About Santa Rosa Software

Founded in 2023, the genesis of Santa Rosa Software was to create mobile applications for the mainframe – specifically IBM z/OS – for the next generation of mainframers. With the average age of a mainframe programmer at around 50 years, IBM and its affiliated education partners are rapidly building a new wave of programmers, young and ready for the workforce. This new generation of mainframers is the first generation of programmers born and raised with mobile devices. However, there are few mobile apps for mainframe systems and Santa Rosa was founded to help fill this gap.

Our first mobile app for the mainframe is KhyberPass and it is a password generator that accounts for the z/OS security facilities RACF, ACF2 and zSecure’s Top Secret. KhyberPass is the first of many mobile applications on Santa Rosa’s radar to help this next wave of mainframer on IBM z/OS.
