Statement of good security practices IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, misappropriated or misused or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including for use in attacks on others. No IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product, service or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper use or access. IBM systems, products and services are designed to be part of a lawful comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products or services to be most effective. IBM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY SYSTEMS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE IMMUNE FROM, OR WILL MAKE YOUR ENTERPRISE IMMUNE FROM, THE MALICIOUS OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY PARTY. Please Note: Use of this Program may implicate various laws or regulations, including those related to privacy, data protection, employment, and electronic communications and storage.

For example, E-learning, cloud computing, social networking, virtual laboratories, virtual realities, virtual worlds, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and bring your own device (BYOD) are all new concepts of immersive and global education that have emerged in educational literature. One of the greatest challenges presented to e-learning solutions is the reproduction of the benefits of an educational institution’s physical laboratory. For a university without a computing lab, to obtain hands-on IT training with software, operating systems, networks, servers, storage, and cloud computing similar to that which could be received on a university campus computing lab, it is necessary to use a combination of technological tools. Such teaching tools must promote the transmission of knowledge, encourage interaction and collaboration, and ensure students obtain valuable hands-on experience.

Containerization is a key enabling technology for flexibly delivering workloads to private and public clouds and DevOps. Among their many benefits, containers allow legacy applications to run in almost any host environment without being rewritten – an enormous advantage for enterprises with numerous applications, each composed of thousands of lines of code. To facilitate deployment of containerized workloads and development of new cloud-native applications, companies large and small are modernizing around platforms such as Red Hat OpenShift. IBM has developed a series of middleware tools called IBM Cloud Pak solutions designed to enhance and extend the functionality and capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift. The solutions include Cloud Pak for Data, Business Automation, Watson AIOps, Integration, Network Application, and Security, and give enterprises the fully modular and easy-to- consume capabilities they need to bring the next 80% of their workloads into modern, cloud-based environments.

  • IBM Z/OS Mainframe to Google Cloud Platform Reference Architecture Guide
    WHITE PAPER APRIL/2021 IBM z/OS Mainframe to Google Cloud Platform Reference Architecture Guide Abstract In businesses today, across all market segments, cloud computing has become the focus of current and future technology needs for the enterprise. The cloud offers compelling economics, the latest technologies and platforms, and the agility to adapt your information systems quickly and efficiently. However, many large organizations are burdened by much older, previous generation platforms, typically in the form of an IBM mainframe computing environment. Although old and very expensive to maintain, the IBM mainframe platform continues to run the most important information systems of an organization. The purpose of this reference architecture is to assist business and IT professionals as they prepare plans and project teams to start the process of moving IBM mainframe-based application portfolios to the Google Cloud. We will also share various techniques and methodologies that may be used in forming a complete and effective Legacy Modernization plan. In this document, we will explore: • Why modernize an IBM mainframe • The challenges associated with IBM mainframe modernization • An overview of the IBM mainframe • The IBM mainframe to Google Cloud Reference Architecture • An overview of Google Cloud services • A look at the Astadia Success Methodology This document is part of the Astadia Mainframe to Cloud Modernization Series that leverages Astadia’s 25+ years of mainframe platform modernization expertise. © 2021 Astadia.
