The Micro Focus Reference Architecture (MFRA) gives organizations a clear and demonstrable understanding of the behavior of their business critical mainframe applications within a distributed environment. It allows them to validate their migration project in a real-life scenario that can be tailored to their specific needs, giving insight into the immediate benefits it could have on performance, flexibility and productivity.
Migrating mission critical mainframe applications is a proven, low risk approach that yields rapid return on investment, releasing budget for reinvestment to support growth. As well as economic and innovation benefits, migrating off the mainframe delivers other advantages as organizations look to rationalize the IT platform strategy. Among the benefits delivered are:
- Reduce application costs by up to 77%
- Significantly reduce the time required to complete batch processes
- Double the number of online transactions achievable in the same time
- Modernize applications sooner by enabling IT to deliver new functionality 40% faster
With over 600 successful migrations, the Micro Focus modernization and migration approach has proved that the MFRA combination of technologies and services delivers the lowest-risk migration solution available today. Organizations can see the evidence for themselves by visiting the MARI installations to view representative examples of how their applications would run on the Microsoft Application Platform.
