Five Steps to Migrate Unisys Mainframes to AWS
By Craig Marble, Senior Director of Legacy Modernization, Astadia
Key Takeaways
- Cloud providers like AWS have proven to be a viable option for running
mainframe application workloads
- The most effective method to exploit the value of Unisys mainframe
applications and data is a transformative migration to modern systems
frameworks in AWS, reusing as much of the original application source as
possible.
- Execute a discover, design, modern, test, and implement cycle to move
mainframe applications.
- Some mainframe migration tools can keep existing code in place, but expect
to replace components and rethink data storage.
The Mainframe Conundrum
If you have a Unisys mainframe, you may be thinking that cloud computing
isn't an option. You'd like to take advantage of all that cloud computing
offers but don't think it's pos... (more)
How Data Science Is Transforming Cancer Treatment Scheduling
By Mohan Giridharadas, Founder & CEO, LeanTaaS iQueue
Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of dealing with a cancer diagnosis -
either personally or as a caregiver to a friend or loved one - must have at
some point wondered why they invariably had to wait well past their treatment
appointment time, every time.
The root cause is that the healthcare scheduling system is broken. Healthcare
providers are using a calculator, spreadsheets and standard electronic health
record (EHR) templates to solve a math problem that demands a cluster of
servers and data scientists to solve effectively.
Most EHRs use scheduling templates that have no real scheduling intelligence
built in. In their efforts to be patient-centric, they typically subscribe to
a first-come, first-served "hair salon" methodology. Even the best among... (more)

Why Composable Infrastructure Instead of HyperConvergence?
HyperConvergence came to market with the objective of being simple, flexible
and to help drive down operating expenses. It reduced the footprint by
bundling the compute/storage/network into one box. This brought a new set of
challenges as the HyperConverged vendors are very focused on their own
proprietary building blocks. If you want to scale in a certain way, let's say
you identified a need for more storage and want to add a device that is not
sold by the HyperConverged vendor, forget about it. This meant that up to now
the HyperConverged vendors were in charge of the requirements.

"We're no longer an airline. We're a software company with wings," claims
Veresh Sita, CIO, Alaska Airlines. The success of today's businesses rests on
software. It is an integral part of infrastructure, so we need to always ask,
"How can it be better? More reliable? More secure?"
Nathen Harvey (@nathenharvey) is the VP of Community Development at Chef and
the co-host of the Food Fight podcast. He is also an evangelist of automating
software operations, which is what he presented on at the 2016 All Day DevOps
conference.
Nathen started his talk by stating that "automation at scale is required for
high velocity IT," making the point that in today's environment, you can't
wait months between deployments. Enterprises are moving to Continuous
Integration/Continuous Deployment, and he advocates for Continuous
Automation.
To implement automation at scale, you have to st... (more)
Environment as Code Expands Dual-Mode Enterprise DevOps
By Amy Johnston
The trend of treating infrastructure as code is growing in popularity and
with good reason. Programmable infrastructure lets you take advantage of
version control, continuous integration, and automated testing — practices
that are proven to work for software development and that are essential for
DevOps success.
But treating infrastructure as code brings a challenge: after you provision
servers, containers, cloud instances, and other parts of your infrastructure
based on the specifications that you’ve defined in code, how do you start
using them in an automated way?
To meet this challenge, XebiaLabs has introduced the Environment as Code
feature in XL Deploy. Environment as Code allows you to define your
infrastructure and environments in code, making it easier for Development and
Operations t... (more)
The origins of SAP GRC software goes back decades, but adoption has been
slow. But with the rigor of modern compliance regimes like SOX, coupled with
the sheer volume and complexity of online transactions, there's been an
accelerating movement away from document-centric review processes to
automation. There are a variety of SAP process control and access control
solutions that can monitor transactions, alert on potential SOD conflicts,
and facilitate remediation.
Companies implementing GRC software stick segregation of duties in IT for
obvious reasons:
IT handles the Basis administration, which implements the security model They
understand security concepts like the principle of least privilege Often,
they're the only ones who can make heads or tails of the SAP GRC software
output
But in reality, sticking segregation of duties in IT is asking for trouble.

Technology integration is complex and an evergreen business challenge for IT
teams. Enterprises setup manual & point to point connections to exchange data
from business partners. However, data disruptions emerge when the business IT
systems expand and prevents organizations from sharing data with partners.
Information exchange with this approach requires more resources and manpower
is required. For such scenarios, information solution experts recommend to
use the B2B data exchange tool to support the Electronic Data Interchange.
However, enterprises are struck in a dilemma to go for an in house or a b2b
solution. This blog will help you in deciding whether to develop an in-house
solution or a dedicated information solution
