Mainframe Monitoring & Mainframe Management with BMC MainView
Monitor mainframe systems and
be proactive, not reactive
When it comes down to it, your mainframe needs to do more than manage data. It needs to reduce costs. Diagnose problems. Minimize risks. BMC MainView does it all. With zIIP offloading, scalability, early problem detection, and automatic resolution in real time, you’ll see what it's like to have a mainframe that really works for your business.
New Threshold Advisor: proactive analytics, real-time data
Your mainframe processes an incredible amount of data every day. And to keep your business running at its best, that data needs to be monitored. But who has the time? BMC MainView does.
Threshold Advisor, new to MainView Infrastructure 6.1, is a proactive analytics solution that provides accurate thresholds based on your data.
That means you'll not only get better availability thresholds, but also performance-based alerts that keep an eye on your real-time applications—automatically identifying and resolving problems so they don't slow you down.
Exclusive to BMC MainView—Single System Image
Keeping your mainframe running at peak performance requires nearly constant monitoring of all your mainframe operations. And that’s no easy task, as the number of users and transactions rapidly expands.
That’s where Single System Image (SSI) technology comes in. Offered with all MainView products, SSI consolidates data from multiple sources into one view.
You'll be able to manage all your data as if it were from a single system. Which means greater efficiency, faster mean time to repair (MTTR), fewer outages, and more consistent performance.
BMC's MainView Solutions Manager, Martin Beasley, outlines how to tell if you really have single system image capabilities for mainframe monitoring.
More zIIPs, less MIPs
As your business grows, so does your data—along with the costs to manage it. BMC MainView offers the most CPU-efficient monitoring and management solution in the industry, shifting up to 70% of monitoring overhead from MIPs to zIIPs. The result? More room to process business applications, and performance management that corrects issues before they even have a chance to cost you money.
