End-to-end Managed Mainframe Hosting and Migration Services
For organizations that process high-volume transactions, nothing can compare to the power and security of mainframe computing. However, rising support costs and a shrinking talent pool can present a challenge. CherryRoad can solve this with our Mainframe as a Service offering.
Mainframes are still the right choice:
- Most mainframe platforms are still supported and have modern hardware available.
- The cost of application migration can far exceed the cost of keeping existing mainframe systems.
- The closed nature of mainframe systems can provide a level of security above other operating environments
