CA Resource Management Suites Address the Challenges of Optimizing the Online Mainframe

Tags:
mainframes

Overview Billions of eBusiness and supply-chain dollars depend on highly available, high performance mainframe applications and subsystems. Millions of people access and analyze petabytes of structured data stored in mainframe-based databases. Yet datacenter experts still rely on older, home-grown tools to aggregate and deliver critical system data to key management applications. Without timely and accurate system information, datacenter experts are hard pressed to optimize capacity utilization of these critical systems, resolve system issues and improve system cost effectiveness. This paper discusses why home-grown solutions have difficulty scaling to meet the new management challenges of online, highly-connected mainframes and outlines how CA's Resource Management Suites address these challenges to deliver specific business and IT benefits.
