The Future of Business Using Enterprise Server Market Review Market Review Paper by Bloor Author David Norfolk Publish date June 2021 The Future of Business …using Enterprise Server 3.0 Services A company has to stay“ in business while modernising its systems and any modernisation must have a clearly documented business case and properly managed risk. What this means is that migrating a working system to a new platform may not be a good use of resources, especially as alternative modernisation options (such as the provision of cloud APIs or Application Programming Interfaces) are available. ” Executive summary he Future of Business will Well, the nub of the business issue we be largely built on the past, spotlight here is that migration to Cloud T for existing companies. is often recommended simplistically as Modernisation of what you have already, a platform for future business, almost as presumably “fit for current purpose” (or you a fashion option, with implied promises wouldn’t be in business) avoids waste and of ultimate agility, elastic capabilities mitigates certain classes of risk (although, without limits and low cost; but the if not done properly, it can add new risks). actuality is often different – and never Modernisation, of course, implies fit for quite being able to complete a migration evolution and change – once modernised, off Enterprise Server 3.0, because the you will be making further changes to business realities won’t let you, is accommodate new business. probably the most expensive scenario Modernisation of what For big enterprises, the world still runs of all. Cloud provides a wide choice of you have already,“ on very large, very resilient, servers – often platforms, some with innovative and presumably “fit for current referred to as “mainframes”, although attractive characteristics, but three truths Bloor prefers the term Enterprise Server remain important: purpose” (or you wouldn’t be in business) avoids 3.0.

And were are not just talking about DB2 relational database but the IMS hierarchical database; Adabas inverted list database and the Natural 4GL; IDMS network database; and others. This is a huge subject, however, deserving a paper in its own right, and we will not look at these further here (Philip and Daniel Howard are looking at ES-3 database tools for Bloor). We will just point out that it is important to compare like with like when assessing ES-3 databases – they may not look very cost effective for small datasets but at the very largest scale, competitors may simply not bother to compete. © 2021 Bloor 4 Modernising Enterprise Server 3.0 Future of Business – modernising ES-3 is still in use, in fact, usage is Enterprise Server 3.0 applications increasing if anything.

    Introducing Linux on IBM z Systems IT simplicity with an enterprise grade Linux platform Wilhelm Mild IBM Executive IT Architect for Mobile, z Systems and Linux © 2016 IBM Corporation IBM Germany What is Linux? . Linux is an operating system – Operating systems are tools which enable computers to function as multi-user, multitasking, and multiprocessing servers. – Linux is typically delivered in a Distribution with many useful tools and Open Source components. Linux is hardware agnostic by design – Linux runs on multiple hardware architectures which means Linux skills are platform independent. Linux is modular and built to coexist with other operating systems – Businesses are using Linux today. More and more businesses proceed with an evolutionary solution strategy based on Linux. 2 © 2016 IBM Corporation What is IBM z Systems ? . IBM z Systems is the family name used by IBM for its mainframe computers – The z Systems families were named for their availability – z stands for zero downtime. The systems are built with spare components capable of hot failovers to ensure continuous operations. IBM z Systems paradigm – The IBM z Systems family maintains full backward compatibility. In effect, current systems are the direct, lineal descendants of System/360, built in 1964, and the System/370 from the 1970s. Many applications written for these systems can still run unmodified on the newest z Systems over five decades later. IBM z Systems variety of Operating Systems – There are different traditional Operating Systems that run on z Systems like z/OS, z/VSE or TPF. With z/VM IBM delivers a mature Hypervisor to virtualize the operating systems.
