"CAST Highlight should be of great help for any company that needs to migrate its application portfolio to the cloud." Stephane GOUDEAU, Cloud Architect at Microsoft

Build your smart Cloud Migration Roadmap with Fact-Based Software Analytics

Developed with some of the smartest cloud experts across the globe, Highlight helps you quickly and objectively assess your application portfolio for PaaS migration. It automatically builds your migration strategy by identifying where to start, quick wins, and applications that will take longer to migrate. Where a Cloud expert could spend weeks to measure the capability for a single application to move to PaaS, Highlight CloudReady makes it possible on the entire portfolio – in only days.

Spot software blockers that slow down your Cloud migration journey

Highlight scans 140 + different code patterns that make an application harder to migrate and run smoothly in the Cloud. Track issues like the use of COM components, usage of middleware, usage of system DLLs, impersonate identity, unsupported SQL functions – and monitor improvements over time. Currently supported technologies are Java, C#, PHP, Python, VB.Net and T-SQL (Javascript coming soon).

Identify boosters to PaaS

As Highlight spots impediments to move to the cloud, it also detects applications which already use and/or are the best candidates for PaaS services. CAST Highlight supports 60+ booster patterns detecting or predicting PaaS services such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticache, cloud-based Active Directory, key vault, etc.
