illustro's z/Ware Products:

• Run natively on the mainframe meaning no additional platforms required
• Don't use any valuable CICS resources or unreliable, complicated facilities such as CICS Web Support
• Transform mainframe data without any changes to existing applications
• Outputs native HTML or XML avoiding the use of slower Java or ActiveX which open up security holes on remote clients
• Creates true, web-based interfaces that non-mainframe people can use without training
• Are compatible with any Web-design tool allowing web designers to layout interfaces
• Licensed by concurrent-session, eliminating seat-based or CPU size pricing
• Download, install and deploy in the same day

Our newest addition to the z/Ware family is z/IPMon, the first product in the mainframe industry to deliver a 100% Web-based AJAX interface, bringing a rich, Windows application user experience that anyone can use. z/IPMon delivers all the functions you need to have a comprehensive look at what’s happening in your TCP/IP for VSE systems, both on-demand or historically with z/IPMon’s exclusive Retrospect™ feature.

illustro's z/Ware™ family of products have earned the reputation of being Easy. Our z/Web-Host™ product transforms any 3270 application directly into a fully functional, web-based interface that anyone can use. All without touching the original application. And with z/XML-Host™, mainframe data can be automatically converted into XML documents and accessed via Web Services using SOAP, meaning all that data and business-critical logic can be shared with any platform or application. This includes languages like Java and .Net, or Web-Services enabled platforms including IBM's Websphere and Microsoft Office. Imagine using an Excel spreadsheet to view and update information directly from a mainframe data file!

What's more, both z/Web-Host and z/XML-Host run directly on either z/OS-OS/390 or z/VSE and VSE/ESA, so there's no need to add cost and complexity to the process by using a different, less reliable platform just to Internet-enable your mainframe.

With z/Web-Server for VM™, we deliver a robust and secure Web Server for the z/VM and VM/ESA environments. z/Web-Server for VM offers a fast and reliable method of accessing your critical VM-based data, leveraging the proven power of the mainframe.

And now that your valuable mainframe data can easily be made available on the 'Net, security is an important issue. That's where our iCYA™ product comes in. The iCYA delivers full, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection so your data is encrypted until it reaches a trusted source.

Compare illustro's z/Ware family of products and you'll easily see the difference.

2008 introduces an important and cutting-edge new product to the mainframe world - illustro's iKnow™ Systems Access Audit Appliance using Intellinx™ technology. The iKnow™ appliance is a non-invasive solution that sits directly on your network and captures every mainframe, AS/400 or Web screen passing through your system. Beyond the important functions of monitoring for irregular access, the iKnow™ appliance can be used to replay a user’s session to see the actual error they are experiencing. Application development staff can capture and replay users’ interactions to assess usability issues—-you can even measure and be alerted to response time issues. In the growing importance of establishing proper information security and audit tracking, it's better to KNOW with the iKnow™.

 

All this sounds too good to be true---but it is-- true! Don't take our word for it, experience a Live Demo right now, or have your systems guy download the software and install it over his lunch hour!
