Modernization Articles

	New mainframe migration tools: It's really about app modernization By Wayne Kernochan, SearchDataCenter Mainframe migration tools that promise to move applications from the mainframe to other, typically Linux, platforms -- and thereby cut IT costs significantly -- have become a more realistic option for IT strategists. While the migration tools market remains less than $300 million, indicating that IT still views the risks of migration as unacceptable, reports of successful application migrations continue to increase.
	Legacy Integration: A Critical Part of SOA By Ron Nunan, BJ Online Today's enterprises are making substantial progress in moving enterprise applications to a highly flexible distributed architecture. Commonly referred to as a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), this movement leaves behind the silo or monolithic approach to solving business requirements and has become a requirement for staying competitive in a turbulent market.

But as technology evolved, relational database management systems (RDBMSs) have largely replaced these pre-relational databases as the preferred choice by information technology departments. As a result, many organizations now run a mix of pre-relational and relational systems and are looking for a way to migrate their remaining applications to RDBMSs.
