The "Frankenstein" Cloud Software Application

Causes, Costs and Remedies

September, 2020

The cloud has become a business imperative and the benefits of moving systems to the cloud are numerous. They deliver on a variety of initiatives. It reduces the manpower and the fixed hardware costs of delivery. It reduces the risk and vulnerability to peril of physical equipment. It enables the ability to scale resources to meet surging demand. And, it improves flexibility in how, when, and where our employees are able to utilize systems to serve customers and other stakeholders. Ask any CIO and you’re not likely to encounter any resistance to the view that systems need to reside in the cloud as quickly and efficiently as possible.

But once you’re in the cloud, what have you achieved? Are you experiencing all the benefits that cloud computing has to offer? This white paper explores how monolithic legacy software applications come to resemble Frankenstein, degrading in the cloud and working against the very benefits of being in the cloud.

    Benefits of AWS Migration

    AWS migration enables rapid access to flexible and low cost IT resources. There's no need for large upfront investments in hardware. And there's no heavy lift of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly what you need to operate your application. Best of all, AWS is designed to scale with the business.

    Scalability

    Services can be ramped up or down at the push of a button in response to a large spike of traffic like that which is brought about by major news releases and seasonality

    Security

    AWS has world class, highly secure data centers and myriad tools for managing privacy of data and access to application services

    Resiliancy

    Multiple geographic regions and availability zones allow you to remain resilient in the face of most failure modes, including natural disasters or system failures

    Speed & Agility

    Develop and deploy Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications faster, eliminating the need for clients to install the software locally or maintain their own internal data centers

    Best In Class PaaS

    AWS provides highly scalable managed services for database, caching, data-warehousing, transcoding, storage, backup and application management

    No Capital Expense

    AWS works as an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) enabling a cloud data center with no investment in physical hardware and saving capital for other core business objectives
