Micro Focus Enterprise Server™ is an application deployment environment for IBM mainframe applications that have traditionally run on IBM z/OS environments. It enables mainframe applications to integrate with technologies such as .NET, Java, and provides fit-for-purpose application flexibility across Linux, Windows and UNIX platforms, containerized or virtual, AWS or Azure. Enterprise Server delivers a fast return on investment to support your digital transformation agenda.
Micro Focus Enterprise Server extends the reach of your mainframe applications by providing an execution environment to deploy fit-for-purpose mainframe workload on Linux, Windows, Unix on virtual, Docker containers or hybrid clouds environments.
Supporting application deployment to key environments, including Linux (Intel, IBM, LinuxOne, IBM Power), Windows, UNIX, and the cloud, Enterprise Server enables mainframe applications to run with minimal change in your chosen environment. Move or replicate existing mainframe workload to new platforms for rapid expansion to new markets or geographies.
Dramatically reduce batch cycle execution times by taking advantage of modern, distributed and lower cost processors.
Deploying mainframe application workload to new platforms requires flexible and comprehensive security to guard against threats and to protect valuable applications and data. Enterprise Server delivers support for a RACF comparable security capability, to enable the reuse of existing mainframe security rules for authentication and application level authorization. In addition, you can utilize long user names and passwords as well as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to further enhance your security strategy.
IT organizations can innovate faster by reinvesting existing IT budget into new initiatives and rapidly deploying core business workload to new environments to meet new business requirements.
Deploying IBM mainframe application workload to Enterprise Server has enabled some organizations to slash ongoing IT operational costs by up to 90%. Additionally, planned mainframe upgrades can be deferred or cancelled by leveraging the flexible, lower-cost Enterprise Server solution.
