“We are seeing increased interest from financial service IT departments to deploy technologies that can reduce cost and add flexibility…”

Brian Riley, senior research analyst, CEB TowerGroup


First Data business and product needs

Expand VisionPLUS solution to standard servers Leverage proven technology Provide right-sized payment IT infrastructure Expedite FI’s route to revenue Deliver global capabilities with local service


First Data’s VisionPLUS products


Mainframe re-hosting of VisionPLUS application

Key considerations • Leverage proven products

• Launch quickly

• Provide flexibility/capability in technology for FIs

Solution set • MicroFocus Enterprise Server deployment platform for batch and transaction execution

• SuSE Linux

• HP Converged Infrastructure: HP blade servers, 3PAR storage, HP Networking Switches, Virtual Connect, and HP Data Protector


Re-hosting of VisionPLUS application Mainframe to HP Converged Infrastructure running Linux on x86 servers

Deliver on scale and stability and obtain benefits on: Reduced operating costs

Great performance

Better modernization options

Minimize unnecessary risk Leverage strengths of current application architecture


Re-hosting with MicroFocus Enterprise Server


HP and First Data performance testing

Performance goals • Prove scale and stability

• Right size for three configurations

• Measure batch performance

• Efficient CPU utilization

• Validate online authorization

Performance certification • Eight key measures established

• Validation tests used to right-size solution

• Measure batch at peak processing
