Mainframe Modernization

Modernizing mainframes that contain accumulated years of data is about creating intelligent systems, automated processes and digitizing an enterprise to respond to future needs. This requires gaining complete knowledge of IT infrastructure, and transitioning from monolithic legacy landscapes to an agile, cost effective environment. ShanSys helps clients do just that, non-disruptively.

API Enablement on Mainframe

Renew mainframes with APIs for new digital business capabilities

Accelerate enablement of new user experiences and functionalities through microservices and API’s in an incremental manner with ShanSys.

Shansys builds APIs as microservices using Shansys Cornerstone platform (PaaS) that simplifies creation of microservices for frequently consumed services and enables a caching framework, reducing microservices cost and time by 20-30% and enabling APIs rapidly through extreme automation.

How Shansys renews mainframe, enables APIs and helps achieve digital business capabilities

Using a number of in-house tools and frameworks, Shansys

Enables new business capabilities by exposing the services

Enhances customer experience by developing omni-channel experience

Eliminates paper- based and manual work, and improves employee productivity

Enables agility through reusability, reducing time to market

Batch Offloading

Migrate mainframe workloads to batch

Most mainframe workloads consist of expensive batch processes classifiable into one or more of these categories:

Migration of Mainframe Batch Workloads to ETL Platforms

End of day/month/year processes

Periodic batch/transactional processing

Report and statement generation

Data ingestion and extraction into mainframe database (DB2, IMS, VSAM)

Data transformation and transmission

Data archival and purge

Shansys helps clients identify and offload workloads on to the most suitable platform, deliver better performance, and reduce costs significantly, with leaner and lighter mainframe.

Low value, poorly performing jobs are best suited for Hadoop platform Periodic, mission critical jobs are ideal for Spring Batch Batch processes that are typically involved in Extract, Transform and Load are ideal for ETL platform

Re-Engineering Legacy Systems to Next Generation Architecture

Shansys facilitates organizations that cannot scale- up because of legacy systems transform to next-gen architecture by re-engineering to cloud- native architecture.

Typically done using cloud-native techniques, leveraging micro-services, containers and decoupling, re-engineering creates a new application with similar performance, re-imagines user experience and new business functionalities, allowing customers to take advantage of the scale, innovation and security of the cloud.

Transform to next-gen architecture

Shansys accelerates re-engineering implementation and delivery using proprietary, as well as partner platforms and tools, and extreme automation so clients benefit with:

Platform based re-engineering approach focusing on solutions for high transaction mission critical applications

Industry solutions to drive re-engineering from a business perspective to create next-gen, digital enterprises

Make room for innovation

Overview

Shansys legacy decommissioning solution is a step-by-step approach, providing a comprehensive framework, to achieve speed-to-value, economies of scale, simplified landscape, enable agility, and reduced run cost.

Shansys uses tools and accelerators to help analyze, migrate, and archive data during the decommissioning exercise.

How Shansys makes room for innovation and opportunities with legacy decommissioning

As clients embark on simplifying and optimizing their existing mainframes, having an inclusive decommissioning strategy is essential to ensure that unused or migrated applications are retired and the data is archived for future usage.

The Shansys approach focuses on identifying and assessing applications or portfolios to be decommissioned, a detailed assessment and impact analysis, and solution planning and executing, to help clients benefit from:

Run to Retire: Services for decommissioning portfolio applications and archiving data

Data retrieval as a service: Hot and cold retrieval of data

For an organization that sees great value in the existing applications and at the same time views optimizing costs as the biggest driver to modernize, re-hosting to cloud is the key. With a strong partner ecosystem, ShanSys makes this decision easier for clients.

Shansys can facilitate your organization exit legacy infrastructure, while retaining the capabilities of scalability, resilience, availability, and low-cost with mainframe re-hosting.

Strategy is the key to migrate from mainframe to cloud

Re-hosting is all about 'lifting and shifting' legacy applications and data to an emulation platform, empowered with specialized re-hosting software such as Micro Focus Enterprise Server, TmaxSoft OpenFrame, Oracle Tuxedo ART, Raincode, and modern databases.

By re-hosting, Shansys enables organizations to extend their IT capabilities through integration with multiple enterprise products and solutions, reduce total cost of ownership, and improve agility.

That’s not all. ShanSys is the only company that addresses the heavy computing requirements of high transactional mainframe applications, with the help of TidalScale.

DevOps on mainframes requires a change in mindset as traditional mainframe developers are used to quarterly / monthly releases rather than continuous delivery.
Shansys has developed a lighthouse program in accordance with the consulting team that defines the agile, continuous integration (CI) / continuous deployment (CD) processes specific to mainframes, and has provided an enablement plan to shift from the traditional waterfall approach to new ways of working.

Accelerate DevOps Adoption. Innovate. Automate. Transform.
