Vision
After
running tens of years in many complex, sometimes smaller and sometimes
bigger IT environments, VM, VSE and MVS have proved to be solid and reliable
operating systems. Around the year 2000 Linux has become more popular,
particulary in commercial IT systems. Nowadays an increasing number
of companies implement Linux, especially in commercial IT systems.
At the moment Linux is already implemented for a great number of
business critical applications.
Linux
adds functionality to VM, VSE and MVS systems. Linux adds features and
functions who have been impossible for so many years. A combination
of two different worlds can now
be joined into one integrated IT environment with a lot of extra
functions and features. This is not only caused by the fact that
Linux is performing very well under control of VM, but also by the
fact that VSE and MVS applications can easily profit of all the possibilities
Linux has to offer.
Modern
mainframe servers and DASD subsystems under control of VM, VSE, MVS and/or
Linux software are ready to run all your business critical applications
24 hours a day, 7 days per week and 12 months per year. This guaranties
an availability of (nearly) 100% for all your critical applications.
To
be able to meet these goals, operators, system programmers, system
managers and all other IT staff who have to operate and maintain
these kind of systems are faced with high requirements. They need
a high level of proficiency, knowledge and experience.
