Key features

Google’s solutions for mainframe modernization

Google's experienced team of industry experts will work with you to understand the best modernization approach for your business applications.

MAT (Mainframe Assessment Tool)

MAT includes experimental AI-powered capabilities of code analysis, code explanation, and ability to summarize, as well as test creation. The MAT tool leverages Vertex AI that was pre-trained and fine-tuned for legacy languages. MAT supports you starting your journey and provides everything you need to get started with migrating your mainframe workloads to Google Cloud. 

Refactor with G4 + Gen AI

Utilizing Gen AI to summarize code and generate test cases, G4 is both programming language- and platform-independent and can handle the most common legacy languages such as COBOL, JCL, RPG, and convert these into modern Java. Significantly increasing agility and eliminating all dependencies on legacy technologies and skills.

De-risk with Dual Run

Dual Run lets you simultaneously run workloads on your existing mainframe environment and on Google Cloud, allowing you to perform real-time testing and quickly gather data on performance and stability with no disruption to your business. When you’re satisfied with the functional performance equivalence of the two systems, you can make the  Google Cloud environment your new system of record. 

Retain and augment with the Mainframe Connector

Use the Mainframe Connector to move the mainframe data to Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery. Without migrating the application, the Mainframe Connector can replicate the data from DB2, VSAM flat files into Google Cloud where you can utilize the AI/ML services we offer while lowering MIPS consumption used for analytics on the mainframe.
