Introducing LzLabs
LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe® enables both Linux and Cloud infrastructure to process thousands of mainframe transactions per second, while maintaining enterprise requirements for reliability, availability, serviceability and security. This software solution includes a faithful re-creation of the primary online, batch and database environments, which enables unrivalled compatibility and exceptional performance, dramatically reducing IT costs.
LzLabs’ software solution allows the executable form of legacy customer mainframe programs to operate without changes and without compromising performance in a contemporary and cost-effective computing environment. Additionally, the solution enables mainframe data to be written and read in its native formats. This new environment works without forcing recompilations of COBOL and PL/1 application programs or making complex changes to the enterprise business environment.
The Challenges
Today, over 70% of the world’s transactions are completed on legacy systems.
ATMs, airline tickets, insurance policies, payroll, government departments, banking transactions and many more run on legacy systems.
Historically, organizations have been forced to abandon compatibility with the mainframe when contemplating moving legacy applications and data to Linux or to the Cloud.
LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe® is a managed software container that provides enterprises with a viable way to shift their applications from mainframes onto Linux computers or private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
61% of legacy systems users intend to or are investigating moving off legacy systems in the next 10 years.
64% of customers expect the usage of legacy systems to increase in the next three years.
