Re-Platform to the iSeries
Challenged with increasing sustenance cost and a compulsive need to improve the accessibility of legacy applications aggravated due to shrinking pool of legacy programming resources, re-hosting to the “System i” could be an option you would like to evaluate. Re-hosting retains the intellectual capital of your organization, grown over multiple years of investment, preserves ownership of critical applications and allows unlimited future modification and development.
In a recent ITG paper on a comparative study on price/ performance of mid to large sized companies, it is highlighted how “System i” continues to enjoy the lowest TCO in comparison to Wintel-based client/ server platforms with the new power class of servers. With its integrated application, database and development environments, the sustenance cost is significantly reduced continuing to provide the same trusted reliability and scalability requirements provided by your legacy infrastructure.
20-30% savings over a three-year period
Upto 20-30% reduced TCO for a mid-sized Mainframe Application Environment over a three-year period can be achieved with re-hosting to the “System i”. Significant savings are gained in reduction of MIPS usage cost and reduced sustenance cost. The re-hosting to iSeries is enabled through an automated tool-based approach minimizing the risk of tried and tested re-hosting.
