each application
  7. Plan: Future mainframe modernization plans for remaining applications with value realization and spend analysis
