LEGACY APPLICATION MIGRATION TO REAL TIME, PARALLEL PERFORMANCE CLOUD
A system for operating a legacy software application is presented. The system includes a distributed processing service. A wrapper software object is configured both to receive processing requests to a legacy software application from outside the distributed processing service and to send the processing requests using the distributed processing service. Additionally, an encapsulated software object includes the legacy software application and an exoskeleton connection service. The exoskeleton connection service is both configured to accept processing requests from the distributed processing service, and mapped to an application programming interface of the legacy software application.
1 . An automated and computerized method of providing a legacy software application in a cloud computing environment, said method comprising the acts of:
receiving by an automated computer system a legacy software application to be deployed for use in a cloud computing environment;
encapsulating said received legacy software application with an application programming interface (API) wrapper by said automated computer system;
deploying said encapsulated legacy software application in a cloud computing environment; and
automatically cloning multiple instances of said deployed, encapsulated legacy software application by said automated computer system in response to multiple user requests to utilize said deployed to, encapsulated legacy software application.
2 . A computerized system for providing a legacy software application operable and a cloud computing environment, said system comprising:
an automated computer system, for receiving a legacy software application to be deployed for use in a cloud computing environment;
one or more application programming interface wrappers, wherein said automated computer system is responsive to said one or more application programming interface wrappers and to said received legacy software application, for encapsulating said received legacy software application with said application programming interface (API) wrapper by said automated computer system;
responsive to encapsulating said received legacy software application with said application programming Interphase wrapper, deploying said encapsulated legacy software application in a cloud computing environment; and
responsive to multiple user requests to utilize said deployed, encapsulated legacy software application, said automated computer system automatically cloning multiple instances of said deployed, encapsulated legacy software application.
