Mainframe Database and Application Support
Efficient, High-Performance Access to Legacy Assets
For enterprise organizations that value efficient, high-performance access to mainframe data and application logic, the Progress DataDirect ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET database drivers simplify the development and deployment associated with connectivity to disparate data sources and applications.

DataDirect Shadow enables standards-based access to mainframe programs and data stored in relational and non-relational formats. Shadow transforms mainframe data assets into virtual RDBMS tables and at the same time converts business logic assets into virtual RDBMS stored procedures.
No matter how data on the mainframe is structured — flat files such as VSAM, hierarchical such as IMS and ADABAS, or relational such as DB2 — Shadow makes them look to the application developer just like another familiar relational database such as SQL Server or Oracle. And just as developers use mainframe data as if it resides on a distributed RDBMS, with Shadow they use reliable, proven mainframe-based business rules as if they were local stored procedures.
