IBM System z (formerly zSeries) delivers world-class mainframe technology to help today's businesses become more resilient, more available and more scalable than ever before. With top-notch capabilities like record-breaking transaction processing speeds and highly flexible partitioning technologies like those found in the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL), the mainframe continues to provide a solid foundation for business growth and success.
Today's generation of System z mainframes offers businesses great flexibility and convenience by leveraging multiple operating system environments - bringing together the best capabilities of z/OS, z/VM. z/VSE and Linux. In particular, z/OS and Linux within the mainframe provide tremendous opportunities to reduce network utilization and improve integration by bringing distributed workloads into the mainframe where much of the key business data often resides.
MSI is a Premier IBM Reseller of System z (formerly zSeries) and other mainframe technologies. We have the technical expertise to support your z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE or Linux-based infrastructure with comprehensive services designed to make your business, better.

- Operating System & Software Migration
Many organizations still have mission-critical applications residing on unsupported versions of OS/390, z/OS, DB2 and CICS. To avoid this significant exposure to your business, MSI can leverage their significant migration experience to ensure a seamless transition to the current versions of z/OS, DB2 and CICS, ensuring complete support of your mission critical environment. Plus, additional functionality may be available in newer versions that allow you to further leverage your mainframe investment.
- IT Optimization using System z and Linux
System z hardware provides a robust and reliable foundation which supports a powerful and flexible software layer. With the most flexible and robust logical partitioning and virtualization technology in the industry, your resources can be pooled and dynamically shared so that they can be better optimized for use when and where needed. MSI engineers are available to help you roadmap your business requirements and advise you how to leverage virtualization technologies using Linux, z/OS, z/VM and other virtualization-enabled operating systems.
- Business Continuity
Parallel Sysplex clustering allows multiple applications to process a common workload across System z servers and can further mitigate the risk involved and provide unique data sharing that allows non-disruptive database growth with automatic load re-balancing. Furthermore, recent additions of On Demand capabilities such as On/Off Capacity on Demand and Customer-Initiated Upgrades have provided customers the ability to respond to business needs quickly and efficiently. MSI consultants will work with your company to create a detailed plan to improve data availability and recoverability. We will then leverage our extensive experience in implementing these solutions for same-site, secondary-site, or hosting solutions alternatives that meet your individual business objectives.
- Security
Enterprise security can often run across disparate hardware platforms, operating systems and applications. Independent security systems are creating more complex security administration, different processes on each platform, multiple user IDs, sign-ons and passwords. Systems are interconnected but their security is not. MSI can help integrate your security efforts by leveraging your mainframe investment to manage authentication or enable multiple firewalls to protect the data within the partitions of your System z server from unauthorized access.
