New Product Features Further Reduce the Cost, Complexity
and Risk of Mainframe Migrations
Redwood Shores, CA - July 31, 2012
Oracle Tuxedo ART 12c helps customers reduce IT costs
significantly, compared to their current mainframes, by
rehosting larger-scale mainframe applications more rapidly
and running them more efficiently on traditional Linux/UNIX
servers, engineered systems and in enterprise clouds.
Oracle Tuxedo ART 12c provides numerous new features to
help migrate IBM CICS, IMS, and batch applications faster,
by automating configuration and deployment with new Oracle
Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench tools and supporting
new client UI options.
The latest release also makes the post-migration evolution
of these applications easier with new Java services
extensibility and enhanced standards-based integration
options.
Delivering the most scalable, ultra reliable and
high-performance mainframe rehosting platform, Oracle
Tuxedo Application Runtimes 12c can be used to run large
scale mainframe applications more efficiently on
horizontally scalable open systems and enterprise clouds
with simplified provisioning, virtualization, dynamic
scale-out, accounting/chargeback and integrated monitoring
and management - at a fraction of mainframe cost.
By rehosting on Oracle Tuxedo 12c, organizations can take
advantage of industry-leading performance and flexibility
to accelerate and simplify the migration and evolution of
enterprise-class, mission-critical applications. (See

Enterprise Application Rehosting Without Changing Business
Logic
Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtimes 12c provide mainframe
programming models, while leveraging the distributed
infrastructure and the high performance of Oracle Tuxedo
12c. Combined with the automated code and data migration
tools in Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench 12c,
this solution can simplify and accelerate mainframe
rehosting projects while reducing overall cost and risk.
With the new products customers can:
Dramatically reduce IT costs:
Reduces infrastructure and operations costs by more than 50
percent by rehosting IBM mainframe applications on an open,
dynamically scalable enterprise cloud environment.
Eliminates third-party licensing costs across large numbers
of desktops via new support for Web UI integration with
rehosted CICS applications to replace tn3270 emulators or
screen scrapers.
Simplify and accelerate mainframe application rehosting:
Further automates the migration and deployment lifecycle,
including automated generation of application and system
configuration files, to reduce the cost and risk of
migration, improve ease-of-use and enable customers to
achieve a faster return on investment.
Integrates existing Windows clients, using CICS Universal
Client with
Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS, to help
avoid any impact on clients and front-end applications,
while rehosting the back-end CICS services to Oracle
Tuxedo.
Improve performance, availability, scalability and
manageability of larger-scale CICS, IMS, and batch
applications:
Oracle Tuxedo optimizes inter-process communications on
Oracle Exalogic through an innovative in-memory model,
which doubles the throughput and lowers response time by a
third, irrespective of deployment topology. Oracle Exalogic
and Oracle Tuxedo are engineered to work together and offer
a powerful platform to run applications rehosted from
mainframes, with high performance, availability and
scalability at lower costs.
Offers enhanced CICS queuing via
Oracle Tuxedo Message Queue 12c, providing highly
scalable and available temporary storage and transient
data queues across multiple cluster nodes.
Automatically recovers IBM MQ,
Oracle Database and Oracle Tuxedo mainframe
connections, which further improves autonomous
self-recovery and application availability.
Delivers enhanced features for multi-node batch
deployments in
Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for Batch 12c,
which also provide improved integration between CICS and
batch, and enhanced batch file management through a file
catalog with Web UI.
Monitors and manages the full application stack with
Oracle TSAM 12c, which is now integrated with
Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, helping customers
easily deploy, monitor and manage rehosted CICS, IMS and
batch applications in traditional deployments and
enterprise clouds.
Run IBM CICS, IMS and batch applications in a cloud:
Provides a solid foundation for enterprise cloud
deployments of rehosted mainframe applications using
application runtimes for CICS, IMS and batch.
Simplifies application provisioning and virtualization
using Oracle Exalogic and Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder
to package rehosted applications into software appliances
and automate deployment through Oracle Enterprise Manager
12c.
Scales-out CICS and IMS regions and batch environments
dynamically, using the distributed resource broker in
Oracle TSAM 12c, based on load and utilization metrics for
online transactions and batch jobs.
Generates detailed accounting data and summary reports for
internal chargeback or to support multi-tenant
environments.
Easily extend and modernize rehosted applications:
Extends rehosted applications with integrated Java services
directly on Oracle Tuxedo 12c to leverage a single
environment and gain performance benefits.
