From our inception over 24 years ago, M-Cubed consistently provides comprehensive systems engineering and application development support for the mainframe infrastructure including the Z/OS, Z/VM and SuSE LINUX operating systems and associated program products and third party vendor products including CA Opera, CA M204, FDR/DSF, SAS and ORACLE.  The M-Cubed mainframe team is composed of gray–haired gurus and young developers, which results in a unique synergy of experience and innovation.

Typical mainframe engineering support includes the implementation, administration and application of product patches for all IBM mainframe products and various third party vendor products.  We provide support for the tuning and refining of the technical architecture (i.e., hardware, systems software, and communications) to enhance the performance, reliability, availability and security of the mainframe infrastructure.  Services include:

M-Cubed has extensive experience in the development, maintenance and support of system and applied software on all IBM platforms (zSeries & S/390, pSeries & RS/6000, iSeries & AS/400).   The migration of legacy systems to Web 2.0 computer platforms is a key area of focus for the company. For many of our clients, such migration serves as a transformation vehicle to address new opportunities.
Whether you are building mainframe applications from the ground up or migrating your current mainframe systems to a new environment, we can help. Our experience allows us to bridge the gap between old and new technologies, the result being practical business tools that help you move your organization forward.

M-Cubed mainframe clients include the U.S. Treasury – Financial Management Service (FMS) and the U.S. Army – Fort Detrick.  Currently we are supporting the FMS SAN environment that is built around the IBM Tivoli Storage Area Network Manager and the IBM Enterprise Storage Servers.  We provide mainframe engineering support for Virtual IP Addressing (VIPA) for the mainframe, OSA-Express Implementation, TCP/IP and VTAM.  M-Cubed performs network monitoring for mainframe TCP/IP and SNA services.  We provide systems implementation and maintenance support for Host on Demand HOD, CTC and ESCON services.  For FMS, M-Cubed created TCP/IP profile definitions and VTAM definitions for the OSA-E replacement of the 3172 mainframe support and we created a bridge for the 3172 token ring subnets while converting them over to Ethernet for compatibility with the OSA-E Fast Ethernet adapter ports.
