z/OS
Software Cost Reduction Options - 3 July 2009
In today's current
economic climate with financial pressures and associated budgetary
challenges, supplemented by the requirement to deliver higher levels
of service for business applications, are there any options
available to reduce z/OS software costs, while increasing
functionality?
In
conjunction with our partners, Value-4IT are offering several
low-risk options that a customer can easily consider, without increased Capital Expenditure and therefore
budgetary concerns, to reduce associated costs, both in the immediate and
long-terms.
Core
z/OS Software Cost Reduction Option
Are you concerned about
your overall z/OS software costs or how to successfully deploy
VWLC (Variable Workload License Charges)
with “capped” software costs without impacting performance? In
today’s world of ever increasing Mainframe MSU/MIPS capacities and
associated LPAR’s, typically there is a significant amount of “White
Space”, namely unused Mainframe processor capacity, which can be
under utilized, but is still impacting overall software costs, even
with sub-capacity pricing variants. The
AutoSoftCapping (ASC)
solution from
zCOST Management
dynamically and seamlessly interfaces with z/OS and VWLC pricing
mechanisms, introducing a “soft capping” technique, that safeguards
the customer always knows how much their monthly VWLC software bill
will be, while maximizing available MSU/MIPS usage to safeguard
performance for mission critical Service Level Agreements (SLA’s).
In today’s world of challenging economic times why not consider a
solution that can reduce z/OS software costs,
is endorsed by IBM,
with a monthly rental option deal, so you can reduce your Capital
Expenditure, without the need for additional budget, and typically
has an ROI of 6-9 months for perpetual licenses. AutoSoftCapping,
safeguarding the right MSU’s are in the right place, at the right
time and for the right cost!
JES
Spool Management Software Cost Reduction Option
Are you paying too much for
your JES management software or do you require greater functionality? If you’re currently using a JES management tool such
as SDSF, why not review
(E)JES from
Phoenix Software International.
This high function product provides full functionality support for
both JES2 and JES3 environments, and has been globally endorsed by
IBM for superior JES3 management since the early 1990’s.
(E)JES has a workstation component, zIIP exploitation, an ISFCALLS
REXX host command environment, and for JES2 environments is
one-third the price of SDSF. Why not take a look at this
cost-efficient highly functional JES management tool, deployed by many
Global 1000 organizations. In today’s world of challenging economic
times, it makes sense to take advantage of our current offer,
1 year of (E)JES usage at no cost, based on a 5 year term deal, so you can
reduce your Capital Expenditure, without the need for additional
outlay with (E)JES. (E)JES, everything you ever wanted from SDSF -
but for a fraction of the price...
z/OS
Storage Management Software Cost Reduction Option
Are you paying too much for
your z/OS storage management software and/or are you concerned about
its overall functionality? If you’re currently using a Catalog
Management tool such as
Catalog Solution (CSL) or
Catalog RecoveryPlus (CR+) or a z/OS Batch Performance
Improvement tool such as
Performance Essential, why not
review the functionality of
T-REX and
VELOCI-RAPTOR from
Dino-Software. These high function
products are brought to you by the original architects and
developer’s of the original VSAM Mechanic, Catalog Solution, VSAM
Assist and Performance Essential utilities. These products were
originally from Softworks and acquired by EMC in 2000. With
higher-function and competitive pricing available, why not take a
look at these superior tools. In today’s world of challenging
economic times we offer the opportunity to have more while paying
less for T-REX and VELOCI-RAPTOR products from Dino-Software.
