Micro Focus Extends its Application Modernization Cloud Solutions to Google Cloud Marketplace
Micro Focus has announced the availability of its Enterprise Suite for application modernization on Google Cloud Marketplace. Organizations can more quickly deploy an enterprise-grade mainframe infrastructure solution on Google Cloud with this new Marketplace availability, which comes at a time when businesses are looking for new and cost-effective ways to deliver on IT strategies through continuous modernization and digital transformation initiatives.
Micro Focus’ application modernization capabilities are combined with Google Cloud’s powerful security, availability, scalability, and administration features, as well as Google Compute Engine (GCE) services, in this announcement.
Neil Fowler, General Manager and VP of the Application Modernization and Connectivity Business, Micro Focus, said in a statement that moving mission-critical workloads from legacy infrastructure to a flexible, scalable, and innovative platform like Google Cloud is a critical step in digital transformation. Organizations must ensure that their core business applications can meet the demands of today’s constantly changing technology and business needs. As a result, 72 percent of COBOL application owners believe that modernization is the best way to digitally transform their strategic core business systems, according to research. Micro Focus’ proven modernization solutions, which can be easily deployed on Google Cloud’s trusted infrastructure via the Google Cloud Marketplace, can help organizations get started on their digital transformation journey more quickly.
Howard Weale, Director, Transformation Practice, Google Cloud, said in a statement that innovation should not be hampered by legacy infrastructure. Adding Micro Focus to Google Cloud Marketplace will accelerate and simplify organizations’ ability to modernize some of the most common mainframe infrastructure in use today, allowing them to achieve their cloud agendas faster while benefiting from industry-leading security, data management, and workload administration capabilities.
Micro Focus’ Enterprise Suite is a product line that allows for the modernization of IBM mainframe PL/I and COBOL applications, processes, and infrastructure, resulting in increased efficiency and time to market. Micro Focus released the enhanced Enterprise Suite, version 8.0, along with Visual COBOL 8.0 last month. Customers now have the option and flexibility to deploy their mainframe applications with Micro Focus to any of the major clouds, with this announcement.
