Move up to Enterprise Developer for zEnterprise
Micro Focus Enterprise Developer for IBM® zEnterprise® is the core technology for zEnterprise application development. The time is right for Mainframe Express (MFEEE) customers to move up to this new development platform and enjoy the benefits of Enterprise Developer. Here's why.
Mainframe application delivery and deployment – a fresh approach
Mainframe environments have historically been the natural choice to run the mission-critical business applications that enterprises rely on. Over time developments in processor technology have meant that Linux®, UNIX® and Windows Servers® have become able to deliver mainframe equivalent performance at a fraction of the cost. They can therefore offer more options to respond to change required by the business, while delivering the appropriate Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS). This paper looks at the options available to mainframe application decision-makers who are looking to map their mainframe IT strategy to their next generation of business needs.
A step change in development efficiency
The development process for mainframe applications is no simple matter - it is far more than just cutting code and testing it. Improving technology is only half the story and failure to support key processes will severely impact developer adoption. This technical white paper explains how Micro Focus can help development teams improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the zEnterprise development processes by customizing the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and the specifics of mainframe configuration management integration.
