Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Adabas: ADABAS, Adaptable DAta BAse System, is Software AG’s primary database management system. Initially released on IBM mainframe systems using DOS/360, OS/MFT or OS/MVT, ADABAS is now available on a range of other systems including OpenVMS, Unix (including Linux and Linux on zSeries), and Microsoft Windows servers. ADABAS has maintained its position as one of the world's fastest OLTP databases. Historically, ADABAS was used in conjunction with Software AG's programming language NATURAL, so that many legacy applications that use ADABAS as a database on the back-end are also developed with NATURAL as well.
