Application Modernization - An Overview
At Osiz, application modernization involves transforming legacy systems to align with modern business requirements and technology standards. This includes upgrading platforms, re-architecting systems, and enhancing features to boost scalability, efficiency, and agility. By transitioning from monolithic, on-premises setups to cloud-based microservices using DevOps practices, we ensure your applications deliver faster and more reliable outcomes.
The advantages of modernization include improved delivery speed for new features, seamless integration through APIs, and migrating to scalable cloud platforms for enhanced performance and cost-efficiency.
Why Modernize Legacy Applications?
Legacy systems are often monolithic, making them complex, costly to scale, and challenging to update. With Osiz, these challenges are resolved by adopting microservices architecture:
Improved Scalability: Individual components are scaled independently, minimizing resource wastage.
Enhanced Flexibility: Modernized applications adapt quickly to new requirements, ensuring your systems remain future-ready.
By addressing these issues, we unlock the full potential of your applications, ensuring they align with evolving business demands.
Application Modernization Assessments
Osiz begins every modernization journey with a thorough application assessment:
- Inventory Analysis: Identifying all legacy applications and evaluating their current state.
- Value vs. Effort Mapping: Prioritizing applications based on modernization value and ease of implementation.
- Tailored Strategies: Crafting a phased approach to ensure high-value applications are modernized with minimal disruption.
Our approach ensures strategic decisions that reduce risk and maximize ROI for your modernization efforts.
Application Modernization Patterns
- From Monolith to Microservices: Breaking down applications into smaller, independent services for better performance and agility.
- Strangler Pattern: Gradually refactoring legacy systems, focusing on high-value components first.
- Cloud Migration: Restructuring applications to harness the benefits of cloud-native models like Kubernetes and containers.
- API Integration: Exposing application functionality through secure APIs for enhanced interoperability. Each pattern is designed to drive operational efficiency and innovation while ensuring a seamless transition.
- Use APIs to Expose Functionality: Last but not least, a different strategy for modernization may entail maintaining an application while safely making its features or data available through APIs.
Capabilities of Application Modernization
Application & Technical Architecture Advisory
Establish a vision for application and technology, as well as business capabilities, and match the aims of value realization with the objectives and outcomes of the business.
Application Discovery, Assessment & Planning
Find and evaluate the application portfolio, formulate the business case for app renewal, streamline the portfolio, specify the architecture, and produce a roadmap.
Agile/Dev(Sec)Ops Transformation
Activate Agile/Dev(Sec)Ops tools and procedures and offer Agile/DevOps mentoring.
Application Modernization
Use tested accelerators and techniques to carry out a specified roadmap to provide scheduled application modernizations and architecture blueprints at scale.
Mainframe Modernization
Use containerization, automated code conversions, and Agile/Dev(Sec)Ops to speed up optimization and modernization in place or across the cloud continuum.
Key Technologies for Application Modernization
Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, and Multi-Cloud
Any modernization strategy must include the public cloud, but for security, latency, and architectural reasons, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud solutions are also crucial.
The various cloud models can assist in resolving all the architectural and policy complexities related to where specific workloads need to go based on their particular features, as an enterprise may not be prepared to move directly from the data center to the public cloud for a variety of reasons.
Containers and Kubernetes
In addition to challenging virtual machines (VMs) as a type of cloud computing that can be used for any purpose, containers, and Kubernetes have become important facilitators of hybrid cloud and application modernization methods.
An application can be packed using containerization in lightweight, consistent ways to execute consistently in on-premises, cloud, and desktop environments. For businesses figuring out their future on the cloud, this kind of flexibility is a huge help.
