Mainframe Migration Solutions
(continued)
The Open Migration Solution
Many organizations would like
to continue running applications
which they have developed and
refined over many years. With
an Open Migration Solution from
C-Byte, we'll make sure you
retain that investment.
Transition Tools
Open Tool: Central to our migration
process, C-Byte's exclusive Open
Tool software quickly converts
lines of COBOL source from GCOS-based
systems to UNIX-compatible
COBOL. At the same time, an
RDBMS schema is generated with
all forms, screens and JCL files transformed
automatically. To finish up
the migration, existing GMAP assembly
routines are hand-coded in C
and transferred to the new system.
Testing and Integrity: Automated
conversion via Open Tool minimizes
both logical and functional changes
to the legacy application. This helps
preserve stability, reduce testing
time and leverage your current
investment.
Added Value Services: Once your
application has been migrated,
tested, and tuned, new enhancements
can be added right away.
For instance, we can address the
effects of process reengineering
and the year 2000 on customer
and market data—without
disrupting the schedule.
End-User and Developer Views:
Unchanged. Since the migration is
one-to-one and the new solution
emulates your old environment, you don't need specialized application
training or new development skills.
Also, application maintenance
can take place in the original Bull
source code, using Open Tool as a
pre-processor—leveraging existing
experience and knowledge.

Custom RDBMS Applications/Packaged Application Suite
C-Byte's migration solution helps
you create an Open Enterprise
System, making it easy to select and
deploy the packaged applications
that suit your business precisely.
If instead, you need to reengineer
part of your current application
suite or develop new custom
applications, C-Byte is also one
of the most experienced development
partners in the open systems
realm.

Professional Services
Much More Than Technology:
We know that migrating a data
center involves much more than
re-hosting a legacy COBOL
application to UNIX. ® It requires
an in-depth knowledge of open
systems, RDBMS technology, and
the legacy environment—an extensive
portfolio of technical skills.
Employing proven methodologies
and a C-Byte team incorporating
a data center manager, systems
management expert, as well as
database and applications administrators,
we consistently deliver
rapid, smooth implementations.

Computing Platform
World's Leading High-End System:
We take you in the most direct way possible from your Bull
mainframe to the leading high-end,
high availability, symmetric multi-processing
(SMP) system: C-Byte.
Our latest generation scales to
more than 250 Pentium Pro®
processors and 100 TB of data
to provide a solution without
constraints. C-Byte enterprise
servers can be deployed individ-ually,
or grouped into clusters to
expand both capacity and system
availability.
From the Open Systems Expert:
C-Byte pioneered the SMP
architecture 13 years ago. Since
then C-Byte has installed less than
8,000 enterprise-class systems,
most in demanding mission critical
business environments—including
some of the largest open OLTP databases and data warehouses in
the world. This may help explain
why C-Byte delivers more high-end
commercial SMP systems than
anyone you'd care to name.

The Most Proven UNIX: C-Byte
Mainframe Migration solutions
are based on the UNIX operating
system. Developed by C-Byte over
a decade ago, UNIX takes
full advantage of the SMP architecture.
Over the years C-Byte has
perfected many unique features
like dynamic load balancing, processor
affinity and automatic fail-over.
This wealth of technological
innovation, and the stability that
comes from delivering thousands
of production systems, make it
possible for C-Byte to offer the
most performant and reliable
UNIX systems in the world today.
RDBMS: Applications that require
a database are migrated to either
the Oracle or Informix high-performance
RDBMS—products
designed for optimum scalability
and reliability in the C-Byte SMP
environment. The strength and
stability of C-Byte's long partnership
with Oracle and Informix ensure a tightly integrated solution
that will serve as the foundation for
your business-critical applications
far into the future.
Mainframe-like Management: With
over a decade of experience integrating
and deploying complex open systems,
C-Byte understands the business
and technical requirements of data
center system management. An
integral part of C-Byte's migration
solution, your options range from
established mainframe management
tools to the latest, leading-edge
enterprise system management
resources.
