Another approach is to use your existing mainframe as a data warehouse with a gateway to 
some form unix server database, Oracle, Sybase, whatever.  Then you can place a server
process on the same platform as your database to service all manner of client requests.  This
type of architecture does a couple of things for you.  First, it preserves the utility and
investment in the mainframe.  Second, it makes your clients database independent.  Third,
you can scale both the client and the middle tier server portions of the implementation very
neatly, not to mention the ability to add  or shift functionality.
