OpenLegacy Hub modernizes mainframes without disrupting critical operations
OpenLegacy has unveiled OpenLegacy Hub, a new platform designed to modernise outdated mainframe systems without causing service interruptions. The solution integrates with Amazon Web Services (AWS), offering businesses a smoother path to cloud migration while keeping critical operations running.
The platform allows companies to gradually update legacy applications built on technologies like COBOL, CICS, and IBM-i. Instead of risky full-scale replacements, organisations can shift core business logic to cloud-native services in stages. This approach maintains system availability and reduces potential downtime during transitions.
OpenLegacy Hub converts legacy data and functions into secure APIs and event-driven services. These can then connect with modern cloud applications and AI tools, making older systems more adaptable. The platform also supports parallel operation of legacy and cloud environments, lowering migration risks for businesses in sectors like banking, insurance, and telecommunications. Built directly on AWS, the solution will be accessible via the AWS Marketplace. This integration aligns with enterprise strategies for cloud adoption, particularly for industries where gradual modernisation is preferred over sudden overhauls. The model is gaining popularity as firms look to cut technical debt and prepare legacy infrastructure for digital transformation.
OpenLegacy Hub provides a way for businesses to modernise mainframes incrementally while keeping services live. By leveraging AWS tools and enabling API-driven integration, the platform helps organisations transition legacy systems into cloud-ready environments. The solution will be available to AWS users, offering a practical route for enterprises managing complex IT upgrades.
