Mainframe hardware
IBM Z mainframe server systems are particularly suitable for institutions and businesses that need outstanding availability, scalability and security. IBM Z solutions are trusted by companies of all sizes, including two thirds of Fortune 100 companies and many next-generation start-ups.
SVA is an IBM Platinum Partner. Our mainframe architects plan and create the perfect system configuration for your individual needs, both for all current IBM Z hardware systems and potential upgrades. As a systems integrator, we can offer the full mainframe portfolio including IBM Z servers, the latest IBM storage systems and virtual tape solutions.
Scope of services
This all comes with comprehensive support from our experienced team of experts before, during and after hardware migration – including capacity planning and performance analysis using our own analysis tools, as well as migration and project planning and implementation services. We assess the options for using new hardware functions in your business, including on-chip compression (Integrated Accelerator for zEnterprise Data Compression) and on-chip sorting (Integrated Accelerator for Z Sort).
Our services
SVA’s portfolio goes far beyond hardware installation, however. We can provide support for your operation (z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, Linux on IBM Z, DB2, subsystems, etc.), take responsibility through managed services or provide advice on software and licensing issues. With an independent total cost of ownership analysis (TCO), you can assess the added value that your mainframe environment brings.
Alongside traditional application areas, we can help you plan and implement innovative technologies on the mainframe, including z/VM, KVM, Linux on IBM Z, Docker, Container Extension in z/OS and OpenShift with Red Hat on IBM Z to name just a few.
Security
The IBM Z platform offers full encryption for files, databases and data transfers. Known as pervasive encryption, this function has enabled the platform to become a market leader as the safe server. As your partner, we focus on conventional documentation of crypto cards and trusted key entry consoles (TKE). Our security consultants also create plans for optimized operations and reliable key management.
