Abstract:
1. A cloud-based mainframe integration system for providing at least one client access to at least one mainframe, the at least one mainframe being accessible over a persistent communication connection, wherein the cloud-based mainframe integration system comprises: at least one mainframe integration server (MIS), implemented using at least one information processing apparatus having at least one processor, and configured to route communications, via a cloud computing environment, between the at least one client and the at least one mainframe; and a load balancer configured to communicate with each MIS instance, wherein the at least one MIS is located within the cloud computing environment separate from a computer network in which the at least one mainframe is located, wherein the cloud computing environment provides a dynamically allocated pool of virtual machines and a single domain URI entry point, each MIS instance publishing a unique URI enabling communication between MIS instances and enabling communication between each MIS instance and the single domain URI entry point, wherein the at least one MIS is configured to communicate over the separate computer network, with the at least one mainframe, over a non-persistent communication connection, and wherein the load balancer represented by the single domain URI entry point and routing requests to target MIS instances.
