What is Zowe™?
Zowe is an open source initiative within the Linux Foundation’s Open Mainframe Project (OMP). Founded by CA Technologies, a Broadcom Company, IBM and Rocket Software, Zowe is the first open source project based on z/OS.
Broadcom proudly contributed major components such as the Zowe CLI, Zowe API Mediation Layer and the Zowe Visual Studio Code extension to the open source community.
Hundreds of developers are dedicated to extending Zowe and building a community around open source on the mainframe.
| BENEFITS
How does Zowe with Brightside support benefit me?
DevOps Leaders
Bringing enterprise DevOps to the mainframe increases organizational productivity and simplifies measurement through standardization.
Enterprise Architects
Brightside allows an API-first strategy to extend to the mainframe, making it a more seamless technology platform.
Mainframe Teams
The mainframe becomes an exciting career option by building DevOps skills with modern tools while running big iron apps.
IT Executives
Brightside opens mainframe development to the large universe of devops professionals, helping to address the critical shortage of mainframe skills.
Bringing open source tools to the mainframe
Mainframe teams have, to date, been unable to benefit from the explosion of open source devops tools that their enterprise counterparts use to accelerate software delivery. With Zowe, mainframe teams leverage the same tools and modern practices that turbocharge software delivery.
