“IBM Z is the only platform we run on,” says Bob Biggs, an engineer with Altera Digital Health. “It’s always up, and it’s always available.”  When one of their clients moved to a Web-based platform, it was vital that Altera’s HealthQuest medical-records solution continue to access data from the secure, reliable mainframe. Altera responded with a faster, more-efficient solution utilizing TCIP/IP and CICS that provides near-instantaneous communication between server and mainframe.  Listen for a deep technical dive into how Altera implemented this solution for their client – and how Linux containers might soon increase data speeds from milliseconds to nanoseconds.
