Linux on Z brings the Linux you already know to the reliability, security, and scale of the IBM Z mainframe — consolidating thousands of workloads onto a single, resilient platform. PARSEC supports it end to end: the Linux distributions themselves (RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu on s390x), the z/VM virtualization underneath, and the mainframe operations around them.
Whether you want fully managed hosting in a private cloud or remote support that keeps your hardware in place, PARSEC has you covered — US-based, direct-to-expert, 24/7. And because we know our stuff across most major platforms, you can count on us for much more.
