Shadow Unified Mainframe Integration Platform
Increasingly, large organizations, both public and private, need to extract the most value from their IT investments. DataDirect Shadow reduces the complexity of integrating mainframe infrastructures with distributed computing environments through its single unified platform for mainframe integration. Shadow simplifies and streamlines the re-use and re-deployment of mainframe data, business logic or screen logic through industry standard support for SOA/Web services, SQL data access, XML data change capture and Web enablement.
Shadow z/Services - Mainframe SOA/Web Services
Over the last several years, enterprise organizations have come to understand the distinct business value offered by Web services but have struggled with the technological challenges of implementing a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA). What once was a vision is now a reality as more and more organizations are implementing a true standards-based architecture based on re-usable services. Organizations need SOA solutions that reduce the complexity of integrating legacy business assets and allow Java or .NET developers to use existing tools and skills. Shadow z/Services provides a secure, reliable and scalable foundation for mainframe integration which enables bi-directional use of existing legacy screens, programs and mainframe data with SOAs. Shadow z/Services provides an adaptable computing architecture based upon the needs of the enterprise, enabling the mainframe to participate in SOA as a Web services consumer or Web services provider.
Shadow z/Direct - Mainframe SQL Data Access
Shadow z/Direct supports easy SQL access to mainframe resources from any ODBC, JDBC or J2CA (JCA) mainframe data or application environment without any intermediate hardware gateways. Shadow z/Direct provides a secure, reliable and scalable foundation for mainframe integration for tightly coupled, bi-directional re-use of legacy screens, programs and mainframe data with Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). DataDirect also supports publishing Web services from mainframe databases.
Shadow z/Events - Real-time Data Events
Events occur thousands of times per second in the scalable environments of mainframe processing. Event-Driven Architectures are designed to utilize real-time events to automate heterogeneous business processes or maintain data consistency between distributed databases and mainframe systems of record. Shadow z/Events provides a single interface for the real-time capture, transformation and publication of critical mainframe business events occurring within Adabas,CICS, DB2, IDMS, IMS and VSAM environments. Without touching application code, Shadow z/Events captures mainframe based business events in real-time and asynchronously routes the event to distributed databases or business processes via HTTP/HTTPS, WebSphere MQ or in the case of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), the events route utilizing the inbound messaging capability of Java Message Service (JMS).
As part of the DataDirect mainframe integration suite, ClientBuilder is a comprehensive integration solution for web-enabling 3270 and 5250 screen-based applications - a critical need for organizations migrating to service-oriented architectures.
