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
BMC AMI Strobe is a mainframe application performance monitoring tool designed for developers, performance analysts, and IT teams that need fast answers about application inefficiencies. It helps teams move beyond manual log reviews by providing detailed visibility into where applications consume excessive CPU, wait time, and system resources. The platform enables shift-left performance testing by allowing teams to take mainframe measurements within CI/CD pipelines before performance issues reach production. BMC AMI Strobe provides specialized insight for environments using CICS, Db2, IMS, Java, COBOL, IBM Language Environment, and file access. With iStrobe’s browser-based analytics, users can review resource-heavy program statements, CPU usage treemaps, wait reports, SQL access paths, Db2 cost details, and JVM activity. AutoStrobe helps make measurements more predictable by supporting scheduled, repeatable tests and automatic performance monitoring. Global Batch Monitoring can detect jobs with unusual CPU consumption or elapsed time patterns and trigger measurements for deeper analysis. The platform integrates with Jenkins, Azure, CI/CD tools, REST APIs, extensions, plugins, and JCL cards to support automated performance workflows. BMC AMI Strobe helps organizations tune mainframe applications, reduce bottlenecks, control MIPS usage, and maintain more reliable service performance.
