With IBM WebSphere software solutions on System z, you get the same modern application development experience as on other platforms – but with a superior runtime experience, because the mainframe solution is inherently simpler, more efficient and easier to manage.
Simplification that saves. With System z you can build, deploy and manage a multitude of applications, including popular technologies like Web 2.0 and Java. Sharing the System z infrastructure enables them to run more efficiently, saving you money, staffing, and time to market. (For a real-world example, see how Nationwide Insurance is saving an estimated $15M by moving all new development to Linux on System z.)
Simplicity built for speed. System z solutions are designed to scale while managing a wide variety of applications – including the entire WebSphere software portfolio, and many other software offerings designed to optimize and exploit its intrinsic strengths. Consider Allied Irish Banks, which replaced its entire retail core bank platform with an off-the-shelf package on System z to achieve faster speed-to-market, quick response to regulatory changes and reductions in cost.
Simplifying integration. The mainframe infrastructure enables standard, reliable communication between applications – dramatically reducing the need for connectivity-related coding. The result is cleaner application linkages, easier development and faster response to business demands. Consider Ball State University, which implemented reusable Web services on the mainframe in record time to solve connectivity problems which were impacting their operations.
Simplicity and strength. Our clients are discovering how System z’s capabilities to simplify and integrate modern and core applications are as good as – or better than – that of other platforms. What’s more, they get all the native strengths of the mainframe, including higher quality of service, superior and more seamless automation, and capabilities that allow them to reduce costs and leverage existing modern skill sets.
