SVA zHosting: Your optimal development environment

SVA is the only IBM Business Partner in the world to share a development environment. Known as zHosting, the solution is 100% IBM certified.
For over 15 years, SVA has enabled clients to operate their mainframe development environments as a managed service on a shared system in our data center. Thanks to our many years of experience supporting over 50 international clients in SVA zHosting, we have an in-depth knowledge of both the market and what clients need from their development environment.

Consulting and service according to your needs

SVA zHosting runs in a modern data center fitted with the latest operating and security components. These include access controls for authorized persons, excellent air conditioning, uninterruptible power supply, and a redundant, high-performance network connection.

The state-of-the-art Z systems in our data center are available around the clock. All systems, from the mainframe itself and the disk systems to the virtual tape library, are designed with redundancy to ensure that your environment continues to work smoothly even in the event of a fault. Of course, all systems are serviced by the manufacturer so that they are back up and running quickly.

Flexible pricing

The usage fee for SVA zHosting is flexibly calculated according to your requirements. These costs are well below the price of operating your own infrastructure, regardless of whether you purchase new or used Z system engines. Beyond this, we can also take responsibility for operating your environment as you see fit.

To benefit from both SVA zHosting and the associated free use of IBM software, you first need to register and obtain approval from IBM in the zDD program. As a long-term partner of IBM, we would be happy to support you in joining this program. Find out more about the zDD program or get in touch with us.
