Modernize Mainframe Workload into AWS with TmaxSoft OpenFrame

Mainframes continue to support major applications in many enterprises, running the software that is core to their business. With age have come fixes, bolt-ons and spaghetti architecture, but some businesses believe replacing the mainframe with a new one or totally rewriting applications is too expensive for their budgets. The good news is that replatforming with TmaxSoft OpenFrame and Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cost-effective solution to aging mainframe workloads.

In this webinar, we describe the replatforming components, why the combined solution is unique, and walk through a customer case study and the respective challenges that have been encountered. TmaxSoft is an AWS Mainframe Modernization Competency Partner and global software innovator focused on infrastructure and data modernization.

OpenFrame Benefits

OpenFrame is a proven solution for quickly moving legacy mainframe applications and data to an open system environment with no changes to the business logic.

Hear how OpenFrame helped one company innovate while increasing their agility and ROI

by Paul Bengtson, Vice President of Sales, U.S.

SC Data Center had their core business systems housed on an IBM mainframe. But this closed environment prevented them from quickly responding to market changes and customer demands. They needed to innovate and modernize, which meant they needed to move to the cloud. After looking at a number of modernization options, they came to the same conclusion that many companies around the world share: rehosting with OpenFrame was the best choice.

Said Steve Cretney, VP & CIO at SC Data Center, “TmaxSoft OpenFrame gave us a platform we could trust, a platform we can scale with, and a platform we knew was reliable and available to us 24/7.”

And Tyler Sievers, IT Director at SC Data Center said, “TmaxSoft OpenFrame has enabled the team to be more inventive and creative, and as a result, we’ve seen several projects kick-off which may have taken us six months to complete prior.”
