mLogica Thought Leaders: Data Resiliency and GenAI-powered Modernization—a Strategic Convergence

The amount of information available to businesses grows exponentially every year. Utilized properly, this data—about your customers, competitors and global factors that affect demand, production, distribution and more, provides unlimited opportunities for success. But your business strategies can only be as good as your tools, and when it comes to ingesting, leveraging and protecting that critical incoming information, the tool that matters most is your database.

Until recently, businesses have been constrained by their existing technology, and even when they decided to modernize to the cloud, they were limited to the database options offered by that cloud provider. But finally private and public sector organizations have a revolutionary new option.

A cloud-native, cloud-agnostic distributed SQL database, CockroachDB is built for mission-critical workloads powering global applications that require highest availability, performance and data consistency across any infrastructure. It offers resiliency and scalability that support complex, enterprise-level workloads and applications, plus a wide range of features to meet the growing data challenges of the enterprise solutions market

By contrast, adding server nodes via horizontal scaling eliminates the "single point of failure" hazard to ensure continuous availability. CockroachDB’s on-demand horizontal scalability lets users quickly increase capacity by adding nodes, yet the overall system acts as a single database, saving time and reducing the operational and maintenance costs of separate database servers.

Data Resiliency: CockroachDB provides a resilient management system for businesses to store and manage data in a distributed architecture, and built-in geo-partitioning allows compartmentalization that lets users store, manage and access data across multiple regions.

Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) Support: CockroachDB processes transaction-heavy OLTP workloads to support distributed, ACID-compliant transactions. This is particularly beneficial for financial enterprises with transaction-oriented applications that are accessed by many users simultaneously.

The key feature that makes CockroachDB stand out is its distributed architecture that supports data replication across a network of interconnected nodes. This network behaves as a single distributed SQL database server, ensuring uninterrupted data access in case a node crashes. This built-in data resiliency makes CockroachDB one of the most robust, reliable databases for highly regulated businesses, including banks, health care, insurance, telecommunications, as well as public sector organizations that can’t afford service disruptions in times of crisis.

Migrating complex legacy systems can be challenging, especially when it involves a distributed environment. Since a distributed environment manages various applications, databases and software across a network, there are a range of complexities and risks.

mLogica’s GenAI-powered LIBER*M Mainframe Modernization Suite and STAR*M Distributed Workload Modernization solutions automate migration to CockroachDB—on the cloud platform of your choice—slashing the time, costs and risks associated with legacy database migration and speeding up deployment in the cloud.

Using human resources to convert (refactor) business applications to work on a new cloud platform is a time-consuming process rife with project-delaying errors. By contrast, automated, GenAI-driven conversion tools expedite high volume code translation tasks, making migration faster, more accurate and more cost-effective.

Comprehensive Assessment: We provide comprehensive, automated assessment of a company’s existing inventory, including application portfolio, databases, software, supporting technologies and more. This allows our team to determine which components are migration-ready and to identify all interdependencies and potential risks.

Automation Equals Acceleration: mLogica’s LIBER*M and STAR*M suites automate code translation to accelerate migration from the source to the target database, eliminating costly human error, minimizing the need for manual intervention and allowing your team to focus on daily business functions.

Unfortunately, many migration projects fail due to unaddressed supporting technologies that are frequently overlooked during the initial assessment phase. We call this the Last Mile Challenge.

At mLogica, we conduct an in-depth assessment of a client’s existing environment to analyze the complete technology stack, including the exotic technologies and small tools that support key applications and databases. Armed with these granular insights, our team can build an accurate, detailed migration roadmap.

The bottom line? CockroachDB provides a comprehensive solution for private and public sector organizations that need to deliver optimal user experiences while ensuring uninterrupted availability and top data protection. Its unmatched horizontal scalability and data resiliency, along with cloud-native features, offer a custom solution on the cloud platform of your choice.

As a trusted Cockroach Labs migration partner, mLogica delivers secure, GenAI-powered database migration solutions that help clients move their legacy and mainframe database systems securely and seamlessly to CockroachDB in the cloud.
