PopUp Mainframe works on adjacent platforms including Linux on Z, or Linux One, or an on prem x86 or cloud server, or any combination. And we’re thrilled to add another option to the menu: PopUp Up Mainframe X Editon is now available on AWS.
A Complex Challenge, Simply Solved
At PopUp Mainframe our core value is simply explained: anything you can do on the mainframe you can use a PopUp Mainframe for, which means you can flex and scale using PopUp Mainframe to avoid any bottleneck or restriction you face on the mainframe.
Such restrictions are more commonplace than many leaders realize and may impact a variety of critical mainframe team functions, including application development, QA, training, systems programming and DBAs. Our solution offers an instantly available mainframe environment to accelerate urgent activities under z/OS.
z/OS, wherever you are
Functionally equivalent to z/OS, PopUp Mainframe runs under Linux on Z, LinuxONE, or Cloud / On-prem x86servers. And, based on customer interest, we are delighted to share that our cloud instance PopUp Mainframe offering is now also available on AWS. PopUp Mainframe X Edition for z/OS 2.5 is now available to download from the AWS marketplace. (And 3.1 will be there shortly, too).
And that’s the same PopUp promise – the same full z/OS compatibility, the same out-of-the-box utilities to support a simple and instant setup of your configuration of choice, the same utilities that automate and accelerate all aspects of mainframe delivery, all now available on AWS.

The PopUp virtual machine is pre‑built, configured, and performance‑tested to run optimally on modern cloud infrastructure.
