Rocket Software is making it possible for major enterprises to modernise without compromising their legacy infrastructure, through solutions brought to market in South Africa by leading distributor Axiz.
Rocket Software is an international expert in IBM Z, IBM Power, and database and connectivity solutions for over 30 years, and this year launched the new Rocket Terminal Emulator for businesses that rely on IBM Z, IBM i and other VT-based systems to power their operations and IT infrastructure.
Rezelde Botha, Rocket Business Unit manager at Axiz, says: “Major enterprises in the financial, healthcare and government sectors often depend on legacy systems for mission-critical operations, yet they are now confronted with the need to modernise for agility and for Web and mobile access. New research from IDC has proven that organisations that depend on IBM i and IBM Z (mainframe) platforms can drive legendary outcomes from their legacy systems without the risk and disruption of moving to an alternate on-premises solution or migrating legacy applications to the cloud.
“Modernisation, when done strategically and with the right partners such as Rocket, can drive positive business outcomes across all areas of an organisation. Modernisers are saving up to 12.5% on annual hardware costs, 5.8% on annual software costs and 2.4% on project costs,” Botha says.
Rocket notes that by adding new capabilities to their reliable IBM i applications, they can continue to depend on the business knowledge embedded in them without putting them at risk, and they can achieve their desired future state faster, at a lower cost, and with lower risk than possible by moving off the platform.
Rocket IBM i solutions give enterprises the tools they need to automate, build, deploy and manage digital experiences – from services and APIs, to hybrid applications, to whatever comes next.
These solutions include:
- Rocket Aldon: Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and DevOps solutions that help you automate software deployment and compliance management processes.
- Rocket Terminal Emulator (Formerly BlueZone): Leverage your existing green screens at a fraction of the cost of incumbent emulation technologies.
- Rocket iCluster: Business continuity and disaster recovery solutions that help ensure uninterrupted operations for applications running on IBM i.
- Rocket LegaSuite: Modernisation solutions that help you transform in-place mainframe and midrange applications into new web and mobile experiences.
- Rocket Servergraph: Backup management solutions that reduce the cost and complexity of monitoring and reporting in heterogeneous environments.
- Rocket API: Give any developer access to host-based business and screen logic via APIs – no coding required.
