IT Managers Top Concerns

IT managers responsible for mainframe operations have identified several items as their top concerns:

• MIPS optimization
• application modernization
• availability
• security
• data centralization
• disaster recovery

MIPS optimization
This is precisely what DataKinetics tableBASE has been doing for the Fortune 500 for many years. Many of the biggest companies in the Banking, Insurance and Financial industries rely on DataKinetics to do just that- optimize their MIPS to control mainframe IT spending and to reduce mainframe TCO. How is this possible? In several ways: by providing the basis for ultra-fast online transaction processing, by accelerating performance in the mainframe batch window, and by reducing application resource usage. See Mainframe IT solutions  for more on MIPS optimization.

Application modernization
Once an organization implements DataKinetics solutions to benefit from MIPS optimization, it becomes apparent that they can reap even more significant savings by modernizing their applications using table-driven programming techniques. See Mainframe IT solutions  for more on application modernization.

Availability, et. al.
The other top concerns (availability, security, data centralization and disaster recovery), along with scalability, are the cornerstone advantages of mainframe computing. They are the most compelling reasons to maintain mission-critical applications like transaction processing and batch processing on the mainframe.
