OpenFrame is a mainframe rehosting solution developed by TmaxSoft that aims to help customers move existing mainframe assets to the cloud quickly and with minimal risk.[1] It replaces legacy CICS/IMS/JES mainframe engines and shifts business applications written in legacy code like COBOL and PL/I to Linux.[2] This allows reduced licensing costs compared to the mainframe.

It also includes a test tool which helps users determine if the migration will preserve functionality without additional adjustments.[3]

The current version of OpenFrame is 7.0, which was first released in Japan in September, 2015.[4] The previous version, OpenFrame 6.0 was released in the U.S. market in 2009.[5]
