Enterprise data gets moved around a lot. An application needs it, an analytics team wants a copy, or an AI project needs training data. Each request may make sense on its own. Add them together, though, and there are more pipelines to maintain, more copies to protect,...
In this first-person piece, Robi Singh shares what he learned in Rome about the changing demands of mainframe resilience—from regulation and cyber recovery to GDPS, AI, and quantum-safe security.The z/Resilience Conference is known for bringing together mainframe...
A mobile banking app begins timing out. The cloud operations team sees API failures. The IBM Z team sees Db2 lock contention. Both teams launch separate investigations, even though they are troubleshooting the same outage. When a customer transaction spans distributed...

When Anthropic's Mythos model and Project Glasswing demonstrated that AI could identify software vulnerabilities at machine speed, the security community took notice. But the most important insight from Mythos wasn't about discovery speed. It was about everything that...
Can domain-specific AI accelerate mainframe learning while keeping human expertise and judgment central? IBM’s Meredith Stowell weighs in. Artificial intelligence (AI) can help newcomers learn jobs quicker and contribute faster. A study by the National Bureau of...
Moving IBM Z source code into Git should simplify development. But when Git still feeds a legacy library manager, teams often end up maintaining two systems, two workflows, and two versions of the truth. For many IBM Z clients, the journey to modern development...
Why integrity-led organizations will win the AI era. As organizations continue adopting AI, mainframe trust matters more than ever. Technology can move information and accelerate decisions, achieving more than imagined even 10 years ago. But reliable systems,...
Every budget cycle, IBM Z teams are asked to justify the platform's cost. The strongest answer isn't about hardware or software. It’s about measurable business value.Come budget season, and somewhere, a technology leader is asked a familiar question: "Why does the...
How monitoring and statistics data turn performance symptoms into evidence When something slows down in a CICS environment, the conversation often starts with a phrase every systems programmer (sysprog) has heard before: "CICS feels stuck." The problem with that...
