zOptimization Platform Advantages
Cloud-Based Reporting
Includes a daily automated required RMF/SMF upload process for the cloud-based database and reporting solution. This zWorkload Reporter (zWR) cloud based solution does not require system resources nor maintenance from your mainframe side.
Workload Protection
By understanding and completing advanced systems performance tuning and capacity planning analysis, we can prioritize and protect time critical workloads so that they can meet their SLO/SLAs during peak periods and peak season.
Monitoring & Analytics
Provides Real Time Monitor and automated intelligent LPAR HMC Configuration Optimization, Alerting, Scripting APIs, centralized operations and Grafana Dashboard capabilities.
UI and API Connection
zGuard Real Time Monitor uses open interfaces for our pre-defined Scripts or customized code that allows unlimited programming possibilities.
Expertise Support
This service helps customers solve important wide-ranging systems performance tuning areas (such as Advanced WLM Performance Tuning, PR/SM Weighting Factor & Logical CP Configuration Optimization Modeling methods, Sysplex & Coupling Facility, zIIP Analysis, Memory Utilization & MSU Statistical Analysis), Applications Sizing, Capacity Planning and understand implications of different IBM Software Pricing models.
Automation of HMC
zGuard Real Time Monitoring intelligent automated LPAR HMC Configuration Optimization helps you configure your mainframe optimally to control cost by adjusting the LPAR Defined Capacity as needed. In addition, zGuard has the capability to carry our LPAR load balancing within a Sysplex.
