Batch processes

JCLs deployed on a native Kubernetes engine that supports DAG and step-based workflows

Workflows can combine COBOL and Apache Spark programs to extend and evolve the process functionality

Proxys connect mainframe subsystems (DB2, CICS, IMS) to Kubernetes

Mainframe Proxys allows a step-by-step application migration
