ConicIT®
ConicIT is an expert system for z/OS performance monitoring. Using predictive machine learning, ConicIT tirelessly learns and manages your existing monitor infrastructure.
Mitigate the Loss of Experienced z/OS Talent
ConicIT can enhance your z/OS performance management strategy by intelligently learning normal system behavior, proactively analyzing data collected by z/OS monitors, and alerting you when an anomaly is detected. With ConicIT, a lingering performance issue won’t become a costly and aggravating crisis. Allow ConicIT to find and forecast these z/OS performance issues, which will lessen the burden on your z/OS team, optimize workload, lower costs, and reduce risks.
ConicIT runs outside of z/OS, on a Linux server, where it performs as a brilliant and always-alert user of existing z/OS monitoring infrastructure (ie. IBM OMEGAMON™, ASG-TMON™, RMF, CA SYSVIEW™, BMC MainView™, TSO).
An SDS customer recently said how important ConicIT is: “Identifying problems early to find root cause means less finger pointing and faster recovery for users.”
Intelligent and Predictive Operations Management for the Mainframe
Can you identify and eliminate z/OS problems before they impact a single user? ConicIT provides an effective early-warning system for mainframes. ConicIT manages mainframe performance automatically and proactively to avert problems before they happen. ConicIT works with any mainframe performance monitor (OMEGAMON, SysView, MainView, and TMON). ConicIT is a proven solution in the marketplace.
The first machine learning tool which uses predictive analytics, ConicIT monitors 24×7 current and future levels of mainframe usage to stop spikes and utilize wasted downtime.
Using predictive machine learning from ConicIT, problems that can cause a lack of mainframe availability are quickly identified before disruption of service. Newer staff can come up to speed quicker with the intuitive GUI dashboard.
ConicIT lowers z/OS-related costs across the board: significantly reduces the time the z/OS team spends identifying issues, drastically reduces the potential for costly downtime, and helps decrease IBM monthly license costs by forecasting future demand, which will avoid spikes and detect unused mainframe capacity.
With ConicIT, you shift from reactive to proactive system management, strategically redeploy your IT team, benefit from advanced automation, replace retiring or missing expertise, and reduce the aggravation of costly crisis management. Why not predict and prevent?
Cost Savings
With ConicIT, you will see direct and undeniable savings at the bottom line. One customer saved $225,000 per year, and twice or three times that amount in problem resolution and staff time.
Performance
ConicIT continuously analyzes and evaluates z/OS mainframe performance data, quickly learning normal behavior. A tiny performance deviation will trigger an alert and the issue can be resolved long before causing any possible problems.
Security
ConicIT is always on, working as a 24/7 expert user that comes to intimately understand normal system behavior. Then it recognizes anomalies and predicts coming trouble, allowing you to fix the issue before an incident.
