Generate cloud solution architectures based on your migration strategy and plan your migration roadmap.
Challenge: Finding the right cloud architecture across large application portfolios
Finding the best-suited cloud architecture for hundreds or thousands of applications can quickly become labor intensive. Teams need to compare cloud options, understand costs, evaluate architecture alternatives and align migration decisions with their broader cloud strategy.
Solution
IBM Txture® helps streamline and speed up this process by automatically generating cloud replacement proposals for each application based on collected information. Each proposal includes detailed information, leveraging the IBM Txture knowledge base, so teams can compare options, make migration decisions with confidence and start building a prioritized migration roadmap.
How IBM Txture supports cloud migration planning
Based on assessments and preferences, IBM Txture generates diverse cloud solution architecture options so teams can compare scenarios and identify suitable target architectures.
IBM Txture provides detailed cost comparisons between different providers and technology stacks, such as containerization versus virtualization, and helps compare total cost of ownership across pricing models.
IBM Txture helps teams compare cloud product features, additional services, carbon emissions and pricing options in one platform.
IBM Txture can calculate application needs based on scaling factors and suggest right-sized cloud instances, helping reduce unnecessary costs, electricity use and associated emissions.
IBM Txture helps group applications into migration waves and define migration priorities based on dependencies or disposition strategies.
