Archive your mainframes without losing access, compliance, or control and save millions in legacy costs.
Mainframe applications have been the backbone of enterprise operations for decades, but in today’s digital-first world, they’re fast becoming a liability. High maintenance costs, outdated architecture, limited scalability, and shrinking mainframe talent pools make mainframe archival a critical initiative.
And one question remains: what happens to the data from aging mainframe systems you still need for compliance, audit, or analytics?
That’s where Archon Suite steps in. Archon Suite offers a secure, compliant, and modern approach to mainframe archival. With Archon Suite’s advanced archiving solutions, you can retire from your legacy mainframe systems and securely migrate data to a unified archive without compromising access or compliance.
Archon Suite seamlessly connects with legacy mainframe environments—whether it’s IBM z/OS, VSAM, or IMS—to extract, archive, and manage structured, semi-structured and unstructured data with customized data integration.
Benefits
Preserves the logical relationships between your archived mainframe data so your teams can continue to query and analyze it as if it were still live.
Benefits
All archived mainframe data is immutable and compliant with leading global and industry-specific regulations—including SOX, RBI, HIPAA, CCPA and GDPR. Archon locks down your mainframe archives with the same rigor as your active systems—ensuring long-term integrity and restricted access.
Benefits
Archon doesn’t just archive your mainframe data; it makes it usable for modern AI and analytics tools, unlocking long-term business insights from your historical systems.
Benefits
Before archival, Archon categorizes all mainframe data into actionable buckets—so you migrate only what you need and archive the rest without paying for excess.
