z/OS to Unix/Linux Migration
Easy as Child's Play!

Reusing z/OS applications on Unix or Linux delivers massive cost savings while protecting highly valuable business logic and preventing user disruptions.

r4z responds to the continuous growing and unsatisfied demand of IBM mainframe customers to reduce software and hardware costs, optimize MIPS/MSU usage, and increase agility and openness.
To avoid the lengthy, costly and painful projects of re-development or commercial software customization, MetaWare provides an alternative for switching existing applications from z/OS to Unix and Linux.
