AWS MAINFRAME MODERNIZATION
Modernize Legacy Systems with Minimal Code Changes and Cloud-Native Agility
Transform Your Legacy with Rocket Software and AWS Mainframe Modernization
Accelerate your AWS Mainframe Modernization strategy by replatforming mission-critical applications using Rocket Software’s Enterprise Suite. This tailored approach enables organizations to preserve the value of existing mainframe investments while seamlessly transitioning to cloud-native environments with minimal code changes.
Replatforming with Rocket Software on AWS ensures faster deployment, reduced risk, and streamlined modernization—helping enterprises achieve operational agility and long-term scalability.
The Four Phases of Replatforming with AWS and Rocket Software
Analyze
Gain deep insights into your existing application landscape using Rocket® Enterprise Analyzer. Accessible directly via the AWS Mainframe Modernization console, this tool maps application dependencies, assesses code complexity, and evaluates cloud-readiness—setting the foundation for effective mainframe replatforming.
Develop
Leverage Rocket® Enterprise Developer, an Eclipse-based IDE, for efficient development and maintenance of COBOL and PL/I applications. Integrated CI/CD pipelines help teams modernize their workflows, improve collaboration, and build confidently on cloud-ready architecture.
Deploy
Deploy replatformed applications to AWS using Rocket® Enterprise Server, a high-performance runtime engine built for scalability, availability, and resilience. The managed runtime in AWS automates provisioning and orchestration—delivering enterprise-class reliability with minimal manual effort.
Operate
Run and manage business-critical applications with AWS-native support for monitoring, updates, and diagnostics. Reduce operational overhead while boosting performance and resilience in a fully managed cloud environment.
