SVA z Hosting – the optimum software development environment

With SVA’s “z Hosting” service, SVA offers members of IBM’s “PartnerWorld/Independent Software Vendors” (ISV) the ability to port existing development environments or to install whole new development environments into SVA’s modern computing centre which has a fully certified IBM System z mainframe.

Increasing Requirements for Software Developers

To address the increasing requirements for capacities, and to arrange availability and security, many IT-enterprises choose to outsource their development environments. Despite excellent on-line capabilities over continents in other parts of the world, existing solutions usually identify weak points in regard to communication and support. Capabilities regarding time and availability are sometimes limited, with run times reduced. When this capability and offering is missing and not to the customer’s satisfaction, which the customer requires for the optimum condition for developers, we liken the service to that of a First Class hotel room.

A First Class Working Environment

IBM system z always offers high availability and reliability, and is the preferred platform for members of IBM’s “PartnerWorld/Independent Software Vendors” (ISV). At SVA’s modern computing centre, a high-performance IBM system z server offers around the clock service, with capacities to suit individual needs. Using our analogy of a Hotel, the customer can select between a single room, luxury room, or a Suite for their requirements – we accurately adapt the capacity to your needs whether complete porting of the existing development environment or a new installation according to your requirements.

Better Facilities for Lower Costs

However, a First Class hotel room will always be more expensive than one’s own home. With us the opposite is the case. Relative to the initial costs for buying and running the hardware – whether new or used – the costs of SVA’s z Hosting are often at least 50 per cent lower. With SVA’s offering, development costs with the ability to grow are significantly lowered and all operational requirements become cost-effective.
