Mainframe Optimization with Rehosting

Seamless transition from your mainframe environment to the cloud.

Mainframe modernization supports your transformational journey that bridges old and new to create greater value from longstanding IT investments, on or off the mainframe.

While the mainframe is a platform of choice for enterprises that rely on computing power and stability, its legacy technology and software requirements are complex and expensive to maintain. FNTS has decades of mainframe expertise and is ready to assist with your mainframe modernization or exit strategies, by seamlessly migrating legacy applications from your mainframe environment to a contemporary Azure or private cloud model.

By performing data manipulation and extracting data to the cloud utilizing enhanced tools and integration methods, FNTS and its expansive partner network can rehost, refactor and replatform your legacy applications.

When combining Mainframe-as-a-Service (MFaaS) with a rehosting strategy you will benefit from:

Provide a bridge between your current state and the cloud to optimize overall costs for modernization efforts.

Unlock innovation, agility and long-term operational savings through improved performance and a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO). Save 70-80% (on average) with refactoring and replatforming strategies.

Allow your current mainframe staff to focus on future state vs day-to-day operations.

Remediate resource and staffing risk.

Save 15-20% (on average) moving to a MFaaS model.

We will help design the architecture and deployment in Azure.

FNTS specializes in helping you create and execute a MFaaS model as part of the rehosting phase. This provides a bridge until FNTS and our expansive partner network can refactor or replatform the applications in Azure.

Shifts the workload to the cloud at the lowest cost. You can use it to quickly migrate your existing applications to the cloud.

Refactoring and Replatforming
