What is HCL Z Asset Optimizer (ZAO)?

Prevent your Z System from being overloaded with outdated and superfluous software by optimizing the value derived from your Mainframe systems; this can be accomplished by promoting sustained innovation and rapid deployment through a thorough IT asset management strategy that focuses on the most beneficial software resources for your organization. This approach not only streamlines software costs and simplifies asset management tasks but also ensures that you can easily comply with software vendor audits. ZAO efficiently compiles an accurate inventory of software assets across all mainframe systems by running a batch job that detects loadable programs within zOS® data sets and z/OS UNIX Systems Services file systems. By consistently monitoring and reporting the usage of each asset, you gain valuable insights into software asset performance. In addition, ZAO enables you to incorporate licensing information for your vendor software assets, which is then cross-checked against the inventory and usage metrics of your mainframe systems to reveal areas for optimization and potential audit vulnerabilities. Implementing this comprehensive program not only boosts operational efficiency but also fortifies compliance and promotes strategic allocation of resources, ultimately positioning your organization for sustained success in a competitive landscape. Additionally, this proactive approach allows for timely adjustments to ever-evolving software needs, ensuring that your organization remains agile and responsive in the face of change.

What is BMC AMI Capacity and Cost?

As digitization continues to gain momentum, the complexities of managing mainframe capacity and associated costs are becoming increasingly pronounced. The BMC AMI Capacity and Cost suite improves system uptime, anticipates capacity challenges ahead of time, and effectively optimizes software expenses, which can represent a substantial portion—30-50 percent—of a mainframe's overall budget. Striking a balance between risk management and operational efficiency is crucial for achieving resilience and ensuring that workload variations do not compromise mainframe availability and business needs. By elucidating the management of software licensing costs and pricing models, organizations can obtain critical insights into technical expenses and their contributing factors. With almost five decades of expertise, BMC empowers organizations to detect potential capacity issues before they impact operations through smart workflows that support the evolution of mainframe technology. Additionally, it facilitates the strategic oversight of capacity configurations for less critical tasks, enhancing cost efficiency while preserving service standards. This holistic strategy not only protects current resources but also establishes a strong basis for future scalability and adaptability in an ever-changing digital environment. Ultimately, organizations that leverage these advanced tools are better equipped to navigate the complexities of modern IT landscapes.
