No one can deny that the mainframe is as relevant today as it has ever been; however, growth in the z/OS environment is also something that most organizations struggle with. So the question continues to be asked, “How can we control or reduce our MIPS usage?”
Service oriented architecture (SOA) and web enablement have validated the concepts of mainframe integration, but the price is increased MIPS usage to support the effort. GT Software has faced your challenge head on by allowing you to move ALL your SOA and web service related MIPS to zLinux where the MIPS are free, and un-throttled. The Ivory Server for zLinux allows you to say YES to the challenges you’re facing today:
The Ivory Server for zLinux allows you to offload 100% of your SOA and Web services work load – meaning that mainframe integration has zero impact on your general purpose processor (GPP). Besides relieving your GPP of additional MIPS, communications back to the GPP are also enhanced because of the availability of Hipersockets. Hipersockets provide near memory speed within the zServer architecture for IP processing.
From zLinux, you still have access to all of the powerful features of CICS such as transactional control, commit/rollback, and units of work. COMMAREA programs, Channel/Container applications, Link3270 transactions are run just like they are today from CICS.
Two primary Linux distributions are available on Linux S390 or zLinux: Red Hat and Suse. The same packages you use on Intel are what you’ll be using on S390. Finally, because zLinux runs on S390, it comes with all the necessary drivers to support connections to the mainframe.
Are you looking to save money, reduce MIPS, or expand your mainframe SOA strategy without impacting your GPP?
