Chicago, IL – June 27, 2011 – Clerity Solutions, a full-service provider of mainframe migration, modernization, and optimization solutions, today announced that it has received the HP AllianceONE Partner of the Year Award in the Converged Infrastructure Solutions Financial Services category. Clerity was recognized for developing and delivering innovative mainframe migration software and services. Clerity's UniKix Mainframe Rehosting software reduces annual operating costs up to 70 percent and enhances IT agility.
Financial services firms have traditionally comprised over half of the mainframe installed base worldwide. Companies in markets such as retail banking, insurance, and equities are increasingly turning to mainframe migration in order to lower cost-per-transaction rates and enact flexible, modern infrastructures for consolidation and private cloud computing initiatives.
Deployed in more than 50 countries, UniKix provides a robust environment for deploying mission-critical mainframe applications such as IBM® CICS® transactions, IBM IMS™ programs, Natural Adabas, and other legacy assets natively on HP Converged Infrastructure. Large enterprises such as BNP Paribas, The Clearing Corporation, and NYSE Euronext depend on UniKix to power business-critical online and batch applications originally written in a variety of languages, including COBOL, Natural, Assembler and PL/1.
"Our long-term relationship with HP allows us to provide enterprises with a modern, flexible infrastructure with better economies of scale than the mainframe," noted Cameron Jenkins, COO, Clerity. "This award highlights our efforts with HP in resolving customers' business challenges."
The mainframe migration and modernization solutions help enterprises move large workloads to scalable open systems. For many financial services companies, this type of IT improvement helps them innovate their market portfolios, go-to-market faster with new products, and reach new customers. At the same time, Clerity solutions combined with HP Converged Infrastructure help customers significantly lower operational costs and create long-term economies of scale.
"To manage the changing demands of their customers, organizations have to accelerate time to market and time to business value," said Duncan Campbell, vice president, Converged Infrastructure, HP. "HP, with partners like Clerity, helps break down rigid IT silos with infrastructure specifically engineered to drive out cost and provide the foundation for agile service delivery."
