Abstract:

To help address declining mainframe skills, CA is introducing Mainframe 2.0, an initiative to change the way the mainframe is managed forever. Mainframe 2.0 will result in changes across CA's entire z/OS product line, starting with simplifying the customer experience for managing CA z/OS software. In this session, the speaker will provide an overview of Mainframe 2.0, explain why CA has embarked on this initiative, and will cover details about the new, browser based, CA Mainframe Software Manager and other efforts that are under the Mainframe 2.0 umbrella.
