The growing appeal of cloud By 2025, Gartner predicts that 95% of new data workloads will be hosted in cloud – up from just 30% in 20211 . Cost-efficiency is still a major part of the appeal. A recent whitepaper by IDC shows that migrating to AWS can save customers 51% of operational costs and improve IT staff productivity by 62%2 . However, the drive for greater agility, innovation, and scalability remains equally important.
The fact is that the mainframe, once the pillar of enterprise computing, is increasingly seen as outdated. Data innovation – including analytics and AI – is now overwhelmingly cloud-based, offering organizations the tools and flexibility to experiment, iterate, and bring new ideas to market quickly.
This means that in an environment where rules change month by month, traditional, inflexible on-prem hardware – and the people tasked with managing it – struggle to keep up. Cloud’s historic concerns are also falling by the wayside. Today, robust security and compliance protocols are foundational to the cloud – with AWS providing a deep set of over 300 cloud security tools. This robust suite of tools has earned the trust of millions of AWS customers, including security-sensitive organizations in sectors like government, healthcare, and financial services. And yesterday’s energy-hungry cloud facilities are now in the front line of the sustainability race, with the big cloud providers competing to offer near net-zero data centers.
How Atos CloudCatalyst can speed up your cloud migration Despite the benefits of cloud, there is still one overwhelming reason why many organizations have not yet embraced its potential: migrating a large-scale mainframe is a complex challenge, requiring meticulous planning and execution. With factors like application stacks, the cost of migration, existing contracts, and vendor lock-in to consider, a time bound migration becomes even more important.
But after years of success helping our customers to outsource their IT infrastructure, our experience with AWS integration services like Mainframe Modernization Service, Atos has transformed the way organizations approach the move to cloud.
CloudCatalyst, a strategic collaboration between Atos and AWS, is a comprehensive solution that redefines the Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) model. It's about unlocking the potential of mainframe systems. By transforming them into agile, scalable, and cost-effective platforms, CloudCatalyst repositions the organization for sustained success in a digitally driven world.
Planning for seamless cloud migration Our structured migration strategy provides a clear process, instilling confidence and laying the future for a future ready IT environment. The process begins by understanding the unique needs of the organization, and a thorough assessment of the existing mainframe environment using tools such as the Atos Cloud Code Automation Tool (CCAT) to identify the applications, data, and dependencies that need to be migrated.
Security and compliance are addressed with a comprehensive risk assessment, using AWS and Atos tools, to identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. We then prepare a low risk “migrate and modernize” path with an emphasis on automation, scalability, and compatibility. We use automated refactoring to convert legacy systems into modern, agile platforms with minimal modifications to their interfaces – ensuring seamless continuity and functional equivalence.
For Mainframe workloads, Atos offers a full suite of services to tailor our support for Mainframe application migration to the specific needs of each customer. We offer three distinct services:
Mainframe Operations Mainframe-as-a-Service Mainframe Modernization We continuously monitor the migration, to ensure that any issues are promptly identified, resolved and disruptions minimized. Our AWS-certified cloud experts can also help you strategize your adoption of some of the innovation-accelerating opportunities, powered by AWS Cloud.
Continuous service and support is offered by AWS-certified professionals who can offer guidance on the latest tools and processes, while maintaining systems after migration. Moreover, as AWS powers more and more of its data centers with renewable energy, CloudCatalyst contributes to sustainability by enabling carbon reductions of up to 80%3 .
Atos and AWS Atos’s relationship with AWS is based on years of successful cloud migrations for major customers across consumer goods, ecommerce, technology, banking, government, and more. Atos has been an AWS GSI Advanced Consulting Partner since 2013, holds the Migration Delivery Competency, and our AWS certified experts have over 1,000 certifications.
Cloud is the future, and Atos CloudCatalyst is your gateway to unlocking the transformative potential of both your mainframe systems and the latest cloud-based data innovations. Contact us to discover how CloudCatalyst can help you modernize your existing infrastructure.
