whitepaper Tales From the Frontlines: SecureZIP and IBM System z Integrated Cryptographic Services Facility2009-08-18 PKWare
  PKWARE's SecureZIP leverages the System z hardware and software facilities, regardless of the hardware features enabled in a specific installation. Secured archives (ZIP files) can be used not only on the platform they were created on, but also any platform that SecureZIP runs on. In addition, SecureZIP maximizes the investment made by customers in hardware cryptography by utilizing the least expensive processor capabilities within a system, while maintaining the data security and portability that the standard ZIP file format provides. As a result of the flexible application of PKWARE's SecureZIP Mainframe products, leveraging IBM's ICSF will enable organizations to take advantage of significant cost and resource savings when encrypting data.

whitepaper Rehosting Mainframe Workloads: Legacy Migration and Modernization Solutions From HP and Clerity2009-08-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  With today's emphasis on improving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Return On Investment (ROI), organizations must find new ways to decrease costs while maintaining functionality, meeting service level agreements, and mitigating risk. If business relies on mainframe systems, one may feel locked into a proprietary infrastructure with annual software, hardware, and support cost that are becoming increasingly less competitive. Yet the applications running on the mainframe are likely crucial to business. Many organizations are now taking the approach of moving valuable legacy applications to open systems server environments with greater economies of scale and increased business flexibility so that they can reduce overall expenditures and open up new opportunities for increased IT value.

whitepaper Reduce the Overall Costs of Managing Mainframe Storage Using BMC MAINVIEW SRM2009-07-29 BMC Software
  Businesses rely on storage and require quick access to the data, whether it is located on disk or tape. Storage is growing in an explosive manner fueled by compliance regulations, application content requirements, and business growth. Technology has made storage inexpensive to purchase and as a result, the need to implement storage management processes have been deferred. Analysts' estimates indicate that storage is growing at a rate of 50 to 70% a year. With the raw cost of mainframe disk storage hovering around .02 cents/MB ($20/GB), storage can be considered cheap. However, this does not cover the real cost of maintaining that storage.

whitepaper Virtualization Reference Guide2009-07-22 CDW
  From the time computers became ubiquitous in the business world, IT managers have been trying to find ways to make them more efficient, secure and flexible. As early as the 1960s, engineers at IBM developed a way to partition large mainframes into separate "virtual" machines, essentially carving up the mainframe's resources to make them available for specific workloads. In doing so, those engineers laid the groundwork for what today is known as virtualization — a method of dividing up a computer's resources into multiple environments to create a flexible, easy-touse, easy-to-manage, secure computing environment.
