  1. Managing IT and Your Business – Optimizing Mainframe Cost and Performance Peter Plevka, BMC Software

  2. Agenda • Market Analysis • Why BMC Mainview ? • Mainview Solution Details

  3. Expectations Optimize IT CostsHow do you get the most out of every person, asset, or project, and make better resource allocation and sourcing decisions? Improve Quality of ServiceHow do you meet the performance expectations of your internal and external customers? Manage RiskHow do you define and control risk? Increase Business ImpactHow do you ensure IT investments and operational decisions are aligned with business priorities? Provide TransparencyHow do you track cost and activities in your organization and share that with stakeholders?

  4. Challenges • Improve AvailabilityOn average, large companies lose 10-15% of their revenue due to downtime Exceed Service Level Commitments 85% of companies have difficulty meeting service commitments • Assure Recoverability34% of customers rate disaster recovery in their top 3 challenges • Reduce Mainframe CostsCompanies typically buy more capacity every 18-24 months

  5. Agenda • Market Analysis • Why BMC Mainview ? • Mainview Solution Details

  6. The BMC MainView Solutions

  8. Why BMC ? Less CPU Cost - MIPS Included in the study: 5,500 - 2 Physical Machines with 6 LPARS - Installed sub-systems: CICS, IMS, DB2, MQ

  9. Why BMC ? Exploiting zIIPs • Environment: • MIPS Included in the study: 18,007 • 3 Physical Machines with 5 LPARS • Savings = Technical metric * Business metric • Technical Metric – 160 MIPS Saved by efficient monitoring • Technical Metric – 15 MIPS Saved by offloading to zIIPs • Business Metric – $3,578 / MIPS for large environment • Savings = $626,150 / year [$572,480 + $53,670 [zIIP]]

  10. Agenda • Market Analysis • Why BMC Mainview ? • Mainview Solution Details
