Faster application migration and optimization for Cloud

Pinpoint best migration and optimization path, required code changes, and effort. Automatically.

of Cloud migrations succeed when using subjective, survey-based application assessments.

QA Vector Research

Organizations moving applications to Cloud or optimizing them after a lift-and-shift, need to understand how well they can fit into a Cloud native, PaaS environment.

However, it takes weeks or even months for an architect to access just one application.

CAST Highlight can assess hundreds of applications in days and pinpoint what needs to change for their move and optimization for Cloud

CAST Highlight reads source code, ‘understands’ what changes are needed for a move to a cloud environment, and automatically develops a fact-based roadmap to cloud.

Organizations can rapidly segment and prioritize applications using the Cloud Ready Index based on specific source code patterns that could prevent (Blockers) or accelerate (Boosters) the optimization for cloud.

Cloud Ready Index: A metric calculated by CAST Highlight on a scale of 0 – 100 that measures how ready an application is to be migrated to the cloud in a PaaS (Platform as a Service) state.

Benefits
  • Prioritize cloud candidates based on both technical and business impacts
  • Spot and fix Cloud Blockers that slow down migration or help adopt containers faster
  • Reduce post lift-and-shift consumption by identifying best-fit Cloud native services
  • Detect open source component risks that need addressing

With CAST Highlight you can:

Segment Applications for Cloud Migration & Optimization. IN MINUTES.

Automatically build an objective migration roadmap across an entire application portfolio in seconds using the Portfolio Advisor for Cloud. Segment and prioritize each application into categories such as Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect, Rebuild, or Retire.

Segment Applications for Cloud Migration & Optimization. IN MINUTES.
Pinpoint Cloud Migration Blockers & Boosters. BASED ON FACTS.

Automatically identify Blockers (e.g., Persistent File Usage, COM Components, etc.) and Boosters (e.g., use of a web configuration file, MySQL, etc.). Get accurate guidance on exactly where each of the Blockers occur within the code of each application. Learn how to remediate these Blockers before migration instead of using subjective estimates to ensure a more successful and faster migration.

Pinpoint Cloud Migration Blockers & Boosters. BASED ON FACTS.
Accelerate Cloud Containerization. BASED ON FACTS.

Automatically discover specific source code patterns that prevent adoption of containers and get precise recommendations on how to remove these container blockers.

Accelerate Cloud Containerization. BASED ON FACTS.
Reduce Post Lift-and-Shift Consumption. BASED ON FACTS.

Get recommendations on the specific Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or IBM Cloud native services for each application to utilize to help reduce consumption post lift-and-shift.

Reduce Post Lift-and-Shift Consumption. BASED ON FACTS.
Understand & Mitigate Open Source Risks. IN REAL TIME.

Automatically perform Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to detect all open source components in use throughout the portfolio and the associated risks. Identify security vulnerabilities, open source licensing risks, or obsolete components that need to be addressed or upgraded before a migration in minutes versus the weeks it would take using manual code reviews.

Understand & Mitigate Open Source Risks. IN REAL TIME.
Ensure Multi-Cloud Readiness. BASED ON FACTS.

Receive automated insights on the specific cloud patterns in applications that make it easier to be deployed across multiple cloud platforms.
