IBM enables performance analysts to manage and optimize their z/OS storage.
IBM just announced a new offering, IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS Storage, that enables performance analysts to manage and optimize their z/OS Disk and Virtual Tape environments more effectively and efficiently. Management and optimization of Replication is a core part of the offering.
- Utilize built-in health insights to help proactively identify risks, ensure availability, and optimize your z/OS storage environment.
- Quickly spot and resolve issues using intuitive drill down features, built-in live edit and comparisons, and easy customizations.
- Thousands of live report visualizations of the performance of your specific storage configuration are included ready for immediate use and customization. Many of these are automatically assessed for performance and availability issues for the dynamic time period you choose using built-in best practices. Live report biews present and update based on live data, interconnected with related views. You can easily, with a click of the mouse, change the scope of the time, logical, and physical aspects of what you need to visualize to understand the performance and configuration of your storage environment.
- Expedite knowledge transfer and skills sharing and enhance domain expertise with built-in detailed explanations, guided drilldown options, and end-to-end z/OS Storage navigation.
As disk speeds and throughputs have increased, z/OS applications have come to rely on fast and consistent storage performance. To respond quickly to unexpected disk and replication issues, it is essential that you have insight into the health of the various components in your storage environment. With tape libraries being shared across multiple z/OS images, the full picture can only be obtained by aggregating workload and tape hardware information from all z/OS LPARs.
IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS Storage automatically generates GUI-based, interactive, rated views that provides continuous assessment of the health of your disk, replication, and virtual tape systems and proactively identifies areas that indicate potential upcoming risk to Storage health and performance. Thus, if there is an incremental degradation in any aspect of your system, you can address it before it causes any business impact, helping to reduce risk, and potentially saving you time and money.
