The next project was "Virtualization". This consisted of moving the TOPS application off of the Sun

Server Platform to a Virtualized Linux environment (SUSE) on an IBM Z990 mainframe platform which was supported by Confidential . This was a huge undertaking because it was cross company as well as the main driver for the move was the volume of the TOPS business was increasing by 100% due to a large client coming on board. The legacy system was unable to support the volume of traffic so the move to the Virtual Environment had to occur. The system was successfully ported to the new

environment: without any major defects and handled the 100% increase in volume with a faster response time than the legacy system did with half the traffic.
