During this initiative, IBM
technical experts were tasked toanalyze application inventory
being supported by IBM teammove few of them to Azure
Redhat OpenShift platform.

Industry: Chemicaland Petroleum130+ application were reviewed during this initiative and three were picked as pilot for modernization:
Lessons Learned Application - An ASP.NET MVC application, which is migrated to ASP.NET Core and deployed to Azure RedHat OpenShift Linux containers along withAzure SQL DaaS.
Rail Gauge – Re-architecting one of the Gold service level legacy desktop application written in legacy VB technology to ASP.NET Core MVC.
Control M platform - Job scheduling platform, which has been set up to run in ARO and Azure IaaS.

Situation

Solution

OutcomeClient has wide range of applications createdusing various technologies, many of which are
not supported by respective vendors anymore.
All these applications are running in their onpremise data center, requiring users to use
office network for access.
Most of these legacy technologies areunsupported so that they do not receive
updates and patches to address security
vulnerabilities from respective vendors.
Longer delivery time with legacy source code
management platform and deployment model
which are not compatible with DevOps
methodology.

Applications are upgraded in such a way so that
all-necessary components of it are loosely
coupled.

IBM has successfully upgraded and migrated all
three of these selected applications to Azure
RedHat OpenShift platform with improved
application performance, scalable platform withenhanced reliability and resiliency than everbefore.

Reusability and resource optimization was theprimary focus. Architectural designs arereconstructed, so that all applications are best
fitted in cloud environment.
Focus is given to remove the use of legacy thirdpart assemblies and libraries which causes
performance of the applications.

In addition, IBM has analyzed 30+ of theirapplications and provided expert insight on their
future modernization journey. Using thisinformation client is now planning for the bestroute using their cloud infrastructure and bestpractices which IBM has helped them to set andstabilize . Some of those applications have now
started to get into IBM scope for theirmodernization with paid engagement model.
