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

Avoid burdening your Z System with old and unnecessary software by maximizing the return on investment from your Mainframe systems; this can be achieved through fostering ongoing innovation and speed by utilizing the software resources that are most valuable to your organization via a comprehensive IT asset management strategy. Streamline software expenses, ease asset management responsibilities, and effortlessly meet software vendor audit requirements. ZAO generates a precise inventory of software assets across each mainframe system by executing a batch job that identifies loadable programs within zOS® data sets and z/OS UNIX Systems Services file systems. Continuous monitoring and reporting of each asset's usage provide you with a clear perspective on software asset performance. Furthermore, ZAO allows you to input licensing details for your vendor software assets, which are then cross-referenced with the inventory and usage data on your mainframe systems to uncover optimization opportunities and potential audit risks. By implementing such a program, organizations not only enhance efficiency but also ensure compliance and strategic resource allocation.
