What is VFI?

VFI delivers a valuable strategy for managing batch applications by leveraging analytics and automation, which reduces dependence on domain experts and curtails the need for extensive resources. This approach enhances operational resilience and lessens the business risks linked to mainframe batch application data, while providing immediate insights into data interrelationships and possible weaknesses. Built on a robust framework that employs near real-time collection and analysis of SMF data, VFI is adept at analyzing data usage patterns and upholding a meticulous inventory of curated information. This capability allows for rapid, automated recovery of mainframe batch data to address diverse operational requirements or to support disaster recovery efforts, all achievable without the need for specialized application knowledge. Additionally, VFI offers a comprehensive inventory of mainframe batch data usage and backups, coupled with tools designed to streamline the backup process and enable prompt data recovery. In the end, this all-encompassing solution for mainframe batch data integrates every application component, ensuring adherence to service level agreements (SLA) and promoting high availability. As a result, organizations can navigate obstacles with greater efficiency and sustain business continuity more effectively, securing their operations against unexpected disruptions.

What is BMC AMI Ops?

BMC AMI Ops is an AIOps-powered mainframe operations platform that helps enterprises improve observability, resilience, performance, automation, and cost control. The solution is designed for teams managing critical mainframe environments where blind spots, alert noise, manual triage, and performance issues can create operational risk. BMC AMI Ops provides a single integrated view across multiple mainframe systems and subsystems, giving teams clearer visibility into z/OS, z/OS UNIX, CICS, Db2, IMS, IBM MQ, Java workloads, networks, storage, batch processing, and capacity drivers. Its AI-driven anomaly detection helps identify unusual behavior and potential issues before they become service disruptions. Self-learning AI and machine learning models continuously adapt to system behavior, improving the accuracy of problem detection over time. Embedded GenAI capabilities translate findings into context, business impact, and guided remediation so operators can move from alert to action faster. The platform also supports OpenTelemetry-compliant streaming, helping organizations extend mainframe observability into broader enterprise monitoring and analytics platforms. BMC AMI Ops helps consolidate alerts, reduce operational noise, automate repetitive tasks, and improve mean time to detect and resolve problems. Its automation and optimization capabilities can reduce human error, improve resource utilization, lower CPU and MIPS usage, and support more efficient mainframe operations. The broader capability set includes monitoring, automation, network visibility, CICS control, Db2 optimization, IMS insights, Java environment monitoring, MQ management, storage oversight, batch optimization, cost analytics, console management, and real-time operational data streaming.
