  • Mainframe Rehost for SHARE2015 (6.9 MB)
  • Mainframe optimization and MIPS containment/reduction is top of mind in many organizations. After some initial on-mainframe optimizations, many users reach a point where they begin to consider moving workloads off z/OS to achieve a significant MIPS reduction and substantial cost savings.  This session will share examples of customers who have successfully rehosted CICS, IMS, and batch applications while maintaining mainframe-grade QoS. We will describe common premises of rehosting approach, key technical requirements and success factors, and methodology that leads to low risk migrations with predictable timeframe and cost. We will also explore how blending of emulation technologies with advanced configuration-based integration capabilities enables rehosted applications to evolve with no to minimal code changes. Customer examples drawn from Oracle's rehosting projects using Tuxedo Application Runtimes for CICS, IMS, and batch will be used to illustrate the technical architecture requirements for running and supporting rehosted applications in an open systems environment. Come learn how z/OS applications can now run on all flavors of Linux (including z/Linux), AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX, enabling further modernization, out-of-the-box integration with Java, SOA, Big Data, and other technologies - all at a fraction of the z/OS MIPS cost.  See reality of rehosting - successfully migrated applications and substantial cost savings.
