Security Blanket provides mainframe users the ability to centrally manage multiple virtual server configurations, assess their level of security against industry standard security guidelines, and automatically configure their operating systems (OS) to a state of lock down.

Importantly, the virtual servers can be associated with groups based on common functionality or security requirements, making it simple to manage large virtual environments running on System z.

“Mainframe environments, especially those within government, financial services and healthcare, are recognizing the lower total cost of ownership achieved when they migrate from UNIX to Linux. Our customers are recognizing significant savings on hardware and software,” said Shawn Wells, director of Global System z Sales and Strategy at Red Hat.

“We are excited that TCS has made Security Blanket available to our Red Hat Enterprise Linux mainframe customers, further reducing costs by automating the OS lock down process,” added Wells.

According to a recent global study commissioned by CA, large enterprises continue to step up their investments in Linux on the mainframe in order to deliver more value to the business while controlling IT costs.
