Five mobile trends with significant implications for the Enterprise
Mobile enables the
Internet of Things
Mobile is primary
91% of mobile users keep
their device within arms
reach 100% of the time
Global Machine-to-machine
connections will increase
from 2 billion in 2011 to 18
billion at the end of 2022
Mobile must create a
continuous brand
experience
Insights from mobile
data provide new
opportunities
90% of users use multiple
screens as channels come
together to create
integrated experiences
75% of mobile shoppers
take action after receiving a
location based messages
Mobile is about transacting
96% year to year increase in mobile cyber

System z addresses Enterprise mobile development and delivery challenges
IBM Worklight Studio and RDz
Fragmentation and developing for multiple
mobile platforms
• Seamless integration with z data
and transactions.
• Highly fragmented set of devices, platforms,
languages, and tools complicates
development, test, and operations
• Device runtime provides mobile
device independence.
Accelerated time to market requirements
System z Scalability
• Accelerated development demands instant
provisioning of development servers.
• System z Linux cloud enables rapid
provisioning of Worklight servers.
• Spikey mobile traffic demands highly
scalable cloud-based infrastructures, for
both SoE and SoR.
• z/OS is the leader in transaction
processing and easily scalable to
handle workload increases.
Connecting apps with existing
enterprise systems
z/OS is mobile enabled
• z/OS subsystems are mobile-ready,
with consumability enhancements
planned. Eg: MongoDB API for DB2
• End to end mobile security.
• High-performance access from z/Linux
• Apps typically need to leverage existing
enterprise services, which must be made
mobile-consumable, and remain secure.
• Enterprise systems must be able to instantly
provision new services and environments.

Demonstrating the before and after looks of the CICS catalog manager example
sample application. From using 3270 emulator to running as a Worklight mobile
application. A walk through of the transformed and extended mobile client
features and functionalities. Brief highlights of Worklight MBS as well as
Cordova APIs.

System z Unique Characteristics to support
Mobile Applications





Easy-to-consume APIs from CICS, DB2, IMS allow you to leverage your
investment in z/OS transactions to quickly add a mobile channel.
z/OS enables massive and simple scalability in a single footprint, to handle the
workload of millions of devices and sensors
Worklight security integrates with z/OS security providing end-to-end security
and data privacy for mobile apps.
z/OS Workload Management ensures your crucial applications remain
responsive during sharp spikes in demand.
Low-latency access to critical enterprise data. Mobile usage patterns favor short, read-only data
requests (Users check account balances) So fast access to operational data, with low latency, is key. The mainframe
offers exceptional I/O with dedicated hardware I/O processors. This reduces latency, which increases mobile app
response times.

Business Resiliency for critical mobile apps
“70% of mobile applications touch a mainframe system”
Infrastructure matters for mobile applications. The
System z platform’s scalability, security, and
resilience can enhance critical mobile applications.

Why run Worklight Server on System z Linux?
For the same reasons you run web apps there for over a decade:

Co-location of the Worklight server application with data and transactions on z/OS
reduces the latency of access to z/OS data. Hipersockets provides the lowest latency
communication between Worklight apps and z/OS SOR. Hipersockets eliminates the need to encrypt traffic between
Worklight and z/OS.

Availability and scalability of z/Linux as an environment for both Worklight dev/test
and production.

Hardware encryption speeds SSL applications

All the traditional advantages of consolidating multiple distributed servers onto
z/Linux -- Reduce data center footprint, WAS software license savings, simpler
management, energy savings.
We recommend running Worklight Server in System
z Linux for data-rich applications that will heavily
leverage data and transactions from z/OS.
See this wiki for more rationale for WL on z.

z/OS Connect
A service that encapsulate calling z/OS target applications using REST calls.
z/OS Connect will support JSON payloads for calls from external cloud or
mobile-based clients and will enable the conversion of the payload to the target
program's expected format. It will also provide the response payload conversion
from a byte array into JSON format before returning the response to the caller.
