Cloud-based mainframe integration system and method
First Claim
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, andwherein the load balancer represented by the single domain URI entry point and routing requests to target MIS instances.

Abstract
The present technology concerns 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. The cloud-based mainframe integration system comprises, at least one mainframe integration server, adapted for routing communications between the at least one client and the at least one mainframe. The at least one MIS is located within a cloud computing environment separate from a computer network in which the at least one mainframe is located. The at least one MIS also is adapted for communicating with the separate network over a non-persistent communication connection.

12. A method for providing at least one client access to at least one mainframe, the at least one mainframe being accessible over a persistent communication connection, the method comprising:
-
routing, by at least one mainframe integration server (MIS), via a cloud computing environment, communications between the at least one client and the at least one mainframe; and communicating with each MIS instance via a load balancer, 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. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly storing a computer program comprising instructions for causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to perform functionality comprising:
-
routing, by at least one mainframe integration server (MIS), via cloud computing environment, communications between the at least one client and the at least one mainframe; and communicating with each MIS instance via a load balancer, 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.
