FastTrack Factory: The Industrialization of Mainframe-to-Cloud Migration
How Automation Dramatically Reduces Risk and Cuts Implementation Time in Legacy Application Modernization
Use the best-in-class conversion, testing, and automation software to move mainframe workloads to cloud at scale, faster, and safely.
Mainframe modernization is a complex undertaking. Every project scenario is unique, requiring a carefully considered approach to assessing current system attributes, designing the desired end state, and managing the migration of applications and data. Traditionally, IT leaders have chosen to mitigate risk by limiting scope or by taking an incremental approach in which major subsystems are migrated one at a time.
Introducing the Astadia FastTrack Factory: a unique software toolset that automates the process of moving IBM and Unisys mainframe applications and databases to distributed and cloud computing platforms.
FastTrack enables the industrialization of mainframe-to-cloud migration, a process in which planning, design, testing, and execution are integrated into a fully-automated “factory” approach that allows for unlimited iterations of testing using actual production data, at virtually zero marginal cost.
In this white paper, we’ll take a deeper dive into the concept of industrialized migration to offer a more complete picture of how it works and the tremendous value it provides.
You’ll learn:
- The three levels of automation in legacy application modernization
- FastTrack Factory overview
- Automated migration and testing tools
- A holistic approach to automated migration
- How FastTrack was used in over 300 successful mainframe modernization projects
