Hello

What is the best way to rent or lease a mainframe that either mimics
or helps me in the development and testing of code that is finally
supported on IBM 9672-Y56 MVS mainframe. Can you point me to any
datacenters or companies that may provide this type of service.

Hi

  If you can answer the following , I may be able to help:

1. What platform are you seeking : OS/390, CICS, COBOL ?

2. How much space do you need ?

3. How much time do you need ( how big is the develoment project )?

4. Will you have access to an Internet link to tap on the mainframe ?

Regards
Marrett

Platform: OS/390/MVS/TSO

Space: The current production system has 3.5TB capacity. 
We probably need atleast 1 TB to test and develop the
applications.

Time: The project is currently estimated from 1yr to 2 yrs.

Internet Link: Yes, possible. We may need access to mainframe
to install/load/modify applications and data. If the Data 
Center provide these services that is well and good.

Thanks.
