Refactor, replace or replatform: A mainframe migration cheat sheet for business leaders
Modernizing or moving mission-critical workloads to a cloud platform is challenging. Mainframe workloads have strict performance and security requirements and are often governed by stringent rules and regulations.
Your most common questions
Application architecture is ready when it can support change while maintaining reliability, security and performance. Organizations should have reliable data, well-connected systems, clear ownership and strong governance before adopting AI or cloud-native approaches at scale. With that foundation in place, teams can modernize with greater confidence and with less operational risk.
Not every application belongs in the public cloud. Hybrid and multicloud approaches let organizations run workloads in environments that best meet their business, security, compliance and performance needs, while maintaining consistent management and governance. This capability lets you evolve at your own pace without compromising operational stability.
Every architecture decision involves tradeoffs. Start by aligning technology choices with business priorities, then use clear goals and operational data to balance performance, resilience, security and cost. The result: an architecture that can adapt as business needs change while maintaining reliability.
