A guide to making mainframe applications cloud native
The Cloud seems stubbornly out of reach for applications that run on mainframes. Big technology players continue to contribute software infrastructure to the cloud, dramatically enhancing opportunities for agility, scalability, micro services and security. Yet, mainframe applications remain isolated from this architecture. With the right deployment approach, that need no longer be the case. Read […]

A graceful path to legacy modernization
What does “modernization” actually mean for organizations seeking to transform mainframe applications, and why, until now, has it been so fraught with risk? As an organization builds up a portfolio of applications to support its business, there is a need for modernization to be understood. As technological possibilities grow and business models change, the demands […]
The art of rehosting mainframe applications
The art of rehosting mainframe applications Find out how applications written and compiled to run on mainframe environments can be run on Linux-based x86_64 systems, without source-code changes or recompilation At a high-level, any application can be made to run on a different platform by modifying and re-compiling its source code to provide a binary […]
The art of rehosting mainframe applications
At a high-level, any application can be made to run on a different platform by modifying and re-compiling its source code to provide a binary module for execution on the target platform. The reason recompilation is required is that the machine level instructions generated by a compiler are particular to the architecture of the underlying […]
