Luminex is changing the way storage is connected to the mainframe.  Our strategic vision is to open the mainframe market to the same competitive forces that are at work in the open systems marketplace.  We recognize that competition is good for the market and that opening the ESCON and FICON channels can only result in a stronger and more competitive array of product offerings for the mainframe customer.

The Channel Gateway is enabling a flood of innovative, better, faster, more feature rich and more cost-effective mainframe storage solutions to hit the market.

Of course this “changing of the guard” will be met with strong and decisive resistance from the “old guard” that would prefer that you not have choices for your mainframe storage solutions. The “old guards” are masters at throwing FUD around when they are in a position where they think a customer might by looking to leave the fold.   Just remember, their motivation is to continue to lock you into their proprietary solutions! 

Before we accept an order for any of our Channel Gateway products, a comprehensive customer interview is completed and the entire configuration is defined.  Our preparation is both thorough and professional – nothing is left to chance and we guarantee your complete satisfaction with our solution.  Plus we can and do provide references to our installed base of mainframe datacenters.
