Alebra Technologies: More Than Managed File Transfer

Alebra Technologies develops software and hardware solutions designed to seamlessly and efficiently move data and integrate applications across any platform in your enterprise, on-premises or in the cloud.

Backed by a dedicated engineering and support team with decades of experience on the IBM Z, Linux, Unix, and Windows platforms, Alebra’s Parallel Data Mover (PDM) is a managed, efficient, secure, maximum performance enterprise data sharing solution trusted by top-tier customers across the globe with their most vital data.

Efficient Data Movement

Parallel Data Mover consumes minimal system and network resources. That means you can move as much data as you need to, at any time of day. Less efficient solutions force data movement to occur during narrow, off-peak windows. Parallel Data Mover keeps the information flowing across your enterprise at zero impact to your critical workloads.

Why PDM?

  • PDM is a managed solution without the complexity of other products:
    • Simple to install and use. It’s up and running in minutes.
    • Low maintenance with a minimal support staff required.
  • PDM is an all-in-one product:
    • No need to install and maintain add-on features.
    • Robust user interfaces for data movement, monitoring, and management.
    • Functionality extends to all interfaces and platforms.
  • PDM is the most efficient way to access z/OS data:
    • Minimal overhead when z/OS data is accessed.
    • Runs completely in a zIIP on z/OS and employs high-performance FICON (zHPF).
    • Offloads data conversion and deblocking from z/OS.
  • PDM offers flexible connectivity options:
    • CTC (between z/OS hosts)
    • HiperSockets (between z/OS and/or Linux on Z hosts)
    • TCP/IP (all platforms)
    • UDP (for maximizing bandwidth to off-premises hosts)
    • FICON (z/OS to any non-z/OS host, offloading from OSA)
  • PDM includes integrated cloud storage and cloud application access with maximum bandwidth.
  • Alebra offers flexible pricing options, allowing parallel operations with products currently in use during conversion.

Seamless IBM Z Integration

Unlike solutions that treat the IBM Z platform as an afterthought, Parallel Data Mover is a mainframe-native solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing applications. PDM enables any IBM Z application to access data on any other platform as if it were local mainframe storage. PDM transparently connects your IBM Z applications to Linux, Unix, and Windows servers or Amazon S3, Google Storage, and Apache Hadoop object storage.
