Re-platforming is a popular mainframe modernization approach because it’s flexible and transparent to the user. Learn about the phased migration approach Infosys uses for re-platforming mainframe applications. We’ll provide an overview of each step and the corresponding Infosys tools and accelerators we use to ensure successful mainframe migrations, including Micro Focus Enterprise Server (MF-ES).

For many organizations, the amount of data they own and manage is growing at a very high rate, but so is the number of applications they’re responsible for. This growth, coupled with the heterogeneity of technology infrastructure, makes managing IT systems and applications more complex. Veritas solutions, including Veritas Cloud Mobility, help enterprises address information management challenges including backup and recovery, business continuity, software-defined storage, and information governance.

Data is the lifeblood of a digital business and a key competitive advantage for many companies holding large amounts of data in multiple cloud regions. Imperva protects web applications and data assets, and in this post we examine how you can use SQL to analyze big data directly, or to pre-process the data for further analysis by machine learning. You’ll also learn about the benefits and limitations of using SQL, and see examples of clustering and data extraction.

Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics monitors RESTful APIs, URLs, and website content endpoints via synthetic traffic. Dynatrace also offers powerful, integrated synthetic capabilities, but if you use both CloudWatch and Dynatrace you have to switch between their consoles to check status. Now, you can integrate CloudWatch Synthetics into Dynatrace and check for unexpected behavior across both platforms from a single dashboard in your Dynatrace account.

The move to primarily cloud-based operations has pushed enterprises to prioritize digital security mechanisms and regulatory compliance controls to safeguard weaknesses and reduce effects of an attack.

Learn how Mactores helped Seagate Technology to use Apache Hive on Apache Spark for queries larger than 10TB, combined with the use of transient Amazon EMR clusters leveraging Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. It was imperative for Seagate to have systems in place to ensure the cost of collecting, storing, and processing data did not exceed their ROI. Moving to Hive on Spark enabled Seagate to continue processing petabytes of data at scale with significantly lower TCO.

Amazon EC2 Spot Instances let you reduce costs by taking advantage of unused capacity. You can further reduce costs by using the policy-based automation in Qubole Data Platform to balance performance, cost, and SLA requirements anytime you use Spot Instances. Learn how the Qubole Data Platform optimizes your Spot usage, and how it applies policy-based automation to balance your performance, cost, and SLAs whenever you use Amazon EC2 Spot Instances.
