Introduction to the Microsoft Enterprise Platform for Mainframe Professionals
Another Mainframe Migration milestone!
Last week Microsoft launched the “Introduction to the Microsoft Enterprise Platform for Mainframe Professionals.” This is the first book in the series of guides for Mainframe professionals. The purpose of this book is to introduce Mainframe professionals to the Microsoft Windows platform, discussing and comparing the ecosystems in terms familiar to mainframe administrators and programmers. As well as introducing the Windows platform, the book provides guidance on moving workloads or entire systems off the Mainframe to a Windows/.NET platform. (A planned Volume 2 of this series will go into application migration issues and prescriptive guidance.)
The intended audience for this book is mainframe professionals in prospective customers’ data centers, as well as for our partners and our field organization.
