Introducing New UI for STRATUS

Why Object Storage?

The exponential growth of data presents z/OS shops with the ongoing challenge of managing storage efficiently. Cloud object storage offers a modern alternative, working alongside traditional mainframe storage to connect established workflows with flexible, on-demand capacity.

For mainframe teams, cloud object storage isn’t just another place to store data it’s a foundation for simplifying operations, reducing costs, and breaking down silos.

Stratus at a Glance

STRATUSn gives organizations the ability to securely extend mainframe storage into cloud object storage, giving teams a better way to handle longstanding, rarely accessed, or static datasets. Built specifically for z/OS environments, it provides teams with a simpler, smarter approach to storing data in lower-cost cloud infrastructure while preserving the reliability of their existing systems.

Introducing New UI for STRATUS:

Modernizing how mainframe teams interact with cloud storage should feel approachable, not overwhelming. That’s why we’re introducing the new STRATUSn UI, a streamlined, intuitive interface designed to make working with S3 cloud providers easier than ever, even for those new to z/OS.

With this new interface, STRATUSn becomes even more accessible. This tool is designed not just for mainframe engineers, but for anyone across the organization who needs to interact with mainframe storage. The UI brings everything together in one place, enabling shared data access across sysplexes, visualization of DFSMShsm data movement, and management of cloud object storage for long-term data retention and backups.

For many organizations, mainframes remain the backbone of mission critical workloads. As organizations adopt more cloud infrastructure, teams often face challenges connecting traditional mainframe workflows with modern cloud object storage, an area STRATUSn is designed to bridge. It offers a clean, approachable design that helps users whether they’re transferring data within their system or moving it off into cloud object storage, the user interface gives you a clean, approachable design.
