Mainframe Software

Mainframe software development, both system and applied, as well as legacy systems migration is a priority area for IBA. Our expertise comes from the unique background and experience of our developers in IBM mainframes and other computer platforms. Whether you are building mainframe applications from the ground up or migrating your current mainframe systems to a new environment, we can help.

Our key specializations in mainframe operating systems are OS/390, z/OS, and VM.

OS/390 and z/OS

OS/390 and z/OS operating systems are basic server platforms for IBM S/390 and IBM zSeries, respectively. Using a set of OS/390 or z/OS components and environment products (databases, programming systems, and other), it is possible to create a basic operating system that addresses all your business issues. For clients who need to migrate their software to a powerful platform such as IBM S/390 or IBM zSeries, we offer system integration solutions. We can integrate new and legacy software, adjust them to client’s business conditions, tune performance parameters, protect information, train your personnel, and provide subsequent maintenance.

We are able to perform the entire suite or any combination of the following services:

  • Analysis of clients’ operating environment and information needs
  • Selection of OS/390 or z/OS components and environment products to address the client’s business needs
  • Supply and licensing of OS/390, z/OS, and environment products
  • Planning, installation, and generation of OS/390, z/OS and environment products
  • Balancing, tuning, and optimizing of OS/390 and z/OS functioning in a real-life environment
  • Maintenance, support, and version update for OS/390, z/OS, and environment products
  • Support for Cyrillic and national languages
  • Advising on how to port applications and data to OS/390 and z/OS
  • Migration from TKS, BÎS, ÎS RV, ÎS MVT, OS/VS1, and other operating systems to OS/390 and z/OS
  • Tuning of network software to the customer network configuration and display of network performance
  • Development of methodology and provision of information security using OS/390 and z/OS security server tools
  • Training of customer personnel in OS/390, z/OS, and environment products.
VM

We offer the following VM services and solutions:
  • VM supply and installation
  • Supply and installation of software packages for different VM versions
  • Selection, supply, installation, and localization of VM software products
  • Use of VM to migrate customer software to new computer platforms
  • Training of customer personnel in VM.
IBA has accumulated extensive experience in solving problems related to migration of legacy systems to new environments when VM is used as a buffer between legacy and new environments. We have related experience with IBM 9x21, 9672, zSeries, as well as S/390 PC servers.

In addition, we have expertise in the recovery of load and object modules to the source code level for Assembler and high-level languages in VM and OS/390. For this purpose, we use several disassemblers and proprietary tools.
