CloudEngin Application Modernization on AWS offerings help enterprises in maintaining, extending, deploying, and managing their applications end-to-end in lieu with their current and future business strategic goals. This also depends on situational factors such as strategic business initiatives, application architecture, time, cost, and available skills. Various approaches and techniques for Application Modernization that CloudEngin supports are as follows:
- Rehost – Also known as “Lift & Shift,” is a common approach to migrating applications to the Cloud. We simply would move the application to AWS with minimal adjustments to the infrastructure as a whole. This Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) enables enterprises to immediately reduce operational costs, free up space in their data center, and considerably accelerate any follow-up to their migration process.
- Refactor – This process is about customizing an application so that it is better aligned with the Cloud environment. This often includes modifying the application itself and part of the code to make more use of Cloud-native functions and the flexibility that they offer. Essentially, we would be switching to a PaaS model including AWS mainframe Modernization. With Refactoring, developers can re-use languages, containers, and the framework in which they’ve invested.
- Rearchitect – Some obsolete applications aren’t compatible with the Cloud due to architectural decisions made while building the app. In this case, it would be wise to consider “Rearchitecting.” This allows us to divide the application into several functional components that can be individually adapted and further developed. The individual components, or microservices, can be individually transferred to the Cloud.
- Rebuild – A Rebuild migration strategy means that we completely redevelop the application on a PaaS infrastructure – unlike with Rearchitect, where we only modify parts of the application. It involves removing existing code and redesigning the application in the Cloud, after which we can utilize innovative features on the AWS Cloud platform. A Cloud-native application is cheap to use and highly scalable.
- Replace – A Replace migration strategy completely replaces an existing application with SaaS including AWS mainframe modernization. When an existing SaaS application can provide all the necessary functionalities, Replace is an excellent option to save costs related to IT development.
Leading enterprises are doubling their data footprints multiple times each year. Hence, firms are looking to simultaneously reduce costs, take advantage of newer forms of big data, and enjoy greater flexibility in analyzing information with powerful AI algorithms. All these are possible through data modernization i.e. moving data from legacy databases to modern cloud-based ‘virtual bases’. As an AWS cloud managed services partner of thousands of enterprises worldwide, CloudEngin brings in certified AWS cloud experts and data scientists to deliver the right advice on data migration to cloud platforms and modernize it.

As businesses explore options to shift from traditional data warehouses and scale business operations, cloud platforms have gained immense popularity worldwide. Whether it is public, private, or hybrid, enterprises are continuing to move their workloads and applications to cloud infrastructures. Gartner predicts that more than 50 percent of organizations using the cloud today will transition all their workloads on the cloud by 2021.
Enterprises will no longer lift-and-shift into the virtual world but will instead refactor and rebuild directly in the cloud. While enterprises might retain some mission-critical workloads on-premise, most enterprise data and workflows would be powered by cloud solutions.
At CloudEngin, automated solutions facilitate database auditing, capacity management to platform-supported disruption management, upgrading, and patching – easing complex and voluminous migrations without data loss and downtime.
