Free up capacity to do more on IBM Z\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your COBOL applications\u2014backed by the legendary resilience, security, and scalability of IBM Z\u2014are among your enterprise\u2019s most valuable assets. They run mission-critical operations with business logic that is unique to your organization. But when your success demands these applications process ever-increasing workloads, capacity on the general processor (GP) may become a scarce resource, limiting your ability to innovate and add new workloads.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, you can easily free up the capacity you need to move your business forward by redistributing application workload to the IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP\u2122) with JOPAZ. By compiling COBOL source code into Java bytecode, JOPAZ can shift high-utilization workloads to zIIP specialty engines. This quickly frees up valuable GP capacity, increasing efficiency,\u202fimproving performance,\u202fand creating space for strategic projects\u2014all without changing a line of code. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
