Easy is just not a word that comes to mind for
most companies trying to Internet-enable their mainframes. And with
over 70% of the world's data still safe and secure on IBM
mainframes, discovering how to make that data available through the
Internet is on everyone's agenda. The problem is that despite their
marketing messages, most software vendors require enormous
investments in time, effort and money, so the reality ends up being
far from Easy.
Why
is our software different than all the rest? Simple. Our solutions
to Internet-enable the mainframe were designed and developed by
mainframe engineers, from a mainframe point of view. We developed
what made sense, not what the most recent class or buzz word in the
industry dictated. Our support technicians are legendary for their
quick responses and changes for customers. After all, it's how
you
need to use the software that counts.
illustro's z/Ware Products:
- Run
natively on the mainframe meaning no additional platforms
required
- Don't use any valuable CICS
resources or unreliable, complicated facilities such as CICS Web
Support
- Transform mainframe data without
any changes to existing applications
- Outputs native HTML or XML
avoiding the use of slower Java or ActiveX which open up
security holes on remote clients
- Creates true, web-based
interfaces that non-mainframe people can use without training
- Are compatible with any
Web-design tool allowing web designers to layout interfaces
- Licensed by concurrent-session,
eliminating seat-based or CPU size pricing
- Download, install and deploy in
the same day
 Our newest addition to the z/Ware family is
z/IPMon, the best, full function monitoring tool for your critical TCP/IP systems. As the first company to pioneer and release AJAX capabilities for mainframes, illustro has developed z/IPMon from the ground up with a 100% Web-based AJAX interface, bringing a rich, Windows application user experience that anyone can use. z/IPMon delivers all the functions you need to have a comprehensive look at what’s happening in your critical TCP/IP systems, both on-demand or historically with z/IPMon’s exclusive Retrospect™ feature.
Now you can really See What You've Been Missing™.
illustro's z/Ware™ family of products have earned the reputation
of being Easy. Our
z/Web-Host™
product  transformed any 3270 application directly into a fully
functional, web-based interface that anyone can use. All without
touching the original application. And with
z/XML-Host™, mainframe data could be
automatically converted into XML documents and accessed via Web
Services using SOAP, meaning all that data and business-critical
logic can be shared with any platform or application. This includes
languages like Java and .Net, or Web-Services enabled platforms
including IBM's Websphere and Microsoft Office. Imagine using an
Excel spreadsheet to view and update information directly from a
mainframe data file!
Now, with the newly released z/Ware 2.0, combines everything that our customers have come to expect from z/Web-Host and z/XML-Host into one, and
expands the features to new heights! This new product features
a robust script-processing facility to automate interaction between applications and platforms across the
enterprise, and a new document-facility for creating templates to exchange with XML/Web Services-
enabled applications like Java or Microsoft’s .Net platform. z/Ware can integrate your data from MS-SQL, Oracle or other databases and even between your .NET and JAVA applications! Believe it or not, your mainframe can even send tweets to Twitter!
What's more, both
z/Ware 2.0
run directly on either z/OS-OS/390 or z/VSE and VSE/ESA, so there's
no need to add cost and complexity to the process by using a
different, less reliable platform just to Internet-enable your
mainframe.
With
z/Web-Server for VM™, we deliver a robust
and secure Web Server for the z/VM and VM/ESA environments.
z/Web-Server for VM offers a fast and reliable method of accessing
your critical VM-based data, leveraging the proven power of the
mainframe.
And now that your valuable mainframe data can
easily be made available on the 'Net, security is an important
issue. That's where our
iCYA™ product comes
in. The
iCYA delivers full, Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) protection so your data is encrypted until it reaches a
trusted source.
Compare illustro's z/Ware family of products and you'll easily see
the difference.
2008 introduces an important and cutting-edge new product to the
mainframe world - illustro's
iKnow™ Systems Access Audit Appliance using Intellinx™ technology. The iKnow™ appliance is a non-invasive solution that sits directly on your network and captures every mainframe, AS/400 or Web screen passing through your system. Beyond the important functions of monitoring for irregular access, the iKnow™ appliance can be used to replay a user’s session to see the actual error they are experiencing. Application development staff can capture and replay users’ interactions to assess usability issues—-you can even measure and be alerted to response time issues. In the growing importance of establishing proper information security and audit tracking, it's better to KNOW with the iKnow™.
All this sounds too good to be true---but it
is-- true! Don't take our word for it, experience a
Live Demo
right now, or have your systems guy
download the software and
install it over his lunch hour!
