IBM introduces Mainframe Modernization Initiative

IBM has launched a new online hub for customers who want to do more with their Z Series mainframes. The IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Center brings together tools, training, resources and ecosystem partners as the company attempts to reposition the mainframe as “an essential part of a hybrid cloud strategy.”

 

This can be seen as an answer to ‘mainframe modernization’ services from the likes of AWS and Google Cloud that propose to completely replace corporate mainframes with public cloud services.

 

Meredith Stowell, VP for IBM Z Ecosystem, said, "Until now, global businesses that run on IBM Z have had limited choices for a one-stop shop for information and steps to take toward modernization. Coupled with confusing narratives by vendors in the marketplace and accounts of failed migrations, finding a resource IT leaders can turn to can be a challenge. The reality is that the future is hybrid, where IBM Z and Cloud are better together.”

 

Mainframes are a common sight in banking, insurance, and retail, thanks to their ability to efficiently process huge volumes of transactions, and their reputation for security and uptime. Unlike typical servers, these machines can remain in operation for decades, which means many of the mainframes used today might require a serious re-think of their applications and processes.

 

The new IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Center is meant to serve as the first stop for anyone who wants to squeeze more value from their existing mainframe investments. It includes the full roster of mainframe services provided by IBM Consulting, lists services of systems integrators like Capgemini and Deloitte, and technology partners like Fujitsu and Software AG.
