Lausanne, november
20th, .2012 - Eranea announces today its entrance the eco-system
of CloudBees (Los Altos, USA) as « Verified Partner »
with Cobol2Cloud. This solution allows the automated
migration of business applications written in Cobol to Java, making
them ready for Cloud Computing.
CloudBees is the
undisputed leader of Java infrastructures delivered through “Platform
as a Service” (PaaS). Her vision is to free developers from
management and operations of those infrastructures and to allow them
to leverage all benefits from Cloud Computing. The PaaS services by
CloudBees allow the developers to remain exclusively focused on the
functional improvements of their software assets.
The solution
Cobol2Cloud by Eranea is an extension her technology toward Cloud
Computing. This technology has already been deeply validated on large
migration projects running on the private infrastructures of her
customers. Those projects span a wide range of industries :
finance, media, administration, software publishing, etc.
Active Cobol
applications still represent huge investments : public figures
say that 200+ billions of lines of Cobol source code are productive
in the world. 2 millions programmers add 5 new billions each year.
Consequently, we are all, as consumers, « in touch » over
10 times a day with a Cobol application (phone call billing, credit
card purchase, e-commerce and e-services, etc.)
The combination of
technologies of the two partners, Eranea and CloudBees, brings
forward those very large software assets : legacy Cobol
applications can be « mutated » via automated transcoding
toward Java + html/ajax and Cloud Computing in a very efficient
manner. Then, they can run optimally on the infrastructures RUN@cloud
by CloudBees (application servers : Tomcat, JBoss, etc.) The
generated Java source code becomes, after the migration, the new
source code base of the transformed application. It is maintained
with state-of-the development tools and can easily leverage all
benefits of Java / JEE.
«Eranea
makes Cobol applications Cobol compatible with cloud computing in a
native and standard manner. CloudBees provides corporations with
optimized tools and services to develop, test and operate enterprise
applications in total respect of current standards : Java for
the development and Amazon Web Services for the infrastructure.
Since we got in touch with Eranea, it became obvious, that CloudBees
is the optimal test and operations cloud platform for the
applications transformed by Cobol2Cloud»
says François Dechery, VP International Business Development of
CloudBees.
The Paas services by
CloudBees delivers to those migrated applications all the benefits of
Cloud Computing : maximal flexibility, smooth growth and, last
but not least, optimal costs. In traditional projects on private
infrastructures, savings brought by this modernization exceed very
often 80 % of the TCO of the original system !
«The combination of
technologies by CloudBees and Eranea represents an optimal package to
enterprises willing to enter Cloud Computing while protecting their
huge past investments in homemade applications reflecting their
distinctive know-how and competences » says Didier Durand,
co-founder of Eranea.
This partnership
between Eranea and CloudBees generates a huge potential of savings
and further investments in modernization of legacy Cobol
applications. This technological shift will most probably extend the
life of those applications for a couple of decades, to be added to
those they've already run through !
