Swisscom Moves Entire Mainframe Workload to LzLabs Software Defined Mainframe in the Cloud
Summary
“We turned to LzLabs for two reasons – reducing the high cost of our legacy mainframe, but also a need for greater flexibility in our IT infrastructure that we could not achieve on the mainframe” said Markus Tschumper, Head of General IT Services at Swisscom. SDM is a specialized container technology that provides capabilities for mainframe applications to execute on open systems, with no requirement for recompilation or conversion of data types. SDM provides a runtime environment that supports the necessary functionally-equivalent subsystem APIs to enable transparent execution of the binary representations of these programs and data. Running in open environments, these applications are more easily integrated with mobile, IoT, cloud and DevOps strategies, and no longer require management by a diminishing mainframe workforce. Swisscom’s successful migration away from its legacy systems is yet another example of the growing demand for flexibility, agility, and cost savings from organizations shackled by their existing mainframe environments.
