BMC MainView Console Automation for zEnterprise
Benefit from an off-board, shutdown-to-startup monitoring and automation solution for System z
Secure and auditable remote access means no software is installed on the mainframe, and no special configuration on the mainframe is required.
This solution provides:
- Secure, password-controlled access to System z consoles using standard repositories, such as RACF, Active Directory, and LDAP
- Browser-based operations work bench that helps you consolidate, distribute, search, and scroll through console messages, including NIP/IPL
- Easy-to-use rule language that highlights or suppresses messages and alerts staff to critical situations
- Built-in support for BMC solutions, such as BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management
With BMC MainView Console Automation for zEnterprise, you can:
- Support data center consolidation, M&A activity, and follow-the-sun global strategies
- Reduce mainframe downtime and MTTR for IPL issues
- Enhance MIPS reduction efforts by running off the mainframe
- Maximize efficiency of operations staff without increasing budget
- Consolidate and distribute console messages based on user role, location, or area of responsibility
- Monitor and automate System z messages when the mainframe is IPLed, after and before the OS is running (NIP Console messages)
- Enable dynamic disaster recovery capabilities, allowing DR tests in remote locations to be run by local operations.
