NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, announced a collaboration with Stonebranch, a leading provider of workload automation and job scheduling solutions, to revolutionize replatforming of mainframe workloads to the public cloud. This strategic partnership aims to support flexible hybrid work strategies and continuous modernization for enterprises seeking to transform their core business processes.
Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC) offers native support for UniKix by NTT DATA, their mainframe-rehosting software suite, to modernize the most complex mainframe workloads to public cloud. This ensures a seamless transition of workloads to the cloud and their IT infrastructure by enabling job scheduling across both mainframe and distributed environments for enterprises.
“UAC orchestrates and automates workloads across the entire enterprise hybrid IT environment,” said Peter Baljet, CTO, Stonebranch. “Integrating UAC with UniKix makes it easier than ever to simultaneously run workloads on-premises and in the cloud.”
UniKix by NTT DATA helps organizations modernize mainframe systems to maintain and enhance the value of existing applications without extensive rewrites or reengineering. Mainframe modernization is a critical challenge in the digital transformation journey for enterprises, presenting significant opportunities to enhance core business operations.
“NTT DATA and Stonebranch share a vision for client transformation and continuous modernization. This integration is just one expression of that shared vision,” said Glen Foley, VP of Application Modernization, NTT DATA Services. “Scheduler migration and ongoing management is a critical success factor for replatforming mainframe workloads to public cloud. Stonebranch and UniKix together are a powerful combination.”
As NTT DATA continues to expand its UniKix solution and partner ecosystem, the collaboration with Stonebranch reinforces its commitment to delivering innovative solutions that drive digital transformation for enterprises.
