Google Cloud moves to aid mainframe migration
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
Google bought Cornerstone Technology, whose technology facilitates moving mainframe applications to the cloud.

Google Cloud this week bought a mainframe cloud-migration service firm Cornerstone Technology with an eye toward helping Big Iron customers move workloads to the private and public cloud.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Google said the Cornerstone technology – found in its [G4 platform][1] – will shape the foundation of its future mainframe-to-Google Cloud offerings and help mainframe customers modernize applications and infrastructure.

“Through the use of automated processes, Cornerstone’s tools can break down your Cobol, PL/1, or Assembler programs into services and then make them cloud native, such as within a managed, containerized environment” wrote Howard Weale, Google’s director, Transformation Practice, in a [blog][3] about the buy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“As the industry increasingly builds applications as a set of services, many customers want to break their mainframe monolith programs into either Java monoliths or Java microservices,” Weale stated.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Google Cloud’s Cornerstone service will:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Develop a migration roadmap where Google will assess a customer’s mainframe environment and create a roadmap to a modern services architecture.
|
|||
|
|
* Convert any language to any other language and any database to any other database to prepare applications for modern environments.
|
|||
|
|
* Automate the migration of workloads to the Google Cloud.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Easy mainframe migration will go a long way as Google attracts large enterprises to its cloud,” said Matt Eastwood, senior vice president, Enterprise Infrastructure, Cloud, Developers and Alliances, IDC wrote in a statement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Cornerstone move is also part of Google’s effort stay competitive in the face of mainframe-migration offerings from [Amazon Web Services][4], [IBM/RedHat][5] and [Microsoft][6].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
While the idea of moving legacy applications off the mainframe might indeed be beneficial to a business, Gartner last year warned that such decisions should be taken very deliberately.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“The value gained by moving applications from the traditional enterprise platform onto the next ‘bright, shiny thing’ rarely provides an improvement in the business process or the company’s bottom line. A great deal of analysis must be performed and each cost accounted for,” Gartner stated in a report entitled *[_Considering Leaving Legacy IBM Platforms? Beware, as Cost Savings May Disappoint, While Risking Quality_][7]. * “Legacy platforms may seem old, outdated and due for replacement. Yet IBM and other vendors are continually integrating open-source tools to appeal to more developers while updating the hardware. Application leaders should reassess the capabilities and quality of these platforms before leaving them.”
