NWRDC offers IBM z/OS Mainframe Application Hosting services and support to our customers. NWRDC can host a single application or complete LPARs as your needs require. We can support any existing application you may have running on your mainframe or on another site, such as CICS, DB2, Batch, Web Access, etc.

Customers benefit from sharing resources and costs on our IBM z9 machine. Depending on customer needs, customers are either allocated resources within a shared logical partition, or a separate logical partition is created and dedicated for their use. NWRDC also subscribes disaster recovery for all our mainframe customers as part of the service.

The NWRDC currently hosts a diverse mix of mission-critical and administrative applications for its customers, ranging from routine financial applications and student information systems for Universities, Community Colleges and K-12 School Districts, to the hosting of massive databases that support the functions of the Florida Department of Education.
