Mainframe Server
Direct support for z/OS, OS/390 and MVS hosted data
A critical element of the Arbutus solution is having the data processing
technology reside on the same platform as the data. Organizations
with z/OS, OS/390 and MVS can run the mainframe server.
The server communicates directly with the Arbutus Windows
clients to provide access to mainframe based data.
Having the Arbutus Server application running natively
in the mainframe environment enables the direct, real-time
access to all data sources like DB2, IMS, VSAM and sequential
(QSAM) flat files.
Key features:
- Communication directly to the server
via TCP/IP, allowing remote access
in distributed environments
- No intermediate or staging servers
are required, although they are supported
for workload balancing
- Small footprint, requiring less
than 5MB, exclusive of temporary
data files
- All connectivity can be totally
transparent to Windows users who
access mainframe data
- All processing is handled by the
server, for maximum performance
- Host system native keys are used
whenever available for query optimization
- Data transmission delays are minimized,
as only the columns and rows required
are downloaded
- Data transmission speeds are further
improved through the use of compression
- Data transmission over public lines
can be secured by encryption
- All native mainframe file types
are supported, including VSAM, QSAM,
PDS, GDG and Tape
- Direct access to IMS and DB2 is
supported, and this data can be combined
with disparate sources
- All native mainframe field
types are supported, including
Packed, Zoned, Binary and Float
