Is your mainframe operating system long out of date—so out of date that it's no longer supported? Are you missing out on the improved performance and features in the latest system upgrade? Is your programming staff spending more and more time keeping your system running—and less and less time working on projects that can move your business forward?

You're not alone: Too many businesses let fear of costly surprises keep them from upgrading their mainframe OS. But PSR's SystemBuild for z/VM, z/VSE and z/OS lets you move up to the productivity and performance of the latest OS—without the staff strain, downtime, and unforeseen problems associated typically associated with OS migrations. That's because with SystemBuild your migration is staged, integrated, and tested off-site—and then delivered to your site full customized and ready to run.

Let PSR pre-stage, pre-integrate and pre-tune your migration at our site. We stage your entire migration in our own ServerAssure Center, on a duplicate of the mainframe, software and storage configuration at your site. We pre-integrate the migration with your infrastructure, customize it to meet your specific requirements, and tune it for optimal performance on your system.

Test the build remotely and completely, before production. Test your build via remote dial-in or Internet connection—so you can spot and correct any problems or conflicts before we deliver the final build to your site. It's also a great way to pre- train your people on the new operating system, so they're up to speed on the day you deploy.

Make the final switch to your site in minutes, without downtime. The final cutover takes minutes and is truly a turnkey event—all your software and storage is immediately live on the new system. It all happens without incident or downtime. In fact in most cases, all your users will notice is improved system response and performance.

Maximize your resources; minimize costs. With SystemBuild your people don't have to set time aside for backups, restores and other migration-related chores; they stay productive throughout the entire migration process. And because you don't pay software and maintenance charges until the cutover to your site, you avoid costly double charges typically associated with onsite migrations.

Get everything—including follow-up support—for a reasonable, fixed price. A single price covers all the entire migration—plus 30 days of post-production, 24/7, one-hour response time support from the PSR Systems Manager who built your system and knows your data center.

You can have it sooner than you think. PSR performs hundreds of SystemBuild migrations every year—our experience slashes migration time from months to weeks and, in some cases even days.
