Rocket has years of investment into automation infrastructure, packaging and delivery options, and an experienced support team. This system combines the high security that mainframe customers demand with an easy user experience for sysprogs and end users.
Many of the world’s largest banks, insurance companies and government agencies rely on Rocket open-source languages and tools for z/OS that are available through Open AppDev for Z. That’s why we feel it's essential that we check our deliverables for vulnerabilities and follow proper licensing requirements.
All of our products are:
- Kept up to date continuously against the NIST National Vulnerability Database
- Scanned for both security vulnerabilities and conformance to proper open-source licensing prior to release
Rocket Open AppDev for zSystems open-source ports can be delivered and maintained for your internal users in four different ways: public conda channel; private conda channel; on-premises conda file channel; SMP/E.
