Modernize IT Infrastructure: Oracle Mainframe Oracle provides the most complete solution for rehosting Rehosting mainframe applications and data intact to open systems without losing business value or sacrificing Quality of Service. The result – customers significantly reduce or eliminate mainframe costs, contain MIPS, and accelerate legacy modernization. “Grupo BBVA has undertaken a Rapid changes in today’s global business . Leveraging compatibility with mainframe major mainframe migration environment drive organizations to reduce the languages and programming models to preserve initiative to reduce MIPS costs of their IT infrastructure and operations, the application’s business logic and valuable data, consumption in Europe and the improve their ability to react to changing business which reduces testing effort, avoids user Americas and lower our IT costs. demands, and minimize reliance on legacy systems re-training and business process impact and retiring mainframe skills—all while improving We have selected Oracle Tuxedo . Architecting an open system target environment competitiveness and business alignment. as the target platform for our CICS to meet mainframe-grade QoS requirements– and IMS applications because of Companies and government organizations face to ensure that migrated applications continue to its robust infrastructure, increasing pressure to deliver more business value meet performance and availability SLAs mainframe compatibility, high and better services from their IT spending and Meeting these challenges requires a uniquely powerful availability, and excellent free up funding for new initiatives. In this solution that supports mainframe applications and performance.” environment reducing mainframe costs and their programming models through compatible online – Antonio Gelart, Director, modernizing legacy applications have become top- and batch runtimes, while running on an application of-mind concerns for CIOs and CFOs alike. Central Systems Transformation - platform that delivers proven, mainframe-grade QoS Business-critical mainframe applications are Technology and Operations, on open systems. It must also: invaluable assets: their embedded business logic BBVA representing years of development and evolution. Enable automated rehosting of application code Among large enterprises, these assets represent and data for faster and low-risk migration 60% - 70% of all business-critical applications . Run on a distributed infrastructure for horizontal “This [Oracle] target architecture consuming two-thirds of IT’s operations budget. scalability and fault-tolerance, and support is CNAM’s first concrete step in Migrating these applications from mainframes to enterprise cloud deployment open systems can dramatically reduce the component-based development. Enable rapid integration and extension of rehosted infrastructure and operations costs and unlock the Functions are now reusable. applications via standards-based and legacy business logic for faster integration and evolution. Development and Maintenance protocols; COBOL, C/C++, or Java modules, workload is reduced.
