Ensono Cloud-Connected Mainframe for Microsoft Azure

Accelerate your cloud journey
At Ensono, we’re pioneering the future of cloud computing with our Cloud-Connected Mainframe for Microsoft Azure—a revolutionary, fully integrated cloud-first hybrid IT solution.

This isn’t just cloud migration; it’s a transformational journey. Experience ultra-low latency connectivity that empowers your modern application architecture. Our solution offers a frictionless path into the cloud, without any penalties for moving your vital data.

Seamless low-latency connectivity
Experience the power of 2-3 ms low-latency connectivity between your mainframe and Azure workloads. This allows previously anchored applications to seamlessly transition to the cloud.

Effortless portability and cost efficiency
Connect your mainframe to Azure with Azure ExpressRoute Local to enable a predictable cost model that is inclusive of ingress and egress charges. This provides data and workload portability without having to worry about additional costs for moving large amounts of data between the mainframe and Azure. In addition, Ensono Flex® promotes application transformation and cost efficiency in the ever-evolving cloud landscape. Migrate workloads across your hybrid IT environment without penalties.

Expertise for your transformation
Leverage over 20 years of Ensono’s expertise in modernizing, migrating, running, and optimizing mainframe and cloud environments. Our AI automated toolchain and modernization framework, combined with structured ITSM/ITIL best practices, ensure efficiency, security, and alignment with your cloud transformation objectives.
