CHALLENGE + IMPACT

Global apps need to enable distributed workloads

The limited scale and monolithic architecture of legacy systems hampers app performance and availability. The result is frustrated users, low adoption rates, and lost business.

Legacy-scale

Legacy relational systems can’t scale

Users expect a fast and reliable experience wherever they go, or they won’t use the app

Expensive

Business downtime is expensive

Even a few minutes of downtime can cost you in lost revenue and user confidence

Users

Users hate slow, unreliable apps

Latency and crashes are the main reasons users abandon an app

Legacy systems can’t serve a global application

Legacy systems are rigid, hard to change, and not designed to process distributed data. These shortcomings limit their ability to scale apps to users located around the world.

  • Apps get slower and less reliable as user volume grows
  • Expansion to new markets becomes risky
  • Infrastructure failures bring apps to a grinding halt
