IBM Z Performance Management
Unlock Continuous Availability for your Application Infrastructure
Today’s global, 24/7 economy demands business applications to offer continuous availability (zero service disruptions), but a lack of critical visibility into and understanding of the IT infrastructure makes this difficult to achieve.
IntelliMagic Vision empowers mainframe sites to prevent service disruptions before they occur and utilize measurement data insights to lower costs and optimize business applications.
Lower Your Mainframe Costs and Optimize Your Application Infrastructure
Take Control of Your Mainframe with Interactive Insights and Customizable Reports
Risk Detection and Health Insights Automatically Summarize the Health of Your Entire System
Prevent potential risks to availability and performance with built-in artificial intelligence automatically assessing more than 700 key z/OS metrics and using thresholds derived from built-in expert domain knowledge.
The easily consumable view shown here assesses the overall health of all CICS regions, leveraging user defined CICSGROUPs to enable exceptions from among hundreds of regions to be quickly identified and proactively addressed.
Automated z/OS Anomaly Detection and Statistical Analysis
Statistically significant changes in key metrics are highlighted in Change Detection views. Variations that exceed + or – 2 standard deviations between the current day and the prior 30 days are highlighted.
This can enable you to get an early jump on changes that may have a sustained impact, such as this example of increased CPU consumed by highest dispatching priority System work.
Completely Interactive GUI with Intuitive Visibility into SMF Data
In contrast to approaches today that require coding programs or mastering tooling siloed by technology to access various types of SMF data, a common, intuitive user interface eliminates effort spent mining data and instead frees up staff to focus entirely on high-value analysis.
This single interface used across the entire z/OS platform greatly expedites learning, promotes collaboration, and enhances analytical effectiveness.
Dynamic Report Customization with Robust Editing Options
Advanced report customization capabilities facilitate quick ad hoc analysis without requiring programming or complicated steps and enable data to be viewed in the manner best suited to the current inquiry.
In this example, transaction rate is added to a response time chart to evaluate possible correlation. Numerous intuitive customization options including report type, summarization level, filtering, and interval comparisons.
Accelerate Problem Resolution with Context Sensitive Drill Downs
Context sensitive drill downs enable an analyst to identify alternative analytical paths based on the data currently being displayed and quickly investigate each hypothesis with just a few clicks, greatly reducing lost time when exploring what ends up being a “dead-end” path.
When dealing with massive SMF data volumes, this capability to focus analysis on the desired subset of data becomes especially valuable.
Easily Create, Share, and Export Customized Dashboards for Any Situation
Customizable dashboards collect and display at a glance live views of any collection of reports and metrics of interest to you. When shared within your organization simply and securely via URL, they promote collaboration and provide a common truth for an entire organization.
Users can expand any report and leverage drill down capabilities to pursue further analysis of metrics they find of interest.
AIOps via SaaS Delivery
Advantages to adopting a cloud model include rapid implementation (no lead time to install and setup the product locally), minimal setup (only for transmitting SMF data), offloading staff resources required to deal with SMF processing issues or to install product maintenance, and easy access to IntelliMagic consulting services to supplement local skills.
