LzLabs Software
Defined Mainframe®
Revitalise Your Legacy Applications and Data
Do your mainframe systems feel like both a valuable asset and a barrier to your business growth? Are you struggling with the risks, costs and time commitments of rebuilding your business-critical application portfolio?
With LzLabs, you can accelerate your modernisation journey, preserve the investment in your intellectual property and reduce costs.
From Mainframe to Modern Infrastructure:
A Seamless Evolution.
Welcome to a world where legacy applications and data align with your organisation’s innovation initiatives. The LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe® (SDM) offers a flexible, low-risk solution for integrating, optimising, and future-proofing your core and especially your complex applications. Transition your mainframe workloads seamlessly to a modern infrastructure without compromising performance, security, or reliability.
With the SDM, you can:
Prioritise and sequence which
mainframe applications to migrate when.
In the journey to modernisation, you are in control. With the LzLabs SDM, you can decide which mainframe workloads, applications and data to move to new environments and which to keep running on your existing infrastructure. Select the systems most strategic for innovation and transfer them to open environments such as cloud or hybrid models. This flexible approach minimises disruption to ongoing business operations and reduces complexity—ensuring a smooth, controlled transition that aligns with your organisation’s priorities.
Move databases to the SDM and make them accessible for business intelligence.
Start small by migrating a core database to the SDM, immediately making the data accessible to business intelligence tools in real time. By connecting your legacy data to modern BI platforms, you can unlock insights that were previously hard to access, enabling faster, data-driven decisions. This incremental migration is the first step to fully realising the potential of your legacy data, now available for dynamic reporting, analysis, and strategy development.
Transfer legacy applications to the SDM and connect them with the modern world.
Modernise strategically by moving one application at-a-time to the SDM, where it can seamlessly interact with both the legacy and the open world. Through advanced APIs, the application integrates smoothly with other business tools, cloud resources, and even mainframe-stored data. This connectivity provides unmatched flexibility—allowing applications to harness cloud-scale resources and access essential mainframe data, transforming them into powerful assets for your business’ hybrid IT ecosystem.
Modernise your applications continuously.
Optimise performance and integration by incrementally adding applications on the SDM, creating a seamless bridge between legacy and modern architectures. The SDM ensures secure data access and compatibility with cloud services, enhancing connectivity and functionality in hybrid environments. Advanced data management capabilities allow for the easy integration of legacy data with analytics tools, generating insights from historical and real-time data. The SDM integrates legacy and modern security protocols, providing robust access control and compliance essential for a hybrid infrastructure. Last but not least, benefit from state-of-the-art DevOps capabilities that enable faster time-to-market.
LzLabs’ consultative transformation approach offers comprehensive support, facilitating gradual knowledge transfer and helping organisations embrace modernisation with confidence and continuity.
