Chicago, IL – June 15, 2009 – Clerity Solutions, Inc., a full-service provider of mainframe migration and modernization solutions, announced today that its UniKix mainframe rehosting software suite will support the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 running on HP standards-based servers and other platforms. UniKix rehosting software has emerged as the industry’s leading mainframe rehosting platform and is deployed at over 1300 sites worldwide, including the largest mainframe rehosting implementation in North America at NYSE Euronext.
Clerity's mainframe rehosting software provides a mission-critical environment for deploying online and batch mainframe CICS, IMS, IDMS, Adabas, Natural, and other legacy assets on open, standards-based systems. By leveraging existing applications, skill sets, and data investments, Clerity technology reduces ongoing IT costs from 30 to 70 percent and optimizes legacy investments without sacrificing current functionality or introducing risk into the migration process.
“Organizations with mission-critical legacy systems are moving to the Windows Server platform to more competitively address today’s IT requirements and reduce costs,” said Bob Ellsworth, director of enterprise platform modernization at Microsoft.
“Clerity’s comprehensive migration approach and powerful mainframe rehosting software suite provides a cost-effective alternative for our enterprise mainframe customers.”
Mainframe migration with rehosting software from Clerity and Windows Server 2008 will deliver several key customer benefits:
- Reduced migration risk and rapid payback periods by protecting existing investments in CICS, COBOL, JCL and related environments wherever possible
- Lower total cost of ownership and competitive economies of scale for ongoing operations
- Enhanced IT flexibility and enterprise-wide data interoperability
- Broad access to a large pool of skilled systems administrators
- Choice of deployment on a range of Intel x86, x64, and Itanium-based systems.
“Customers are asking for Windows Server 2008 due to its enterprise capabilities and its great price performance. Supporting Windows Server 2008 is a natural evolution of Clerity’s strategy to deliver a wide range of mainframe migration and modernization solutions,” said Cameron Jenkins, chief operating officer at Clerity. “We are excited to extend our rehosting offerings to the powerful Windows Server platform and we know Microsoft and Clerity can save customers money over the alternatives.”
“Customers need a flexible infrastructure that supports modernization initiatives such as SOA integration and business process management improvement,” said John Pickett, worldwide mainframe alternative program manager, HP. “The combination of HP, Microsoft and Clerity products provide customers with a standards-based server platform that dramatically reduces ongoing operational costs while delivering performance and agility to enable business growth.”
