BMC MAINVIEW for UNIX System Services

Business Challenge

The demands on OS/390 and z/OS enterprises have never been greater. z/OS continues to grow more complex. With the advent of UNIX running within z/OS, key performance personnel are even more challenged to understand the impact of new USS workloads and resource consumption within their z/OS enterprises.

Business Need

  • Appplications must be available and perform at levels required to satisfy business needs
  • Applications must run consistently and meet explicit or implied Service Level Agreements
  • Need for availability, performance, and throughput of mission-critical business applications
  • Desire for optimal system resource allocation to support critical business application requirements.
  • Need to tie key USS resources to z/OS WLM constructs

Our Solution
