With the new IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Center, IBM and its partners are providing customers the tools, resources and training they need to successfully modernize and transform mainframe-based applications, data and processes in hybrid cloud environments, and thus maximize their IBM Z investments."Īs part of the IBM Z Cloud and Modernization Center, clients can access a digital journey showcasing comprehensive resources and guidance for business professionals, IT executives and developers alike. For well over two decades, IBM has ensured that Z mainframes addressed vital requirements in both existing and emerging applications and use cases, including Linux, open systems and hybrid cloud. "However, another crucial feature-adaptability-is just as important. "The world class reliability and security of IBM's Z solutions have contributed significantly to the mainframe's remarkable longevity and business value for enterprise customers," said Charles King, PUND-IT. Leveraging decades of experience resident in IBM Consulting and IBM's key ecosystem partners, this includes a detailed assessment of the client's IT and business objectives, modernization of existing apps and data to extend them to the cloud, including IBM Cloud and third-party hyperscalers, and developing new cloud native apps and integrating them with existing apps and data already on IBM Z. With the IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Center, clients can gain insights on maintaining their current IT estate, while focusing on the design and execution of a strategy for their core applications and data running on IBM Z to prepare for hybrid cloud. However, to truly leverage the benefits of hybrid cloud, organizations must continue to modernize their applications and data. Today, many IBM Z clients are running on modern infrastructure.
A Hurwitz and Associates whitepaper sponsored by IBM confirms this additional value is derived by: business acceleration, developer productivity, infrastructure cost efficiency, regulatory, compliance and security and deployment flexibility 2. Further, an IBM hybrid cloud transformation that integrates IBM Z can extend up to 5x the value of a public cloud only approach 1.

And together they help secure operations, reduce latency, and drive legacy processes to a higher levels of business agility.Īccording to a recent IBM Institute for Business Value survey, " The hybrid cloud platform advantage," the value derived from a full hybrid, multicloud platform technology and operating model at scale is 2.5 times the value derived from a single-platform, single-cloud vendor approach. They are seamlessly intertwined in delivering cutting-edge enterprise-wide agility and capability. The report confirmed that executives view modernizing mainframe-based applications-and connecting them with new applications through a hybrid cloud environment-as crucial to driving a holistic digital transformation strategy across the mainframe and cloud.
Four out of five respondents say their organizations need to rapidly transform to keep up with competition, which includes modernizing mainframe-based apps and adopting a more open approach. In the IBM Institute for Business Value study, " Application Modernization on the Mainframe," 71 percent of executives say mainframe-based applications are central to their business strategy.
