ETI Provides High Speed Data Integration for Mainframes
Since 1991, ETI has helped government agencies and Global 1000 companies solve their most challenging data integration problems and many of these involve leveraging the mainframe.  Building on this heritage, ETI has developed a complete range of high performance data integration products to address synchronization, migration, data quality and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) needs for the mainframe.  

ETI’s family of products allows data to be moved bi-directionally within z/OS, as well as between z/OS and data systems residing on other platforms (MVS, UNIX, Windows, iSeries/AS400, Linux, DEC VMS, VSE) to address a multitude of data integration needs:

• Migrating data from one application to another
• Integrating new applications to legacy applications
• Building a data services layer to support SOA
• Synchronizing master data across databases and platforms

ETI reduces the burdens of mainframe migration and on-going integration while providing high performance data movement among mainframe applications and between mainframe and client/server applications.  The high performance quality stems from tight integration with native database utilities and years of experience in building and supporting high performance integration products. 

Maximize the Potential of Your Legacy Data with ETI’s Native Access for Transformation and Connectivity

Yesterday’s mainframe is now an open and robust server with powerful and efficient specialty engines and virtualization capabilities.  And, of course, decades-old mainframe strengths are still applicable: reliability, availability, serviceability, security and competitive total cost of ownership.  In fact, “There are two new computing trends that make mainframes attractive: “service oriented architecture,” or SOA (a new way of building applications), and “software as a service,” or SaaS (a new way of accessing applications).  Both trends require stability, which the mainframe has in spades -- ” The Dinosaurs That Won’t Die", by Ben Worthen, The Wall Street Journal online, July 24, 2007.

A recent CIO Insight article quotes a Saugatuck Research study that says mainframes can improve “workload management, performance, availability, and security, coupled with reduced costs for electrical power, cooling, floor space and support staffs.” 

So, if you have a mainframe in production but are running out of space and energy (electrical and human) because of your distributed systems and “server farms,” contact ETI for help with strategic planning around sustaining and/or migrating back to the mainframe:

• expose valuable legacy business logic as mainframe Web services for enterprise-wide legacy application integration
• use mainframe-centered SOA to help unleash millions of lines of legacy code for reuse by other applications
• reduce hardware and software licensing fees while increasing processing capacity
• reduce the skyrocketing cost of power and cooling

You need your legacy data – for context, for history, for vision. The efficient and strategic use of data is a critical competitive advantage.  Why spend millions on buying and implementing a new system if you can repurpose your existing applications and data to deliver what you need?
