Our partners
for mainframe and Open Systems

PARTNER
We have a long-standing partnership with Dell. Most of our collaboration is focused on data protection solutions for mainframe and open systems. Dell has a market share of almost 40 percent in the mainframe backup sector. Dell carries out more than 95 percent of its projects in this environment with us as a partner. We have been contributing our technical background to beta test programs for DLm, Data Domain and VMAX for many years.

PARTNER
Optica Technologies is one of the world’s leading companies for mainframe connectivity solutions and has over 40 years of experience. Optica Technologies became known through protocol converters (Serial Bus-Tag/ESCON, ESCON/FICON). On top of that, Optica Technologies offers virtual tape systems for mainframes. These solutions allow the use of any backend storage system and are therefore the ideal platform for companies that want to use already existing storage systems for virtual mainframe backup solutions. We carry out IT projects together with Optica Technologies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

PARTNER
We have established a partnership with Hitachi Vantara in the mainframe enterprise storage environment. With the mainframe storage systems of the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), clients achieve outstanding performance values at very low costs.

PARTNER
With Model9, new worlds in z/OS storage management open up for the mainframe, especially with regard to backups. In the past, backup/restore required many software products and complex, difficult-to-manage, cost-intensive processes. With Model9, a single solution is sufficient. It provides direct access to any object storage (S3) and enables significant cost reductions.

PARTNER
Modern system monitoring is time-consuming and requires many manual steps to set up. To address this challenge, Instana was created. The configuration-free installation on any available system platform allows users to monitor complex and widely branched system landscapes in real time. The mainframe component for Instana APM was developed by mainstorconcept; with our product z/IRIS we are solution partner of Instana.

PARTNER
IBM is THE provider for mainframe solutions. Every day, hundreds of millions of people deal with IBM systems and IBM solutions in some way. mainstorconcept has been a partner of IBM for many years; joint projects include the management of mainframe systems, storage solutions and mainframe software solutions.
