Description

As the pace of digitization accelerates, the intricacies of managing mainframe capacity and associated costs also increase significantly. The BMC AMI Capacity and Cost portfolio enhances system availability, anticipates capacity constraints in advance, and streamlines mainframe software expenses, which can account for a staggering 30-50 percent of the overall mainframe budget. Striking a balance between risk and efficiency is essential to achieving operational resilience, necessitating clear visibility into workload fluctuations that could affect both mainframe availability and business requirements. The management of mainframe software licensing costs and pricing structures can be clarified, providing measurable business insights into technical cost data and their underlying factors. By diagnosing capacity challenges before they disrupt operations, organizations can leverage intelligent workflows informed by nearly 50 years of BMC expertise, thus empowering the future generation of mainframe systems. Additionally, effectively managing the capacity settings of less critical workloads can lead to cost optimization while simultaneously safeguarding service levels, further enhancing organizational efficiency. In this way, businesses can remain agile and responsive in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

Description

Improving business outcomes involves making it easier to spot and address high-priority incidents. The WatchTower Platform serves as a comprehensive observability tool that streamlines incident resolution specifically within mainframe environments by effectively integrating and correlating events, data flows, and metrics across various IT silos. It provides a cohesive and intuitive interface for operations teams, allowing them to optimize their workflows. Leveraging established AIOps solutions, WatchTower is adept at detecting potential problems at an early stage, which aids in proactive mitigation. Additionally, it utilizes OpenTelemetry to transmit mainframe data and insights to observability tools, allowing enterprise SREs to pinpoint bottlenecks and improve operational effectiveness. By enhancing alerts with relevant context, WatchTower eliminates the necessity for logging into multiple tools to gather essential information. Its workflows expedite the processes of problem identification, investigation, and incident resolution, while also simplifying the handover and escalation of issues. With such capabilities, WatchTower not only enhances incident management but also empowers teams to proactively maintain high service availability.
