New approaches like DevOps or the adoption of a Digital Transformation strategy are meant to make life easier and simpler to creating quality applications faster with better quality and at lower costs, but do they? Maybe. They’ll help put structure in place for team collaboration or deliver an experience your customers won’t forget, but development teams still face the constraints of development through deployment. From development, testing and the management of releases, organizations and their customers have had to deal with ineffective service delivery, compounded by the silos of development, system administration, and operations. CA solutions for DevOps and Continuous Delivery can help you eliminate constraints across the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC), allow developers, testers and performance teams to work in parallel for faster delivery and more reliable outcomes, all the way through deployment and feedback from IT Operations. Get the information you need when you need it in these thought provoking sessions live or on-demand. Be a member of channel to receive updates, best practices and advice from industry thought leaders on how to eliminate constraints across your SDLC.

Service Virtualization removes constraints by simulating mainframe systems that are constrained, unavailable or being modified. SV can either virtualize the mainframe as accessed by distributed systems via HTTP(S), IBM Websphere MQ, IMS Connect Gateway or CICS Transaction Gateway. This allows the customer uninterrupted, stable development and testing of the distributed application and reduced mainframe costs. SV can also virtualize within the mainframe allowing for performance testing or parallel development of distributed applications and mainframe services.

Agenda:

·       Virtualize the Mainframe (External)

·       Virtualizing Within the Mainframe

·       Mainframe Virtualization Architecture

·       Questions

Using Service Virtualization with the Mainframe
