IBM mainframes are still the default choice when uptime is non-negotiable and workloads are heavy, especially with large databases. They scale hard, run for years, and don’t get tired.
Linux on Z (on IFLs, with or without z/VM) lets you use that reliability at a much better cost point than “classic mainframe only,” and often with meaningful licensing advantages when moving core-based software from x86.
We’ve built and maintain z/VM-based Linux on Z installations running business-critical 24/7 systems (some near real-time).
Our services:
Planning new z/VM installations for Linux on Z
- Planning Linux on Z on bare IFLs
- Implementation (z/VM, Linux on Z, or both)
- Monitoring design and rollout
- Ongoing 24/7 monitoring and maintenance
- Strict 24/7 SLAs when needed
If you have a mainframe and you’re not using it for Linux on Z (or you just need more hands on admin), call us.
