Legacy Technology Got You Down? Try Microservices and Cloud-Native Architecture
With the rise of hybrid IT and cloud-native computing there are many more modernization options available. Expert, Jason Bloomberg shares his insights.
MoreMainframe Modernization — Direct, Phased, Risk‑Free
Expose z/OS logic and data as REST, GraphQL, or events in minutes—no middleware, no downtime.
Top Mainframe Challenges OpenLegacy Addresses
Monolithic architecture
Difficulty migrating from monolithic mainframe applications to modern microservices architectures. The languages and approaches are very different making integration and communication complex.
Reliance on middleware
Reliance on complex middleware for connections. Traditional middleware creates performance bottlenecks and maintenance headaches compared to more modern integration approaches.
Complex and hard to reach data sources
Accessing and extracting data from legacy mainframe data sources like VSAM files. This is a manual, time-consuming process but that data needs to be leveraged for things like regulatory compliance.
