California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) is America’s second largest public pension fund and the largest educator-only pension fund in the world. Headquartered in West Sacramento, CalSTRS is both a world-class financial services institution and a state agency, serving 868,000 members. Assets were $189 billion as of June 30, 2014. For years, CalSTRS has reliably run its core mission-critical application on Adabas & Natural. The CalSTRS START system manages teachers’ retirement programs so that disability, retirement and survivor benefits can be provided to 868,000 public school educators and their families.
挑战
California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) is America’s second largest public pension fund and the largest educator-only pension fund in the world. The organization was facing the challenge of reducing operating costs by moving Natural batch to the less-expensive IBM zIIP™ processor. The organization was looking for a solution that would not require any changes to the existing code or modification to batch jobs for the START application. The organization was also concerned that a new product would require more testing and more validation, which would mean more time to realize savings.
解决方案
CalSTRS implemented Natural Batch for zIIP, an add-on product, and realized immediate cost savings at the same reliable performance. This Natural addon moves the work of non-I/O batch Natural on an IBM Central Processor (CP) to cheaper zIIP processors for execution, saving on mainframe costs and lowering TCO. There were no Natural code changes or modification to batch jobs for the START application to use Natural Batch for zIIP. The agency expected to recoup the investment cost over the first year but achieved this savings in the first five months. In eight months, CalSTRS saved a total of $623,768—$77,971 a month. CalSTRS is saving on both batch processing as well as online processing costs.
