Agile Mainframe Legacy Devops: This Is Not An Oxymoron!

Updated: Jul 7, 2021



One company in particular- the American National Standards Institute – has been dedicated to setting standards for more than a century. In recent years, they have seen an increased need for speed as a result of the widespread adoption of Agile approaches such as Scrum for mainframe jobs in delaware.


Numerous apps are multi-tiered, and these usually involve back-end servers that act as gatekeepers between different levels or tiers within applications. These can all become slower when being accessed by another level if one side does not move quickly enough with what it needs from this other tier - especially because there's always at least some coordination required among them. The application cannot be more agile than its slow


The application can't really be any more agile than its slowest component at this point, so if it's waiting on something down there when you're up here doing everything else frontward and backward well, then they'll never get anywhere fast enough or efficiently enough with their other levels operating outside the parameters set by what should theoretically.


Due to SDM, having a virtualized and separated mainframe environment, or even multiple is merely business as usual with this containerized architecture. Isn't that a quantum leap in terms of efficiency and convenience in comparison to the more traditional "physical" architectures?


In addition to rehosting your production applications, the SDM solution offers a development and maintenance environment that will allow you to apply techniques like Agile/DevOps methodology. This is especially important for legacy apps with mainframe components- most of which are just as mission-critical as modern assets.
