Mainframe as a Service - CherryRoad Technologies

Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS)

End-to-end Managed Mainframe Hosting and Migration Services

For organizations that process high-volume transactions, nothing can compare to the power and security of mainframe computing. However, rising support costs and a shrinking talent pool can present a challenge. CherryRoad can solve this with our Mainframe as a Service offering.

Mainframes are still the right choice:

Most mainframe platforms are still supported and have modern hardware available.
The cost of application migration can far exceed the cost of keeping existing mainframe systems.
The closed nature of mainframe systems can provide a level of security above other operating environments
