When it comes to mainframe performance, CPU often gets the spotlight—but I/O is just as critical to the story. This webinar dives into the often-underestimated role of I/O in mainframe environments and explores how it directly impacts application performance, resource consumption, and cost.

Join us to learn:

• Why I/O is just as vital as CPU in understanding workload behavior
• How to interpret I/O metrics and uncover hidden performance bottlenecks
• How zHyperLink (zHL) introduces a new dimension of ultra-low-latency I/O
• The importance of balance across storage tiers and technologies
• The costs and benefits of data mirroring, including DRP strategies and sync vs async trade-offs
• Practical strategies to influence and optimize I/O for better outcomes

Whether you're in operations, performance tuning, or IT finance, this session will help you gain a more complete view of your workload’s components and make smarter decisions.
