Optimization opportunities for your Tailored Fit Pricing journey
2
Like
Many enterprises face a conundrum when it comes the mainframe. There's pressure to innovate and build new applications while feeling constrained by capacity, performance, and operating budgets. As
IBM
clients continue to adopt
Tailored Fit Pricing
and the tooling to support it
,
they become more empowered with insights to understand how their workloads are impacting operational costs.
Tailored Fit Pricing brings new opportunity. Under the traditional Monthly License Charge (MLC) model, aka the 'Rolling 4 Hour Average' (R4HA), the focus for optimization was solely on the peak 4 hours of the month. But with Tailored Fit Pricing, where every MSU is of equal importance, there are suddenly ~740 other hours in the month that are ripe for optimization.
Many solutions exist to help eliminate inefficiencies and control MSU consumption across every hour in the month. Clients can leverage application modernization approaches, upgrade to the latest compiler technologies, or ensure zIIP-eligible workloads are utilized properly. Another potential solution is that of high-performance in-memory processing. Clients have traditionally used high-performance in-memory processing to
maximize
their
Z investment
s
and drive capacity for new workload
s in both batch and online scenarios.
Want to learn more? Join us for a webinar, Thursday April 22 @ 1pm EST
where we'll be interviewing one of the industry's leading experts on the subject.
We'll
share stories about
how
past clients
drastically improve
d
the performance of vital mainframe applications while
lowering
the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) associated with
their
infrastructure. If Db2
tables
and/or VSAM
files
represent significant sources of
processing
data within your environment, we will share some tactics
you
can
exploit
to
quickly free up CPU
. See you there!
