Monitoring Mainframe Performance for z/OS Systems
Many challenges performance analysts face in trying to monitor their z/OS Systems infrastructure come from using outdated methods, multiple tools, or solutions that are reactive rather than proactive.
z/OS Performance Availability and Cost Optimization Best Practices
Why is ensuring application availability and cost optimization on z/OS so difficult? The problem isn’t a lack of data. The challenge is in creating insights from RMF & SMF.
Don’t Let RPO Knock Your SOX Off!
Proving that you maintain control of your recovery point objective (RPO) is key for SOX compliance if you use asynchronous replication to protect your data.
Best Practices for z/OS Application Infrastructure Availability
This webinar demonstrates best practices for ensuring efficient application availability from the z/OS infrastructure from strategic and technical viewpoints.
Is Your Car or Mainframe Better at Warning You?
Early warning can help avoid problems before they occur or impact production, and help fix a minor issue before it gets worse.

Jan 28, 2019 | IntelliMagic announced the return of John Baker to the IntelliMagic team to assist customers operate more efficiently and modernize their data analysis and infrastructure performance.
Intelligent Storage Performance and Capacity Management at DATEV eG
DATEV eG relies on IntelliMagic Vision for performance analysis and capacity planning for disk storage and virtual tape systems.
AIOps, Mainframe Monitoring, MLC Optimization, Oh My: Hot Mainframe Topics of 2018
As 2018 nears its close, I wanted to reflect on the world of RMF/SMF performance analysis and provide an ode to the topics that resonated most within the industry.
Anatomy of an Anomaly – Finding the Root Cause of a CONNECT Time Increase
Recently a situation occurred at one of our cloud services customers that was a real head-scratcher. One of the disk storage systems saw a sudden jump in CONNECT time. What had changed?
Reporting on z/OS Mainframe Application Performance
Intelligent reporting on mainframe applications is very helpful to understand application performance and behavior on the mainframe, and how the applications are using your systems.
Integrating z/OS Performance Management with Splunk & Enterprise Dashboards
IntelliMagic Vision can export data into a Splunk-ready format, after which it can be imported into Splunk. This means not much data is ingested into Splunk, which can be a significant cost-saver.
Forecasting Usage and Capacity Growth
Processors are expensive, and that is why it is crucial to have an accurate understanding of how much capacity you are using and have left before you run out.
