BMC Performance Analysis and Capacity Management (Mainframe)
IT organizations face a difficult balancing act in provisioning their resources. Acquire too much resource (e.g. MIPS, DASD), and you waste money, drive up costs, and reduce competitiveness. Acquire too little, and you risk missing critical business service levels, causing the company to lose market share, and paying steep financial penalties. Lacking an accurate way to predict the resources required to deliver required service levels, most IT organizations over-spend on hardware and the associated software.
In the mainframe environment, qualified capacity planners are retiring, and less-skilled people are accepting the challenge of mainframe capacity planning. Tools are required to bridge the learning curve and enable junior resources to take on capacity planning responsibilities.
The capacity management solution for mainframes can predict the future service levels for mainframe applications and the utilization levels of the hardware resources that support them. It also provides a Capacity Management Information System (CMIS) repository of historical performance information, along with a graphical client for delivering regular performance reporting and drill-down performance analysis.
It is a complete solution for implementing a Capacity Management process. Easy to use GUIs and wizards enable technical staff to quickly develop fluency and deliver capacity management value with the solution. And, a browser-based data reporting component makes the performance data easily available throughout the organization.
