While the global Hadoop-as-a-service market size is growing at a CAGR of ~39%, it leaves out many small, mid, and large-scale organizational players due to the inherent pains of migration. This post explores how Virtusa complements Amazon EMR Migration by providing approaches and utilities to streamline and manage large-scale Hadoop-to-Amazon EMR migrations by creating a migration framework of automated modules.

To enhance organizational, operational, and technical capabilities, many businesses are migrating their applications to AWS. This post walks through the lift and shift migration of a supply chain customer’s mission-critical legacy applications to emulated SPARCs on AWS utilizing Charon-SSP, the legacy SPARC emulator from Stromasys, and common Solaris-native tools. We’ll describe the customer’s context, Stromasys technical solution, and explore a successful lift and shift of a Solaris application, as-is, to AWS.

The demand for cloud talent is rising as the reach of transformative cloud technologies continues to grow. In turn, this increases pressure on human resources (HR) to successfully recruit, retain, and reskill top industry talent.

For many organizations, SAP S/4HANA adoption is often hindered by cost and time constraints or concerns about business continuity. With TCS Crystallus pre-configured industry and business solutions, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) helps organizations overcome these challenges and provides a seamless journey to SAP S/4HANA with cloud adoption of AWS for their mission-critical SAP workloads.

Numerous legacy workloads, still hosted on premises, are mission-critical and hardly interruptible. Their migration to AWS must happen quasi-transparently for their users. This post details how the combination of AWS Outposts and CloudEndure can be used to solve for this issue. We demonstrate this by migrating a Solaris machine making use of the Charon SSP emulator by Stromasys, running on standard Amazon EC2 instances and using CloudEndure.

Companies are doubling down on developing operational maturity strategies and execution postures. Planning for disaster recovery is a vital aspect of an organization’s business continuity plan. The Cutover platform, along with CloudEndure, provide a best-in-class integration for operational resilience. At the core of the platform is the Cutover runbooks feature, which can be thought of as a dynamic to-do list. This allows you to bring together the teams, tools, and tasks involved in a program of work in order.

This post explains the challenges faced by customers running SAP ECC environments on premises and how IBM can accelerate their S/4 HANA transformation journey to AWS. The IBM Accelerated Move Centre (AMC) delivers a cost-effective approach to SAP S/4HANA transformations, enabling customers to migrate and modernize, utilize existing investments, reduce costs, and embrace cloud innovations.

When implemented in legacy on-premises systems, business rules tend to be rigid in nature and impact business agility. By using a combination of AWS managed services, Capgemini can build a cloud-based rules engine that can be scaled to increasing data volume, easily configured, and quickly accessed. This enables organizations to be completely agile in developing new business rules, or updating/retiring business rules, without relying on IT.
