OpenFrame Solution Brief Legacy mainframes are expensive and inflexible, and organizations are looking to modernize their systems with minimal business disruption. Many choose mainframe migration solutions, such as OpenFrame. OpenFrame from TmaxSoft gives you the freedom to migrate your legacy mainframe applications on Linux, Unix, Docker Containers or the public cloud. When you migrate your legacy applications, you not only see significant cost savings, but you also get the greater flexibility needed to drive and deliver instantaneous, highly personalized experiences. Quick view Business challenge Product overview OpenFrame migrates legacy COBOL, Many early adopters of IBM mainframes OpenFrame is a complete proprietary Assembler, PL/I, and Easytrieve applications are struggling with the same group of migration solution for IBM, Fujitsu, and on a distributed platform by recompiling issues. What should I do with my legacy Hitachi mainframes. It migrates your legacy the original source code on a Unix/Linux applications? The mainframe offers a very mainframe applications on Linux, Unix, box. OpenFrame supports the migration of stable platform with great performance. Docker Containers or the public cloud. technologies including JCL, CICS, IMS DB/ Many of these applications are used in OpenFrame is the only product on the DC. OpenFrame can be a full mainframe business-critical applications, and need to market that provides a comprehensive replacement, a destination for orphaned be accessible for day to day operations. The solution for migration with its support apps, a way to off load MSU/MIPS, or problem could be a combination of costs for various programming languages, a pathway to the cloud. OpenFrame skyrocketing, longer-term decommission runtime environment, automated security modernizes these mainframe applications plans, integration into modern systems, or migration and various mainframe utilities. by allowing modern API’s to connect to these lack of talent to maintain these applications. • OpenFrame supports various applications, opening up the applications This is where OpenFrame steps in. programming languages including into a three-tiered architecture (UI, OpenFrame allows businesses to pick up COBOL, Assembler, PL/I and Easytrieve. Applications, and data), and moving to open these valuable applications and move them system platforms. OpenFrame is a solution to a new platform. OpenFrame moves the • OpenFrame supports migration of various to many of the problems associated with application without any changes to the runtime environments including JES, legacy applications on the mainframe. source code, JCL’s, and data.
