Why Migrate to Unix/Linux ?
1. Increase Performance
– runs that took hours on old mainframes
– take minutes on new unix/linux machines
2. Reduce Cost:
– Linux systems less expensive than
proprietary Mainframes
3. Reduce Risk:
– migrating existing systems is less risky than
rewrites or new package implementations
4. Preserve legacy logic:
– Proven & customized over many years
