Adabas & Natural for zIIP™

Redistribute workload to add computing power

mainframe offload of processing.

Free up the mainframe CPU by redistributing the workload to zIIP

Want to reclaim capacity without changing code or disrupting your business? Love your mainframe and want to use it to power new applications? Create space for growth by redirecting your Adabas & Natural workload to the IBM® z System® Integrated Information Processor (zIIP). 

Cut CPU workload in half

Redistribute up to 50% of GPP CPU and maximize execution time on zIIP.

Optimize zIIP throughput

Our technology optimizes throughput by minimizing the number of path switches.

Run at full processor speed

Accelerate batch runs by leveraging higher throughput and additional computing power.

Avoid coding changes

You’ll stay production-ready because no code changes are required.

Choose batch or OLTP

Run both batch processing and OLTP on zIIP with Adabas & Natural to optimize capacity and performance.

See, decide, and act using reports

Forecast how much load to redirect to zIIP. Monitor zIIP use and other parameters to set and track KPIs.
