For some, the plan is for distributed systems and mainframe to coexist. There are mission-critical applications on the mainframe, and mainframe development is still going on. Typically, there is still investment in both the mainframe systems and the distributed systems—there is interest in reducing cost, and saving on computing resources (MIPS, etc.).

DataKinetics provides several solutions for problems affecting these organizations.

tableBASE is a mature, best-in-class mainframe optimization product that allows considerable cost savings on mainframe operations, along with significant increases in performance and throughput of both batch and online mainframe applications.

Fig 1: Modernization

tableDIRECT, a reference data distribution product, and netTABLES, a distributed systems data manager, are used for the efficient data interoperability between mainframe systems and distributed systems.

mainframeDIRECT, an application modernization product, provides the capability for the immediate modernization of selected mainframe applications, allowing for early acceptance and accelerated training of personnel.

DataKinetics professional services can help with both the optimization and tuning of existing mainframe applications, as well as making mainframe data accessible to distributed system applications.
