S108 - 1 Billion Smartphones a year and counting – How is your CICS connected?nick_garrod
GSE Nordic 2015 1 Billion Smartphones a year and counting – How is your CICS connected? According to IDC, in 2013 “the worldwide smartphone market reached yet another milestone, having shipped one billion units in a single year for the first time”. This was an increase of almost 40% over 2012. If much of your business runs on CICS, you have probably already exposed at least some your CICS applications to the mobile world. But are you exposing these services in the optimal way for your company? Come to this session to discover what the supported options are for mobile exploitation in CICS Transaction Server, CICS Transaction Gateway and z/OS Connect. This session will compare and contrast the options available, so you can understand what is right for you. It will also discuss how you can use IBM MobileFirst with CICS TS to optimize your mobile deployments. Make sure your phone is on silent – you won’t want to be disturbed in this session.

Move to Hadoop, Go Faster and Save Millions - Mainframe Legacy ModernizationDataWorks Summit
In spite of recent advances in computing, many core business processes are batch-oriented running on Mainframes. Annual Mainframe costs are counted in 6+ figure Dollars per year, potentially growing with capacity needs. In order to tackle the cost challenge, many organizations have considered or attempted multi-year mainframe migration/re-hosting strategies. Traditional approaches to Mainframe elimination call for large initial investments and carry significant risks – It is hard to match Mainframe performance and reliability. Using Hadoop, Sears/MetaScale developed an innovative alternative that enables batch processing migration to Hadoop, without the risks, time and costs of other methods. This solution has been adopted in multiple businesses with excellent results and associated cost savings, as Mainframes are physically eliminated or downsized: Millions of dollars in savings based on MIP reductions have been seen – A reduction of 200 MIPS can yield $1 million in annual savings. MetaScale eliminated over 900 MIPs and an entire Mainframe system for one fortune 500 client. This presentation illustrates reference architecture and approach successfully used by MetaScale to move mainframe processing to the Hadoop platform without altering user-facing business applications.

Mainframe Application Modernization for Enterprise DevelopersCA Technologies
The document discusses mainframe application modernization using CA Gen. It notes that many organizations depend on legacy enterprise applications built in COBOL. The challenges are modernizing these complex applications quickly enough. Renewal is presented as a lower-risk approach to modernization compared to rewriting or replacing applications. CA Gen is described as an agile development tool that can accelerate modernization by transforming existing COBOL applications into the CA Gen environment through an automated extraction, analysis, refactoring and transformation process.
The document discusses a mainframe modernization case study at NRB. It describes how the organization migrated to a service-oriented architecture with mainframe applications exposing services through an ESB. A key part of the transformation was refactoring legacy applications to use new shared services, such as for customer document generation using the Scriptura service. Over 180 service operations were developed and legacy application refactoring is ongoing. The ESB will soon start calling services and two new projects utilizing the new architecture have been initiated.
This document discusses how Infosys helped modernize various clients' mainframe systems through automation, application redesign, and streamlining of processes. Some key outcomes included issuing cards faster and flagging fraud instantly for a financial institution, optimizing performance and helping launch new products and services worth $160 million for a British financial company, and improving auto-adjudication rates to 85% and saving $2 million for a healthcare giant. Overall, the case studies demonstrated benefits such as reduced costs, improved productivity, faster transactions and launches of new offerings through Infosys' fourth wave modernization services.
DESY's new data taking and analysis infrastructure for PETRA IIIUlf Troppens
DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) implemented a new IT architecture for the data taking and data analysis of measured data of the PETRA III particle accelerator. The new system needs to handle more than 20 gigabyte per second at peak performance in order to enable scientists worldwide to gain faster insights into the atomic structure of novel semiconductors, catalysts, biological cells and other samples. The implemented solution transfers to other fields of data centric science where remote devices (e.g. sensors, cameras) generate huge amounts of data which needs to be analyzed in a central data center. The solution is based on IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Elastic Storage Server.
The system is the result of a 1-year collaboration between DESY and IBM. I am honored and proud to be member of the project team.

Why z/OS is a great platform for developing and hosting APIsTeodoro Cipresso
z/OS is a great platform for developing and hosting APIs for three main reasons:
1) Mainframe applications are integral to many businesses and their transactions and data can be exposed as RESTful APIs.
2) Modern z/OS is designed with hybrid cloud and mobile development in mind, allowing transactions to be driven from mobile/cloud apps without knowing the backend is a mainframe.
3) RESTful APIs and OpenAPI specifications make it easy to understand and consume APIs without access to source code, enabling easier discovery, composition and monetization of APIs.

Capgemini Connected Car Demo Using IBM Internet of Things Foundation on BluemixCapgemini
Does the buzz about IBM Internet of Things (IoT) and Bluemix makes you curious to see some real-world demos and implementations?
IBM and Capgemini are going to show you the future of vehicle technology, focusing on different ways in which vehicles can be connected using IoT and IBM Bluemix. We’ll demo an app named “Follow your Friend” that lets you connect with and exchange GPS positions with other vehicles.
We’ll also demo “Geofence” for location-based marketing: it knows about the drivers’ needs as they drive and informs retailers about potential customers, so they can push offers to their customer’s vehicle devices (or mobile devices) as they drive by.
