Cloud adoption helps you make quicker business decisions when you take advantage of modern infrastructure and use enterprise data more effectively. You can achieve this quickly and more effectively with modernized monolithic applications.
By re-architecting monolithic applications, you can improve application scalability, availability, data discoverability and overall system portability. You’ll reduce vendor lock-in, provide new flexibility to create new products and/or features with faster time to market, and reduce overall application overhead costs.
a. Your business team needs to identify and quantify the cloud’s positive impact on the business in terms of:
b. TCO and business case: build a solid business case by comparing the cost of housing your applications on cloud compared to on-premises or a traditional hosting environment.
c. Clearly defined outcomes: to measure program success accurately.
d. Cloud center of excellence: focused on leading the organizational transformation throughout the cloud migration. Center of excellence instills best practices for infrastructure, database and tools, etc., drives change and inspires a cultural shift to innovation.
e. Change management and communication teams: they help in seamless adoption of new technologies and processes.
The IT leadership team needs to develop a strategy for managing infrastructure, as this will impact the application modernization process:
a. Hitachi Digital Services process: involves collecting and reviewing information about the applications. After a detailed analysis of data, an assessment report is discussed with your team to plan the modernization roadmap.
b. Application assessment workshop: see the details captured during our workshops, which help to better assess the applications:
c. Application scanning: use automated tools to identify points in the architecture and data model to break a monolith up into manageable, right-sized services. This forms the base plan to modernize the application.
The data model needs to be reviewed to prevent API magnification and potential bottlenecks in data access on a new services-based architecture.
To handle the orchestration of new services, automation needs to be reviewed and planned.
A robust log aggregation mechanism and event logging architecture provide the platform for monitoring applications and infrastructure and assuring the health and availability of the systems.
