Reminder: Running COBOL Batch as zIIP-eligible Java (Technical deep dive)
Mainframe CPU costs and general-purpose processor capacity remain a top challenge for IT leaders. Moving workloads to zIIP specialty engines is one of the most effective ways to reclaim capacity, but many teams assume refactoring COBOL is the only path forward.
If you haven’t saved your spot yet, join us this month for a deep dive into JOPAZ.
