Eliminate environment bottlenecks to accelerate your z/OS delivery

“The PopUp Mainframe capability is another breakthrough technology that adds even greater value to the LinuxOne and IFL/KVM environments. As our clients continue to seek ways to maximise their IBM z investments, PopUp Mainframe stands out as a powerful tool—enabling them to accelerate mainframe innovation and drive measurable business value more efficiently than ever before”.

“Hosting critical time- and availability-sensitive business functionality on the mainframe remains a vital part of IT in the enterprise and much of the public sector. But change management on the mainframe can be slow and inefficient, especially as business complexity and regulatory pressures increase. Innovative technologies such as PopUp Mainframe offer mainframe teams opportunities to accelerate the delivery velocity of their business-critical systems.”

“The introduction of PopUp Mainframe’s tools on Linux on Z unlocks new possibilities for mainframe agility and workload testing. This strategic move enables organizations to harness Linux environments directly on the mainframe to allow for the deployment of modern DevOps processes while ensuring operational efficiency for mainframe teams.”

"PopUp Mainframe just seems so compelling - instant mainframe images, fully configured, for development"

"Such an important and extremely useful tool for the mainframer"

"PopUp Mainframe offers an innovative solution to mainframe organizations looking to accelerate their deliveries."

"PopUp Mainframe delivers code-and-component-complete virtual mainframe environments onto cloud or local hardware in minutes, so DevOps teams can safely observe changes and module installations, in order to predictably run functional, performance and reliability tests"

"As a leading provider of complete software solutions for test data and management, we are delighted to pass the PopUp Mainframe Certification program. Completing the training workshops further demonstrates our renowned technical capabilities, and ensures we can offer best-in-class services to our enterprise customers."

"To test software requires environments that can be easily spun up, isolated from the rest of the IT infrastructure. In a mainframe environment it can be difficult as they could be competing for resources … having the ability to spin up on-demand environments takes this away."

"The FastTrack facility – with its ability to move back and forth to different configurations at the click of a button – could be a game-changer in terms of efficiency. I wish I’d had this tool 30 years ago."

"Having a playground in which to do shadow operations and other CPU sapping DBA tasks can be extremely beneficial."

"The ability to sign into a mainframe z/OS training environment, fully loaded with the right apps, data, and subsystems - that can be restored with push of a button - would absolutely make the job of training mainframers so much more efficient, from both the instructor's and learner's perspectives!"

"Over my career, I could have used PopUp Mainframe many times to make my life easier on many projects. LPARs not being readily available…how difficult it is to set training environments up…."
