Frequently Asked Questions - Mainframe z/OS

It is a large-scale, highly reliable computer with extremely high processing capacity, designed to handle massive volumes of critical transactions. IBM markets it under the Z platform (z16/z17 hardware). Large companies—especially banks—use it as the core of their global financial systems due to its uninterrupted availability, regulatory compliance (DORA, ECB, BCRA), and the use of Telum (z16, NNPA instruction) and Telum II (z17) processors with on-chip AI acceleration for deep learning inferences in nanoseconds.

Yes, G&L Group is an IBM Gold Partner and has the formal channels and required licensing to deploy key technology tools, ranging from software and hardware development to support and training.

It offers recovery of orphaned source code through reverse engineering and AI (watsonx), optimization and migration to COBOL v6.x to reduce MIPS/MSUs on z16/z17, modernization of API connectivity with z/OS Connect EE (with offload to zIIP), and live maps of transactional dependencies with IBM ADDI. It also supports IBM Assembler, COBOL, REXX, PL/1, and Adabas/Natural.

It has a technical team specializing in the language closest to the hardware. It offers abend diagnostics using IPCS, updates to critical exits (CICS, SMF, RACF, VTAM), development of custom components with hardware encryption (CPACF), and tuning for z16/z17 systems with measurable CPU reduction in SMF Type 30.

It covers TCP/IP and VTAM administration, OMPROUTE (OSPF) routing, DVIPA/DDVIPA high-availability schemes in Sysplex, encryption using OpenSSH, FTPS/TLS, and IPSEC, and support for connectors such as Connect:Direct, NetView, XCOM, and Supersession.

This is a theoretical and hands-on training course conducted in our own labs using IBM zPDT technology. It allows students to practice in a real z/OS environment (System Programmer, RACF, Networking, Databases, COBOL, Assembler) without requiring access to the client’s production hardware.

Yes, as a central part of its value proposition, it offers 24/7 rotating on-call support, automated proactive monitoring, technical incident/problem management, and active participation in Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) for DB2/IMS, CICS, Storage, SAF Security, and Networks.
