Server Enterprise Edition

Application migration

Server Enterprise Edition™ provides the deployment environment for applications that have been migrated off mainframes and onto lower-cost platforms. It ensures that existing mainframe applications can be re-hosted with little or no change to underlying code.

With Micro Focus Server Enterprise Edition organizations can dramatically reduce the cost of maintaining enterprise applications. It also increases development agility, reducing time to market and increasing competitiveness with reduced risk.

Increase development agility with zero risk

Migrating mainframe applications to Windows, Unix or Linux provides a more productive development environment for key applications than is possible on the mainframe. Server Enterprise Edition enables organizations to increase development agility – speeding up time to market for new features and products, increase user satisfaction and increase competitiveness.

Reduce application operating costs

Organizations can, and have, cut application operating costs by up to 90% through migrating them off mainframe environments and onto Windows, Linux and Unix. By enabling this kind of application overhaul, Micro Focus Server Enterprise Edition helps drive down the IT debt burden that has built up within many enterprises over the past decade.

Improve application performance

Organizations can dramatically reduce the time required for batch processes to complete, as well as improving response time for online users.

Integrated job execution and transaction environment

Provides an easier and lower-risk capability to support migration of mainframe COBOL and PL/I[1] applications.

Complete COBOL and PL/I deployment environment

Delivers equivalent and better quality of service levels for a lower cost and can reduce application operational costs by as much as 90%.

Comprehensive data access capabilities

Lowers the risk of migration projects as more data can be migrated without change.

Mission critical deployment environment

The high performance and highly scalable deployment environment, means that the migrated application can meet and exceed the Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) expectations of the business.

[1] PL/I support for application migration is available in Studio/Server Enterprise Edition. Predecessor products have been withdrawn.

Studio Enterprise Edition, together these products provide Micro Focus’s Mainframe Migration capability

ReUze Server has similar capabilities targeted at smaller migrations, specifically to the Windows platform.
