CAST Software
CAST Highlight automatically analyzes application source code of an entire application portfolio to manage open source risk and develop a fact-based roadmap to the cloud. Organizations can rapidly segment and prioritize applications based on specific patterns found in application source code that could prevent or accelerate cloud migration.
CAST Highlight features include:
- Cloud candidate prioritization based on both technical and business impacts
- Risk detection for open source components that can be addressed before migration
- Cloud migration roadmaps built by fact-based software analytics
- Application portfolio health assessment and tracking

Bain & Company sought out a way to rationalize their client’s diverse, fragmented application portfolio as well as modernize key legacy systems. Bain utilized CAST Highlight to rapidly analyze source code from 26 applications that were candidates for modernization, determining the health and cloud readiness for each. CAST Highlight enabled Bain to complete its assessment and generate a modernization roadmap in a few days rather than several weeks.
We worked with CAST and blew our client’s mind. Within a month we were able to deliver tangible insights.

RISC Networks
RISC Networks CloudScape is a trusted cloud assessment solution designed to simplify the planning, costing, and execution of cloud migrations. CloudScape begins with agentless discovery to provide a view of your environment. It then identifies accessible targets for migration.

Media and entertainment (M&E) companies wanting to migrate to the cloud are turning to CloudScape to simplify workload analysis. The CloudScape solution provides a complete view of workload interdependencies as well as any interconnected network traffic between workloads. This visibility enables you to take advantage of new solutions and services. Services such as web hosting, mobile apps, video on demand, and media services continue to run without interrupting OpenStack configurations or disrupting subscribers. CloudScape allows you to right size and compare costs and resource requirements, reducing infrastructure as a service (IaaS) by an average of 66%. M&E professionals can now realize the full benefits of RISC Networks CloudScape through these product features:
- Review of your environment, including network devices, routers, switches, servers, and more

Turner Broadcasting System, a global media company, used RISC CloudScape to optimize its on-premises environment to migrate to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The scan revealed 1,000 servers running, but not being utilized. It was identified in one instance that 114 servers weren’t active, at all. They were able to shut down these servers to realize immediate savings. RISC also enabled Turner to analyze their subdivisions and break down the entire migration into smaller, optimized parts, leading to successful migrations.
Prior to bringing RISC in…we had no idea. When we completed the scan…I knew how many servers we had, I knew where they were, and I knew what they talked to. I knew at what capacity they were running, and I knew what they would be when they go to AWS.

NimbleCommerce had to reduce its deployment costs without sacrificing performance. The company quickly configured an environment on Cloudamize. A week after implementation, the company had actionable recommendations in place to optimize its Amazon Web Services (AWS) deployment. It reduced AWS spend by 46 percent, developed an optimal performance roadmap, and decreased the time spent planning for future scenarios to minutes.
With Cloudamize, we've optimized our current AWS deployment and we're now able to make confident planning decisions to support our business needs.
