Discover, assess, visualize and plan application modernization for your enterprise application estate at scale and with confidence
Overview
Accelerate Java application modernization
Application Modernization Accelerator (AMA) is a tool that accelerates modernization to a Liberty runtime. AMA helps you analyze your entire Java estate, identify modernization paths and build a migration plan aligned with your application strategy. With built-in insights on risk, cost and complexity, AMA takes the guesswork out of modernization—empowering you to move from legacy to future estate with confidence.
Features
Drive faster application transformation
Gain insights into your current application ecosystem that will enable you to understand modernization readiness, surface hidden dependencies and establish a fact-based baseline for informed decision-making. Visualize the ecosystem of applications, databases, queues and the connections between them.
Based on discovery insights, you can plan and prioritize key applications, relevant dependencies and common code that need updating to run on the selected destination runtime. You can create groups so applications with different needs can reach different destinations and see the estimated effort for resolving migration issues, resulting in a migration plan.
Use the IBM AMA Developer Tools with your favorite IDE to load the generated migration plan to assist with infrastructure and deployment changes. By integrating AMA and AMA Dev Tools, you achieve faster delivery, reduced risk and consistent progress from legacy environments to modern, secure and compliant Java runtimes.
Understand the discovered relationships and the effort required for modernization in order to determine the appropriate and ideal modernization strategy to employ.
All levels of Java, Java SE and Jakarta EE are scanned automatically and can be dynamically selected in the analysis. The capabilities of each destination can also be easily compared to enable you to choose the best one for your needs.
