Many U.S. state and local government (SLG) institutions are still relying on mainframes (non-x86) – a high performance computer with large amounts of memory and processors that process billions of simple calculations and transactions in real time. For many entities, the mainframe is often cited as a central point of gravity that stalls or elongates a large cloud migration. However, the technology landscape of today requires more flexibility and agility at a lower cost than mainframes can provide. As a result, institutions across all market segments are modernizing their mainframes with AWS to reduce costs, increase agility, retire technical debt, and accelerate innovation.
