About

Platform Solutions, Inc. (PSI), is the first developer of a new generation of mainframe computers compatible with the broadest set of datacenter environments and operating systems, including IBM® z/OS®.

With a vision of offering true choice in the selection of advanced new mainframe systems, PSI provides customers a new level of control over their IT investments and ultimate flexibility in aligning their existing and future enterprise computing resources with changing business priorities and technologies.

Everyday, datacenters balance support for legacy platforms against the need to make strategic investments in new technologies that provide increased business agility and cost efficiency. Resources are aligned to meet service level agreements; and, system integration projects are weighed against complex and time consuming migration efforts. Now, PSI offers these customers a new choice that significantly reduces risk and provides investment protection: a new generation mainframe computer designed specifically to meet the most pressing needs of today's heterogeneous enterprise datacenters.

The new PSI mainframe computers are based on proven systems architecture spun-off from Amdahl and industry-standard Intel® Itanium® 2 processor technology. This unique combination gives customers of PSI systems unequalled system and software cost advantages over proprietary mainframe computers. PSI systems also are the first new generation mainframe computers that can simultaneously run the z/OS® operating system along with Linux, UNIX® and Windows®. This broad compatibility, along with breakthroughs in I/O virtualization, makes the new PSI mainframes ideal for bridging the proprietary mainframe world and today's increasingly open systems based environments.

Originally founded in 1999 by a core team of former Amdahl engineers, PSI raised its first round of venture funding in the Fall of 2003. PSI believes the continued growth in mainframe computing, the rise in more powerful open systems technologies and the company's unequalled insight and expertise in mainframe compatibility provides PSI the rare opportunity to meet customers' need for true choice and flexibility in mainframe computing.
