For more than thirty years now IBM mainframe technology symbolizes the very top in computer technology, and numerous computer centres around the world using the mainframe as a central server serve as the best evidence of that. See more on this technology!
Services we provide in this area cover a wide range of technologies, starting with traditional ones or the so-called legacy technologies which include z/OS and z/VM operating systems as well as the leading mainframe subsystem for database management DB2 and the very reliable and efficient transactional subsystem CICS.
Although for decades this products have provided a quality support and the basis for developing enterprise applications and still make a central core for IT operation of most large companies, nowadays in order to have a quick and quality reaction to complex business demands one does need a bit more. This “bit more” comes under the name of service oriented architecture (SOA), and the products forming a base of SOA infrastructure on the mainframe platform include WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker. Our experts have in due time acquired the necessary know-how and experience in this field as in other and are capable of providing you with the support during implementation of the latest technologies and products on the mainframe platform.
SOA on zSeries
In order to have reliable applications and systems functioning accordingly one needs among other things a quality monitoring mechanism which can point and react to possible difficulties in running of the applications or operating system and subsystem on time. Today most mainframe installations base such a monitoring system on IBM Tivoli Omegamon XE technology. Our services include providing support in this growingly sought after area as well.
If you desire to step into the world of virtualisation on your favourite platform we could help you with that too. We are familiar with z/VM, we are familiar with Linux on zSeries, and we know how to mix a top virtualisation machine with these two ingredients and enable you to profit from all the advantages Linux brings on a quality hardware zSeries infrastructure.
We can safely say how today there almost isn’t a company which founds its IT support solely on one platform, and business applications go across the complex systems which apart from the mainframe platform involve other operating systems, application servers and databases. For that reason, we also have been expanding our views and can share with you our knowledge and expertise in the projects involving connection of the mainframe with ‘the rest of’ the world.
