“The Shadow solution […] is designed to allow the integration of IBM’s zSeries mainframe into the larger world of distributed computing, whilst maintaining the required features of the z/OS. It is implemented as a z/OS task and transparently takes advantage of the strong features of the z/OS platform. It can take mainframe assets and expose them as Web services, or as elements of a SOA or EDA. It can also take mainframe data sources and create access through SQL, application programs and interfaces can be implemented as SPs.”
