Modernizing Telecom Mainframes: How AWS and Astadia Are Powering the Digital Network of the Future

Building on our previous exploration of AWS Mainframe Modernization for the telecommunications industry, we now turn our focus to a powerful partnership that’s revolutionizing the modernization journey for telcos. In this blog post, we delve into how AWS and Astadia, an Amdocs Company, are joining forces to provide a comprehensive, automated solution for mainframe modernization tailored specifically to the unique needs of telecom providers.

While legacy mainframe systems have served the telecommunications industry reliably for decades, they now present significant barriers to innovation in the rapidly evolving 5G landscape. The combined strengths of AWS’s cloud infrastructure and Astadia’s automated refactoring capabilities offer telecommunications companies a proven pathway to overcome these challenges, enabling them to transform their mission-critical applications while preserving essential business logic.

For telecom companies facing pressure to evolve rapidly, automated refactoring offers the fastest, lowest-risk route to modernization. Combining Astadia’s GenAI modernization agent with AWS’s comprehensive cloud infrastructure accelerates the transition to agile architectures. AWS’s global infrastructure, elastic scalability, and pay-as-you-go model optimize costs while providing advanced capabilities like Amazon EKS for containerization, Amazon Aurora for high-performance databases, and Amazon Bedrock for AI/ML services. This approach not only migrates critical mainframe workloads but also enables telecommunications companies to reimagine applications for the digital age, leveraging AWS’s proven security and reliability to unlock new possibilities for innovation and customer-centric services.

AWS Partner Network for Mainframe Modernization

AWS offers a highly scalable, secure, and enterprise-ready cloud platform that makes it particularly well-suited for telecom organizations starting their mainframe modernization journey. Companies benefit from AWS’s elastic infrastructure, which can handle high-throughput, mission-critical workloads traditionally run on mainframes, while enabling global availability and robust disaster recovery.

AWS’s comprehensive approach to mainframe modernization is built on multiple differentiators. AWS mainframe modernization service provide automated tools and proven migration patterns.
