Outdated mainframes: millions to maintain—without key agility that today’s business needs

Mainframe legacy applications are a critical asset to your business, but the current economic climate highlights their limitations and sky-high support costs. When it comes to modernizing mainframe applications, the challenge is to preserve your existing business processes while providing greater flexibility and scalability to slash your total cost of ownership.

LIBER*M mLogica’s LIBER*M suite of software can provide an operating environment analog; one that lets you run mainframe applications on an open platform such as Linux or Intel x86.

This allows secure mainframe application porting with total service continuity—all with the flexibility, scalability and low cost of the cloud!

Migrating Mainframe to the cloud Saves Millions For a large mainframe of more than 11,000 MIPS, the average annual cost per installed MIPS is about $1,600. Hardware and software accounts for 65% of this total, or approximately $1,040.

Consequently, the annual infrastructure cost for a 15,200 MIPS mainframe is approximately $16 million.

As an expert in migrating mainframe to the cloud via automation, mLogica makes low cost, low risk business systems modernization possible. Our proprietary automation methodology is the key to easily migrating large, complex, on-premise or mainframe business applications to a modern cloud platform with maximum speed and accuracy and minimum business disruption.

mLogica clears the way to migrating mainframe to the cloud by effectively reconciling the twin demands of business: protecting the rich functionality of legacy applications while using standard and open-source technologies to slash TCO; turning your systems into a platform for innovation.

Our LIBER*M software suite is designed for the rapid, controlled and virtually seamless modernization of mainframe business applications for your business. Our LIBER*M suite facilitates the re-platforming of legacy application code by translating existing COBOL into a current industry standard language such as JAVA or C++, which can then be compiled to run on a modern on-prem or cloud platform.

The LIBER*M suite of software products combines the best of legacy application modernization approaches, allowing organizations to migrate off mainframes while still fully leveraging their existing legacy assets. We license our compilers and translators to our customers in a subscription model.
