Your challenge

Organizations are aggressively looking to move legacy applications to the cloud in order to lower the total cost of ownership, increase agility, and decrease risk.

79% of these organizations believe this effort is hindering their digital transformation initiatives due to a lack of skill, a lack of budget, and outdated processes or tooling.

Legacy applications can cost any organization up to a 15% budget increase every year for maintenance. As a result, organizations are looking to overcome these skill, budget, and tooling challenges.

Organizations are lowering the barrier to entry by using Waratek's compliance and security solution Elevate. Elevate virtually upgrades your apps without code changes, downtime, or human capital.

The solution

Waratek Elevate wraps your legacy applications in a modern version of JRE, allowing security teams to package legacy applications in a portable, infrastructure-agnostic container to instantly take advantage of the lower total cost of ownership, increased agility, and decreased risk of a modern tech stack.

Elevate is the only no-code legacy modernization solution known to increase performance without code changes. In other scenarios where performance cannot be improved, the overhead is less than 2% in production.

Outcomes

Ultra-low performance overhead: Experience less than 2% performance overhead on average, with increased performance in select applications
No-code upgrades: Virtual upgrade your out-of-support applications without the need for code changes, downtime or extra headcount
Extend application lifetime: Get the most out of your investment while adhering to industry and regulatory compliance

I recall during the initial discussions of the solution, I was a bit skeptical of what I was hearing. Day one protection, easy installation, customizable rules etc. My skepticism quickly diminished. Our deployment was one of the easiest I’ve experienced, and we reaped the benefits of Day One protection the moment we turned it on.
