Mainframes
Volante’s Platform-independent,
Model-based Solutions Offer IBM System z Users a Scalable Platform for
Financial Messaging Solutions
NEW YORK, NY March 6,
2007 – Volante
Technologies, Inc. (www.volantetech.com)
the leading provider of platform-independent data management and messaging
solutions for the financial services industry, today announced the availability
of high-performance, platform-independent integration solutions for IBM System
z, running zOS and WebSphere.
Volante’s product suite provides a scalable platform on which mainframe users
can run financial messaging solutions and a modeling environment for users to rapidly
build solutions without having to hand code them. Financial services customers
no longer have to re-write their existing applications in order to integrate
with other systems, making it faster and less costly to assemble an integration
solution for their legacy environment.
Volante and IBM conducted a
joint study at the
“One of the key requirements for application integration
is the ability to provide real time connectivity to the platforms on which
applications run,” said Ray Jones, vice president of System z software at IBM. “Volante
has demonstrated the ability to deploy their implementations on IBM platforms
with very high throughputs and promoted the reusability of existing
environments and interoperability between systems. This means more flexibility,
shorter project cycles and no compromise on performance for mainframe customers
in the financial services industry.”
“The performance and reliability characteristics of IBM
System z are ideally suited to run the demanding applications typically seen in
the financial services industry,” said Vijay Oddiraju, Founder & CEO, Volante Technologies.
“Volante and IBM have demonstrated that there is no need for financial
services companies to re-architect their IT infrastructure when dealing with
the technology incompatibilities between legacy systems running COBOL
applications and newer applications running on open systems. We have proved
that assembling an integration solution for a mainframe customer does not have
to be costly or time consuming.”
About IBM System z
Last
year, IBM announced Systems z for ISVs, a new worldwide initiative that
provides software vendors with technical, sales and marketing resources to
build applications that run on IBM middleware, including WebSphere
Application Server and DB2, and System z. Through the initiative, ISVs gain
access to no-cost consulting sessions with IBM IT architects. IBM then creates
a customized online environment where vendors can develop, port and test
applications on System z, with IBM consultants supporting the ISVs throughout
