Performance and Capacity Insights for your Outsourced z/OS Mainframe

This webinar will discuss the best practices for managing your replicated tape environment, with particular focus on IBM TS7700 and Oracle VSM environments, so you can properly monitor the performance of your z/OS Tape infrastructure and prevent performance problems before they occur.

This webinar will discuss the potential benefits and implications of this revolutionary change to mainframe I/O and help sites determine how zHyperLink fits into the roadmap for their environments.

This webinar, which had the highest number of registrations in IBM System Magazine history, discusses and demonstrates the benefits of modernizing how you understand and leverage the SMF data for CICS and Db2 Performance analysis.
It highlights how the IntelliMagic approach with automatic health checks and dashboard technology identifies potential performance and availability issues before they impact production.

This session will examine the historical reasons why the performance and financial cost impact on the z/OS infrastructure has been difficult to test in DevOps organizations. We will also discuss an architecture and modernized methodology to utilize built-in (artificial) intelligence on the vast infrastructure performance and configuration data (RMF/SMF).
This modernized approach can significantly improve release quality as it relates to the z/OS infrastructure’s ability to efficiently deliver the service levels required by specific applications.

Outsourcing of z/OS mainframes is not uncommon. Yet there are common application infrastructure performance and capacity related issues for the business that arise in outsourcing situations.

IntelliMagic partners, Cheryl Watson of Watson & Walker and Charles Hinkle of Edge Solutions and Consulting join us in this CMG-hosted webinar to explore these issues and more.

Enterprise class data storage technology continues to advance with amazing capabilities, so why do storage problems still disrupt production apps?

Led by IntelliMagic's Director of Technical Services, Brett Allison, join us to learn how these issues can be solved.

2018 is a watershed year for how RMF (or CMF) and SMF data is used by Performance and Capacity teams. This webinar covers the smarter analytics trends taking root in the mainstream.

Most environments have hidden availability risks because getting insights in the end-to-end risks, from the VMware guest through the SAN fabric to the Storage LUN, is difficult to accomplish in practice. It requires many relationships from a variety of sources. This webinar will cover: • What is the topology viewer? • Requirements for the topology viewer? • What kinds of end-to-end infrastructure storage problems are discoverable with the topology viewer? • How can you diagnose issues with it? • How can I get ahold of it?

24x7 performance from the z/OS infrastructure is more important than ever, but also more difficult than ever using reporting tools designed decades ago. Evolve to intelligent analytics to reduce performance risk, optimize infrastructure costs, and bridge the skills gap.

The mainframe skills gap makes a difficult job harder, especially in the area of z/OS performance and capacity planning which requires deep expertise across all the areas of the infrastructure.
Modernizing how you analyze and interpret your RMF/CMF & SMF data using AI techniques makes the best use of your current deep experts, and helps newer staff get up to speed sooner.

New insights are obtained by automatically interpreting the RMF and SMF data using embedded expert knowledge about the I/O workloads within the context of the specific storage infrastructure in use.
This session will demonstrate the method and benefits of modernizing the status quo way of understanding the data, which is still typically an internal PDB and custom-coded reports that require manual interpretation of unrated, static reports to discover what is important in the data.

See how AI techniques such as embedded expert knowledge are used to dynamically generate intelligence from data and realize its true value.

Beginning with z13 processors and continuing with z14s, customer experiences have confirmed that delivered capacity is more dependent than ever before on effective utilization of processor cache. This session covers how to interpret the SMF 113 metrics to optimize your environment and reduce CPU consumption and MLC software expense, and reflects findings from analyzing detailed processor cache data from 50 sites.

This webinar will discuss and demonstrate how intelligence is generated, and how it can proactively solve both performance and space oriented problems, including understanding burn rates and forecasted exhaustion dates.
