Weekly UpdatesClerity Solutions, Inc., Chicago, has signed a software master agreement under which Clerity's market-leading UniKix mainframe rehosting software will be sold by HP.
Clerity's UniKix technology provides a mission-critical environment for deploying online and batch mainframe applications such as CICS, IMS, IDMS, Adabas, Natural, and other legacy assets on open systems.
Under the terms of the agreement, the UniKix mainframe rehosting software suite will also be available through HP's network of distributors and resellers.
"In today's economic climate, the demand for sound mainframe migration and modernization alternatives continues to grow," said Cameron Jenkins, chief operating officer of Clerity. "This expansion of the relationship between Clerity and HP will help us fulfill demand for UniKix across HP's leading server platforms."
Clerity is an HP Developer & Solution Partner and regularly teams with HP to deliver infrastructure and mainframe migration services.
"Customers are moving to standards-based server platforms to cut costs, improve energy efficiency, and increase the flexibility of their technology infrastructures," said John Pickett, worldwide mainframe alternative program manager, HP. "Clerity's rehosting software enables customers to quickly and easily migrate their applications from a mainframe environment to HP Integrity servers, lowering the overall cost of their technology infrastructure and improving response times to drive business growth."
For nearly 20 years, UniKix technology has enabled organizations to reduce annual operating costs by as much as 80 percent. More than 1300 UniKix installations have been deployed worldwide at commercial institutions and government agencies.
Key areas of the UniKix mainframe rehosting software suite include:
* UniKix Transaction Processing Environment (TPE) software - a robust and native transaction processing system for online CICS, IMS TM, IDMS DC, Natural and related resources such as VSAM data file types. * UniKix Batch Processing Environment (BPE) software - a complete environment for administering, executing, and managing z/OS and z/VSE batch JCL workloads on open systems without excessive code change or complex integration.
* UniKix Manager software - a real-time performance monitor for UniKix TPE environments that provides information for determining system status, processing rates, potential bottlenecks, and configuration enhancements that can aid in ensuring performance levels and critical user response times.
* UniKix Secure software - a comprehensive role-based access control external security manager for UniKix TPE that enables authentication and resource-level security on open systems, similar to RACF for CICS.
Under Clerity's agreement with HP, UniKix 11.0 will be available through HP and its reseller channel immediately. The latest release of Clerity's rehosting software offers greater choice in deployment platforms, advanced security options, and numerous innovations that make migrating online and batch application environments to cost-effective open systems servers even easier, thus shortening payback periods and increasing return on investment.
