Businesses use the Web browser more than ever as a universal client for accessing many kinds of data and applications. At the same time, developers are using Java as the platform with which to deliver applications to this universal Web client. Where is the data that these applications need to access? On mainframe computers (over 70% of the world’s data, in fact!) running applications like CICS, IMS, and DB2. With mainframe sales on the rise, many companies are looking for ways to link the Web browser to data locked away in corporate mainframes. If you’re a CIO, MIS director, software development manager, or software developer, you’re probably looking for products that will link these technologies for you in a flexible, effortless, and extensible way. |
