Hybrid cloud and enterprise integration architecture
How to connect the mainframe to everything else on purpose: choosing between APIs, MQ, events, file transfer and replication, securing identity and data across tiers, controlling latency and MIPS cost, and the hybrid cloud patterns that keep z/OS as the system of record.
What you will be able to do
- Compare APIs, MQ messaging, event streaming, file transfer and data replication and choose the right style for a given integration
- Design end-to-end security across tiers, including TLS and identity propagation into z/OS
- Estimate the latency and processor cost of an integration and reduce it with caching, batching and zIIP-eligible work
- Apply common hybrid cloud patterns with sound governance over APIs, data and change
Lessons
- Integration styles and how to chooseThere are five main ways to connect mainframe systems with the rest of the enterprise: synchronous APIs, MQ messaging, event streaming, file transfer and data replication. Each…
- Security and performance across tiersWhen a request crosses from a phone through cloud services into CICS, the mainframe still needs to know who the real user is, the data must be protected on every hop, and each…
- Hybrid cloud patterns and governanceMost enterprises keep z/OS as the system of record while building new front ends and analytics in the cloud. This lesson covers the common patterns for doing that, the risks of…
