Eyeing the fertile market of IBM mainframe installations, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and Intel on Tuesday will detail a program that incorporates SOA and grid concepts in helping migrate mainframe applications.
The effort is intended to help customers increase business performance, reduce costs, and mitigate risks when moving from mainframes to server environments. Called the Application Modernization Initiative, the program features Oracle Fusion middleware, professional services from HP and HP's Integrity servers running Intel Itanium processors. It will be officially announced at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco by HP Chairman, CEO, and President Mark Hurd during a keynote presentation.
