Arbutus Query utilizes Arbutus Analyzer to provide direct, read-only queries into all of your data.
- Direct - Fastest possible performance, so you see the data with zero latency, eliminating the need for operational data store or data mart technologies.
- Read-only - Your data is secure. While your Windows applications have access to your mainframe data set, they have no ability to write back.
- Windows-based - Straightforward to install and administer. The Windows interface ensures an ease of use that is uncommon for mainframe and AS/400 query utilities.

Analyzer communicates directly with the Arbutus Server via TCP/IP. There are no additional hardware or software components required for connectivity. This direct connection to Arbutus Servers offers a number of benefits:
- The low component count means low infrastructure, which translates directly into low costs, both to install and maintain
- Since no additional software interfaces are required, you are up and running quickly, with your existing equipment
- When used with our Mainframe Server or AS/400 Server you have maximum access to your legacy data, including DB2, IMS, VSAM and sequential (QSAM) flat files. You don’t need any additional technologies to transform the data for access - you can analyze mainframe data as easily as you would a spreadsheet
