Getting the Most from System z: Redefining Mainframe Economics with the Specialty Engines

Date: November 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: One sure thing in the current market is that insurers--and all companies--are looking for ways to cut costs and to be more efficient.

For a company that already relies heavily on the System z in its infrastructure, some research into the specialty engines is definitely in order. Specialty engines are not guaranteed to reduce mainframe costs, but a host of vendor solutions in the marketplace exist to help companies determine what course is best for their bottom line.
