What's Your Perspective? - Architect

Where do I get more from?

One of our systems architects once likened his job to doing a jigsaw puzzle without the benefit of the photo on the lid of the box. There are many pieces but it requires a great deal of foresight, insight, and no small measure of hindsight – call it experience – to successfully steer an organization through the technology maze.

We understand that the pressure is on you to identify “the next big thing” - the differentiator that will continue to allow IT to meet the demands of your enterprise. From your strategic perspective you simply must leverage emerging technology in ways that change the game. But with your tactical hat on you must also be sure that in your efforts to “cross the chasm” you don’t plunge into it!

"From your strategic perspective you simply must leverage emerging technology in ways that change the game."

At Alebra we believe we can help you meet these apparently conflicting requirements. Our leading edge products are, broadly speaking, designed to do one thing: improve access to and movement of data between applications in non-heterogeneous environments. For example, Parallel Data Mover™ leverages data streaming techniques to enable applications running in mainframe, Unix and NT environments to access or move data files Application-to-Application, File-to-Application or File-to-File over FICON/FC fabric or TCP/IP Networks with new levels of speed and efficiency.

The improved throughput of all systems gained using the FICON/FC network vs. TCP/IP is compelling. High volume information transfers complete 2 to 6 times faster, CPU cycles that were necessary for TCP/IP overhead are reduced ten-fold, and you can reduce file duplication and the architectural complexity required to support it.

You have more capacity available to deliver IT services, you simplified your infrastructure at the same time, and MIPS savings will pay for all of this in months.
