Oracle Re-Hosting Based Modernization

Working with you to develop your personal Modernization Roadmap
Oracle's Re-hosting Based Modernization Solution provides the best modernization solution for organizations looking to migrate legacy mainframe applications quickly, easily and at low cost. Targeting an architecture that combines Oracle Tuxedo as a replacement TP monitor and application platform for COBOL/C/C++, the Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Database - rehosting based modernization provides a solution that allows an organization to migrate applications to a robust, mainframe-class environment on an open systems platform while making the least change possible to current applications.

Re-Hosting Based Modernization
Re-Hosting Based Modernization combines Oracle products and partner services to re-host as much of the application as possible in an "as-is" manner. Using Oracle Tuxedo as a transaction management platform to replace legacy TP monitors such as CICS or IMS TM, COBOL or "C" applications can be quickly and easily migrated to Linux/UNIX with minimal change. For applications based on 4th generation environments and applications accessing legacy databases and file systems, automated migration techniques can be used to quickly transform the 4th generation languages to either COBOL or Java as well as transform legacy database calls to Oracle SQL.

BENEFITS OF RE-HOSTING BASED MODERNIZATION
  • Re-Hosting Based Modernization provides a major step down the modernization road by eliminating the cost of legacy application environments quickly and easily - resulting in large operational cost savings vs. the legacy mainframe. Re-Hosting Based Modernization preserves legacy investment and minimizes migration risk and duration - leading to predictable modernization results.
  • Having migrated to an SOA-ready target environment, organizations can also benefit from rapid SOA-enablement of the migrated application components, making key legacy application logic readily accessible via web services to other applications, BPM business processes, Services Buses, Portals, and other SOA components.
  • Re-hosting Based Modernization also opens the door to further modernization steps, such as re-architecting selected COBOL components as needed, and transparently integrating newly extended or re-architected components with the rest of the application.
