At BCL, we have years of experience in assisting businesses throughout multiple industries with their Z/os UNIX System Services. Our team provides support in customizing, implementing, and optimizing z/OS UNIX environments.
z/OS UNIX System Services or z/OS UNIX (formerly known as OpenEdition Services) are now very tightly integrated into the System z platform. z/OS UNIX System Services is considered an essential element in the open and distributed computing strategy undertaken by IBM. By leveraging the ability to use the z/OS operating system out-of-the-box as a UNIX platform, the best of both worlds is gained.
With UNIX’s famed open system flexibility and z/OS’s world-renowned security, scalability, and recoverability, the System z platform is now ready to receive any UNIX-based open systems application or solution. One of the most strategic of these applications is the enterprise-class Domino/Lotus Notes messaging and legacy data integration capability.
We help clients customize, install, and optimize their z/OS UNIX environments with services that include:
BCL helps you use z/OS UNIX programs to simplify your infrastructure and improve operational efficiency.
Most businesses rely on a mix of UNIX programs and mainframe environments. z/OS UNIX lets you unify these systems and reduce maintenance overhead. It allows legacy applications to integrate with modern tools without re-engineering or moving data to separate UNIX servers. This gives you:
