第一回：2026年、メインフレーム・モダナイゼーションの現在地 メインフレーム（汎用コンピュータ）は、日本の社会インフラや主要企業の基幹業務システムにおいて、長年にわたり高い堅牢性と信頼性を提供してきました。IBMのz/OS、富士通のXSP/OSIV、NECのACOSなど、各社が独自に発展させたプラットフォームは、現在も重要インフラを支えています。しかし2026年現在、主要メーカーによるメインフレーム事業の撤退・サポート終了方針の提示、および保守を担うベテラン技術者の定年退職によるスキル継承の限界から、事業継続上の実害を伴う課題が顕在化しています。 こうした状況下において企業に求められるのは、単なるシステムの延命ではなく、自社のデータに対する統制（データ主権）を維持し、将来的なデータ活用を見据えたシステムアーキテクチャの再設計です。 本稿では、メインフレームのモダナイゼーションにおける選択肢として、オンプレミス環境や各種クラウド基盤の特性およびリスクを比較・整理することで、失敗しない移行への第一歩を考えます。 1. 確実性を高めるアプローチとインフラの選択肢 メインフレーム脱却において重要な検討事項は、移行後におけるシステム性能、可用性、セキュリティなどの非機能要件の維持です。 プログラム言語の変換のみでは、基幹システムとしての要求水準を満たすことはできません。この課題に対して、VMwareのTanzuアーキテクチャチームが公開している技術指針（An Architecture Path to Mainframe Modernization）では、一括刷新（ビッグバン移行）に伴う処理結果の不一致や障害リスクを回避するため、段階的な移行手法が推奨されています。具体的には、アプリケーション層において、現行システムを稼働させながら、重要な機能やデータを単位ごとに新環境へ段階的に移行する手法（Stranglerパターン）を適用します。そして、それを受け止めるインフラ層として、自社統制が可能なVMware環境上のLinux基盤を採用することにより、既存のビジネスロジックを活用しつつ、メインフレームと同等の応答性や可用性を維持することが可能となります。 一方で、パブリッククラウド各社が公開している情報をもとに直接パブリッククラウドのネイティブ環境へ移行するルートを検討する企業も少なくありません。パブリッククラウドは最新のAI機能や外部サービスと手軽に連携できるメリットがありますが、基幹システムをそのまま持ち込む際には把握しておくべき現実的な注意点があります。 共有環境（マルチテナント）における非機能要件の課題 他社と物理リソースを共有する構成では、ミリ秒単位の低遅延処理や、他システムの負荷影響を排除したリソース隔離の再現が困難です。 専用（占有）環境におけるコストおよび為替リスク 上記の課題を回避するために占有環境を採用した場合、初期費用および運用費用が高騰しやすくなります。また、サービス特有のドル建て課金体系により、為替変動（ドル高・円安）や国際情勢の影響を受けて中長期的なインフラコストが不透明化するリスクがあります。 データ主権に関わるリスク 米国クラウド法（CLOUD Act）に基づく国外法執行機関からのデータアクセス要求の可能性や、暗号鍵の管理権限を事業者に依存することによるデータ閲覧リスクなど、データ統制上の課題が生じます。 現在では、オンプレミスの堅牢性とクラウドの柔軟性を両立させるアプローチとして、国内事業者によるソブリンクラウドや、ハイパースケーラー上で展開される専有VMware基盤（VMC on AWS, AVS, OCVS等）も有力な選択肢となっています。コスト・性能・法制度リスクを多角的に評価した上で、適材適所の配置を行うことが不可欠です。 2. 2026年における移行戦略と仕分け 規約や為替リスクを回避し、自社主導でデータを管理・運用するための移行パターンとして、代表的な3つのアプローチを整理します。 移行パターン 具体的なアプローチ 2026年現在の評価とリスク 1. リプレイス （全面手組み刷新） システムを解体し、パッケージ導入またはゼロから再構築します。 数千万行規模のビジネスロジックの再設計を伴うため、膨大なコストと期間を要します。現行システムとの処理結果の相違等により、長期化・頓挫リスクが高くなります。 2. リホスト （クラウド直接移行） 現行プログラムをパブリッククラウドの仮想マシンへそのまま移行します。 移行期間の短縮は見込めるものの、共有環境における処理遅延、占有環境採用時のコスト高騰・為替リスク、および国外法制度に伴うデータ統制上のリスクが存在します。 3. リファクター （自動リライト＋次世代インフラ） 変換ツールを用いてモダン言語（Java等）へ機能等価で一括変換し、自社統制が可能なインフラへ移行します。 アプリケーションの書き換えリスクを最小化しつつ非機能要件を確保できます。パブリッククラウド直行のリスクを回避し、データ主権を維持する現実的な選択肢となります。 現在、移行を成功させている企業では、パターン3の採用が多くみられます。 実績のある自動変換ツールを用いてアプリケーション層の資産をJava等へ安全に移行し、受け皿となるインフラ層には、高い物理性能とセキュリティを維持できるソフトウェア定義プラットフォームを、オンプレミスや、ハイパースケーラー上で展開される専有VMware基盤上に構築します。アプリケーションのモダナイゼーションとインフラ基盤のモダナイゼーションを適切に役割分担することが、確実性の高い解決策となります。 … Continued The post VCF9で完遂するメインフレーム・モダナイゼーション appeared first on VMware Blogs.

官公庁や金融機関など、高度なセキュリティが求められる環境において、VMware vSphere® などのセキュリティ設定を評価し、担保することはインフラ運用の重要な課題です。本記事では、米国防総省（DoD）の基準であるDISA STIG（Security Technical Implementation Guide）を活用した、VMware プロダクトのセキュリティ監査、自動化、結果の可視化手法について解説します。 1. DISA STIG とは？ VMware との共同開発 STIGとは、米国防総省の情報システム局（DISA）が発行する、システムを安全に構成するための技術ガイドラインです。セキュリティ技術実装ガイド（STIG）は、国防情報システム局（DISA）が発行する構成標準であり、特定のソフトウェア製品が国防総省のセキュリティ要件を満たすためにどのように構成する必要があるかを規定しています。STIG は、構成すべき内容だけでなく、構成方法も定義しており、国防総省環境での使用が認められるためにシステムが満たすべき具体的な設定、値、検証手順などが含まれます。 STIG は、NIST SP 800-53 およびより広範な国防総省のセキュリティフレームワークから派生した一連のセキュリティ管理策を中心に構成されています。STIG 内の個々の要件は管理策（またはルール）と呼ばれ、各管理策には重大度評価（カテゴリI、II、III。それぞれ高、中、低の影響に対応）、セキュリティ設定の説明、準拠を確認する手順、および発見事項を是正する手順があります。 複数ベンダーが並ぶ DISA の STIG 管理サイト DISAの公式サイト（DoD Cyber Exchange）には、OS、データベース、ネットワーク機器からクラウドインフラに至るまで、多数のベンダー製品向けの STIG がラインナップされています。Microsoft®、Red Hat、Cisco®、VMware など、各ベンダー製品のセキュリティ基準がここで一元管理されています。 VMware と DISA の共同開発と最終承認 vSphere や VMware Cloud Foundation® 9 (VCF 9) 向けの STIG は、VMware と DISA が連携して共同開発しています。VMware が製品のアーキテクチャや最新機能（VCF の新機能など）に基づいたベストプラクティスを提案し、DISA … Continued The post 米国 DISA STIG を活用した VMware のセキュリティ監査と自動化 appeared first on VMware Blogs.

全国約1,150の地方公共団体や会計事務所、大手企業に向けたIT・クラウドサービスを提供する株式会社TKC様。本日はVMware Cloud Founation®を活用事例をご紹介いたします。 同社のデータセンター「TISC」では3,000〜4,000台規模の仮想マシン（VM）が稼働し、日本の社会基盤を陰で支えています。しかし、急速なシステム拡大に対してインフラSEチームは十分な人数がいない環境。さらに、ISO認証に基づく「開発と運用の完全分離」という厳格なIT統制があるため、開発部門が自社のリソース状況を確認できず、運用チームへの問合せ集中や運用の属人化が課題となっていました。この「部門間の壁」と「少人数運用の限界」を打破したのが、VMware Cloud Foundation（VCF）を活用した運用プロセスの刷新です。 1. アカウント不要の「URL共有ダッシュボード」で情報共有を円滑化 TKC様はVCF Operationsの機能を活用し、開発部門がブラウザ上で自部門のVMリソース（CPU・メモリ等）を閲覧できる社内ポータルを構築しました。個別のログイン権限を与えずに情報共有できるため、厳格なIT統制を守ったままセルフサービス監視を実現。開発者が自発的にボトルネックに気づく文化が生まれました。 2. 勘に頼らない「標準化」とプロアクティブな障害予防 VM展開時やプログラムの一斉適用時には専用ダッシュボードで健全性を一目で比較・確認できるように標準化。これにより、展開時のトラブルを「ゼロ」に抑え込むことに成功しました。 3. セキュリティ強化とネットワーク異常の早期発見 VCF Operations for Networksの「外れ値検知」機能により、目視では気付きにくい不審な通信を自動検知。さらに「VMware vDefend」によるマイクロセグメンテーションを適用し、ゼロトラスト型の強固なセキュリティ基盤を確立しています。 TKC様の事例詳細については以下のPDFをダウンロードの上、ご参照ください。 TKC様導入事例をダウンロード The post 導入事例 : TKC様 appeared first on VMware Japan Blog.
